Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer

Immer eine prima Rasur wenn ich die Tabac Seife benutze - der Duft ist so angenehm sowie “old school,” der Schaum ist so reich, und leicht anzuschlagen, und die Hautpflege ist so sanft and beruhigend! (Always a great shave when I use the Tabac soap - the scent is so nice as well as “old school,” the lather is so rich and easy to whip up, and the skincare is so gentle and soothing!) The Lubriderm moisturizer works wonders for sensitive skin, there’s nothing like finishing off with the deodorant spray as well as the aftershave and cologne!

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A relaxing cooling early morning face & head shave.

Starting off the month off with 1960's Gillette Slim Twist.

The 1960's slim twist was my first vintage Gillette DE razor which was kindly passed on to me by a friend of the family. I've said this on many occasions, it still amazes me that a 60-year-old + vintage razor can still shave so smoothly.

The Lord shark super stainless are a good match for the mild, yet efficient with the 60's slim twist feeling comfortable smooth & efficient.

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 Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #462 Synthetic
Supply SE Injector Razor
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #462 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE 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...

Maggard London Barbershop Shave Soap & After-Shave

I saw yesterday in a Merkur email ad that Merkur blades are now Dovo blades. Merkur is selling them out of their site. I was wondering what kind of transaction brought that about.
A very good & close 2 pass shave.
Maggard products are excellent.

Happy Canada Day for my fine neighbors up north.

What's your take on London Barbershop? I always had my eye on that one.

Happy Canada Day to those who celebrate. Here's how I opened up for July:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash
lather-Mike's Unscented
brush-Razorock Plissoft 400 Synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Osage Rub

Outstanding Lavanille Shave!

I must say, Noble Otter is moving away from its Texas-based offerings, that is, not moving away, but trying some that don't pertain to Texas.

A magnificent Canada Day shave my Achee!

And now I know.
I have a 34C - chrome
And a 34G - gold
Had to look up 34S. Thought you had a typo! Nope. Very nice!!

It's easy to lather even in my hard water. It's slick and doesn't dry too quickly on the face. It's scent is a little similar to Stirling Barbershop but plenty different also. To me, it's a toss-up as to which one I like better. They're both great.

Thank you. It's a limited edition, but I have no idea of how limited. I just sent an email to Mark of Sharpologist that to me, it shaves smoother and closer than the other two 34s. I have them also.
