I’m not buying any soap now, Joe! In fact I’ve been PIFing soaps that were given to me or arrived via raffle. I certainly wouldn’t ever buy any Tabac product. I’ve enough MWF, Nancy Boy, Castle Forbes Lime, Haslinger Schafmilch, and Martin de Candre Vetiver to last for several years. I’ve tried the CK6, the milksteak, the Baume.BE and the A&E base, and have passed them on to my son who appreciates them more than me. I like sharp and slick more than stink! The five soaps above all are slick and have the post shave feel I look for. The CF and MdC have some odor, but it rapidly fades. Have passed all the other stuff on to my family and some newbs in the FB groups I belong to.
January Focus Valobra Fougère~~Simpson Milk Churn~~2011 Mühle R41/Feather~~Vintage Brut All this talk about Brut, inspired me to feature my vintage bottle (one stashed in reserve ) of the classic juice. I chose my favorite fougère-scented soaps, which also happens to be one of THE best soaps, ever: Valobra Fougère. Yowsers, what a magnificent lather! Day three with the Feather blade and the steel is already showing degradation. Excess pressure on the left side of my chin rewarded me with a small weeper...or two. The interesting thing about the R41, is that it's MORE aggressive than a straight razor. Would I recommend it as someone's "daily driver"? Nope. Post shave culminated with a lovely splash of Brut. Top-notch juice.
Great to hear from you, Terry! I’m really glad to hear you and yours are ok! Stop in whenever you can! I miss your Razor McGyver posts!
Great shave and pic, Jason! The R41 is like a jealous woman! You need to keep your attention on her, or she’ll bite!
Fantastic color coordinated shave Danny. I hope you get the razor dialed in. Glad to hear you are doing well Terry. Take care and be safe. Wonderful shave and photo Jason. Love the warm tones Simply Awesome Joseph.
Care to strike a NB deal with Yours Truly, or will you idly sequester on the sidelines and sip your cappuccino with pinky extended? It's more fun if you're in the game. Plus I win more stuff and I get to brag more! #tripledogdare
