    Two razors today...
    Why?
    Because I did want to use a Morris blade, but had no idea if the Rotbart would have accepted it.
    Now I know: it does not!

    So, i switched to the tech which is a guarantee!

    Nice set-up Tim.
    I really wanted to like the WSP Gaelic Tweed, but found it too strong (!). IMO, Mystic Water's Irish Traveler is a better option.

    A repost from the Turkish thread, but hey, every post is a good one, right?

    • Brush: Turkish Star
    • Cream: Turkish Derby Normal
    • Razor: Turkish YUMA
    • A/S: Turkish Kolonya
    • Blade: Rapura SS

    I got this all on holiday in Turkey a few years ago (cost about $5). And it was, and continues to be a revelation to use. Sure, the stuff is cheap as chips and doesnt look much, but wow, its always an utter joy to use. The Derby cream smells great and is every bit as good, if not better, than any other cream i have. The brush is great as well. The razor is a mystery to me as to why it works so well for me. I could shave for days with it. No irritation today. No A/S burn. Just a lovely BBSish shave this morning.

    Great stuff.

    Tabac Tuesday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    The Brush by Tom
    Gillette Techmatic
    Techmatic Adjustable
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with The Brush by Tom. I did two passes with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Adjustable razor band and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    70A28E6B-091F-4EB9-8687-76CFC34442FA.jpeg Tuesday morning - a blue shave:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 2
    Bielita SC
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Smooth as smooth could possibly be - these Wilkinson blades are fantastic. They’re very sharp, smooth, as well as pretty good in the longevity department. This Bielita cream from Belarus smells so nice, it lathers like crazy, and it has a good menthol sensation which becomes really apparent during the second pass, and it’s also very skin friendly. The Prep and Aqua Velva gave me such great postshave care. All it took were two passes to accomplish my BBS mission!
