Tabacstag!
Superb shave today. I think MLPB has proven itself a valuable part of my prep. Tabac never fails, but this shave just felt smoother and the lime scent was a welcome fresh wake up. Der vorschlaghammer was well behaved, and CFG Sherlock finished it off right.

OMG, I tried the new Glacial Obsidian puck which I recently bought and it's FANTASTIC. My face felt like it was absolutely frozen by the time I started doing my first pass, and by the time I finished shaving it felt borderline-painful. The lather builds very easily - in fact, I'm not used to these Glacial soaps being so easy to lather!

 

I thought you were using this bowl to create lather.

 

Outstanding picture!!!

If I didn't have a dentist appointment today my Frag selection would have been Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille.Instead I went for the lighter Santa Maria Novella Tabacco Toscano,very similar but the SMN is a bit lighter and more suitable for the warmer weather and hopefully the dentist office,LOL!!!

Stay frosty,my friends!

I used the La Toja stick again today and achieved very nice results. 3 passes and very smooth, but not quite irritation free. La Toja, IMHO, doesn't have enough cushioning. It is moisturizing and fairly slick, but it just doesn't protect my face in the same way the french soaps protect it.

Thank you! Thanks to Pho. to. Lab Pro..

Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Shield Face Wash
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89 w/MR5 handle
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Brush: Olive Wood Finest 22/50mm
Lather: Pré de Provence No 63
Post: Alum. Thayers Cucumber WH.
Aftershave: Folsom & Co. Muir
First time using PdP no 63, I had PdP some time ago and don't care for it, this time is different, much different. Very easy to lather, the scent.. Very complicated, peppery, citrus, woody cedar, tobacco. Awesome! I'll use this soap again tomorrow as I want to see how the post shave is. F&C Muir matches perfectly with PdP no 63.
Go out and get it
