    Thursday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Wilkinson TTO/Wilkinson day 5
    Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

    Such an awesome and enjoyable BBS shave done so easily with this Wilkinson razor. The Wilkinson blades are also excellent - in fact I find them almost as good as the Astra Greens which are my favorites. My wife is so wonderful - she packed five of my favorite soaps for our trip so I would have some variety. The Klipspringer soap lathered crazy-thick and rich, I enjoyed the beautiful coffee/peppermint scent, and the menthol effect felt fantastic. The Prep and Aqua Velva were a perfect finish!

    Tabac Thursday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Bunny B-400 by Tom
    Gillette Double Ring
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Bunny B-400 by Tom. I used my 114 year old Gillette Double Ring today. I did two passes with the Double Ring razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. Got a great shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: (s) Gillette Guard/Braun 3 Electric
    Blade: Single Edge Guard (11)
    Lather: Proraso Red
    Brush: VDH ?
    Pre Shave: DIY
    AS: Mennen Afta


    Very nice shave, using Proraso with the Guard SE was really great, smooth, clean and pretty close. That was for the 1st pass of 2. With a slightly thinner Lather for the Electric, I finished up a happy camper with better than a DFS,God Bless all.

    I think they sell wipes as refreshers.
