    Good afternoon, guys!
    Gillette Slim Adj N4 (9)
    Rockwell Razor DE
    Rockwell Syn. Brush
    Razorock XX SS
    Clubman Lilac Vegetal AS
    Nivea ASB
    I haven't used my Slim for some time so I decided to bring it out. Rocky brush does a great job in whipping up a fantastic lather. The RR XX is a good soap, but there is very little scent to it. As a result, I only use it when I want to use non-matching aftershaves such as AV, Clubman Classic, etc. Two passes gave me an IBSS ++ without any probems. Liberally applied the Veg and then followed with Nivea. Have a great evening, fellas! 20200121_155658.jpg 20200121_155658.jpg

    Tabac Tuesday, January 21

    Tabac~~Simpson 59~~Friodur 472
    In keeping with tradition, I had to choose Tabac for today's shave.
    IF I had to find any fault with Tabac, it would be that the ceramic container, while nice,
    is not friendly to large-knotted brushes.
    That's it, however---as I consider Tabac a top-shelf shave soap.
    Loved the smoothness of the Twin. It's one of my favorite razors
    and I have long-since forgiven it for nearly lopping off my knuckle.

    Two and 1/2 passes for another excellent Tabac shave.    ​

    Fantastic shave, Maestro! Friodurs are great shavers because they keep their edge.

    I'm glad you and the Twin have made up, Joseph! She's too pretty to keep on the sidelines!

    Try the ‘fools pass’, south to north, hold the blade with two hands and move your head not your hands.

    Using and empty CJB I was able to build muscle memory and try out new angles and passes, highly recommended.

    That is fast and including shower!

    Your going to enjoy the hot lather on cold days.

    Worked for me.

    We arrived in Pennsylvania about thirty minutes ago. We had a safe trip please keep the family in your prayers. Doug passed away yesterday afternoon at 6:00 P. M. Take care everyone.

    It is 18 degrees up here. That is too cold for this Alabama boy!

    Wonderful shave and photo Joseph. The Twin is certainly a great looking SR.

    got the talc now to use as a post shave. I've noticed talc has helped with my acne break outs from shaving. anyway this particular talc brings back a lot of memories for me as far as the scent. As a little boy I remembered the barber would throw a little on my neck after I'd get my haircut.
