If I may suggest a bit more attention to skin stretching. It helps the whiskers stand up a bit so the primary passes are better. I got in the practice of limiting how much I went over given areas to limit irritation. Comfortable finish was and is always my goal. Be well!

Good morning/evening Gents! Realized for me that nighttime shaving is much easier as I hate the need to rush in the morning. So here is my latest nighttime shave experience: Razor: Merkur 23C Blade: Shark Super Chrome Preshave: Lather: Tabac Brush: Synbad Synthetic brush Postshave: Alum, Pacific Shaving Company Caffeinated aftershave Another great shave! Tried out a sample of Tabac today that I received from @RyX . The lather, cushion, and glide were awesome. Tabac like Arko seems to lather like a beast. In some ways it produces even thicker and slicker lather. Though that just could be me getting the hang of getting the water content right these days. The alum stung a little bit in some areas but was still pretty mild. Also good post shave feel as well. The only thing about the Tabac though is the smell...I'm not sure it's a smell I like. The Route barbershop Hop smell was one I liked very much but this one felt a bit too strong in some ways. Still overall from a performance standpoint I do like the soap. I'll have to do a few more shaves with it to see if it's a smell I can get used to...Happy shaves everyone!
the scent was odd at first to me but it grew on me. now i love it..i hope it finds a place for you..one of the last great old school soaps around..
