Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Tom's B400 Two-band Badger
Bunny V3 Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's B400 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector razor and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I'm not much of a lip-reader, but it looks like he's saying Christimas is practically "Yaaahhhie".

 

Tuesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Wilkinson Sword day unknown
Wilkinson Sword Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Musgo Real Classic AS Splash

This morning I decided to go with my Wilkinson Sword DE so I could compare it to my Super Speed and the truth is it’s slightly more aggressive but it’s not a brutal razor - just a bit more attention is required. The blade was last used quite a while ago but I can’t remember what day it was on. The Wilkinson stick smells really nice, it gives excellent lather just like the Palmolive one and it’s very skin friendly. I hope this stick didn’t meet the same fate as the Palmolive one because it’s so good. The Lubriderm moisturizer is very soothing, and the Musgo Classic aftershave smells great. Three passes cleaned me up beautifully - another tip top BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas Eve - be well and stay safe!
