The Williams Mug 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 Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Long cool shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 11
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

Wowwwwww, did I ever enjoy this setup - there’s nothing like the beautiful old school European scent of Tabac - the bath soap made my skin feel so well moisturized as well as squeaky clean, the shaving soap delivered tons of thick, rich, super slick gorgeously scented lather, the Lubriderm moisturizer gave me lots of soothing, then finally the matching deodorant spray followed by the matching aftershave and cologne - am I ever BBS smooth after three glorious passes. What a brilliant shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

I’m Israeli but I come from a multilingual family and in addition to Hebrew I grew up speaking German as well as Russian and quite a few other languages.

Tabac is such a treasure!
