Well it's no guarded secret. I found his real name in a national magazine article that talked about his shaving business. I still like to think of him as his character name though.
This razor and two others have been sidelined for awhile as the edges needed some work to sharpen. I’m not the handiest guy around so it’s easy to put tasks like that off. Anyhow, it’s back in action now along with the others (coming up in future shaves.) The end result was a very close and smooth shave. But the quarter hollow grind is going to take some getting used to.

Decadent December!!! December 3 Razor - 1960 (F4) Gillette Toggle (9) Blade - (2) Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple Brush - 30 DC Meet-Up LE/TGN Silvertip Grade A Badger Post - Alum While it may be Tuesday, I picked the Menthol Monday soap from my decadent options. Since I started yesterday with Christmas Eve from Stirling I just delayed the menthol until today. Never fear, Tabac Tuesday fans....there's always Tabac Thursday. Which precedes Fat Friday which......ummm, yeah I'll figure it out. Stayed with the Toggle and Sharp Star and used the new TGN Silvertip Grade A Badger that I set in a Meet-Up handle from @jtspartan . This is the same knot that is in my Wolf Whiskers, just a bigger version. The Wolf is 24mm, the Meet-Up LE is 28mm. For a first use the knot did extremely well. It really soaked up the water and made a rich and creamy lather and man is it ever luxurious feeling already. This will be a fantastic brush once it's fully broken in. Three passes of luxuriousness and the baby is on board and I feel like a million bucks. I'm liking how this month is starting off. Hope you all had a great day! Have an even greater Wednesday!!
Tabac Tuesday Razor: TOMX by Tom Blade: Personna Lab Blue Brush: Everready 2500 Soap: Tabac AS: Tabac Busted out my TOMX tonight. First time trying a Personna Blue. I was a bit disappointed with this blade. I found it not very smooth. However it did give a very nice result. This Everready brush is becoming one of favorites. It is plush and oh so soft. Anyhow the Tabac as always is spot on. Tom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
