Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A relaxing early morning face & head shave.

A great cooling performance from the Ingram Shave Cream.

The Vie-Long horse hair brush performed superbly. I find that with horse hair brushes painting on the lather gives the best shaving results when using shaving creams or croaps.

Another close comfortable acceptable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Blue Stratos Original Blue ASL.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

TABAC Shaving Soap & After Shave

My first shave with this new razor.
It's based on the 1950's HD 34C design. I was unaware it had changed. This one is more efficient, so I don't know why it was ever changed. It's a really great razor that's a limited edition and silver plated. It didn't say how limited it would be.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Probak Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Probak DE Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Awesome shave buddy!

I should’ve used Tabac today!

Tuesday morning:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 10
Lea Menthol SC
Bundubeard Boomslang 3 ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

It’s been really hot here lately so menthol is a necessity. The Lea Menthol cream I agree is not in the same league as any of the Stirling Glacials but it still has a very good icy kick to it, the scent is so nice, it’s a great latherer, and it has excellent skincare. The Boomslang 3 balm is also very soothing as well as moisturizing, it smells really nice, and it has strong menthol. Finally the Skin Bracer aftershave went on good and chilly along with its beautiful old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Another most enjoyable three pass shave - today I’ll be hanging out at my pool!

Bonne Saint-Jean-Baptiste à tous les Québécois!
