    Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap

    AutoStrop B1
    Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade

    The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop B1 and the Personna GEM SS PTFE 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...

  7. Tuesday morning:

    Cool shower
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/7 AM day 10
    Williams Menthol SC
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

    My Plissoft 26mm synthetic is a great brush for lathering creams as well as soaps which come in smaller containers - it did a fantastic job with the Williams Menthol cream. This stuff is from France, I believe and it smells so nice, the menthol sensation is at a good middle of the road level, and it’s pretty good in the skincare department. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me plenty of soothing with a nice cooling effect, and the Alt Innsbruck aftershave went on icy cold along with its lovely old school European scent. I did just two passes but I still got a fabulous BBS shave!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

  20. Wednesday morning:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 11
    Erasmic Supreme Shaving Stick
    Prep ASB
    Booster Polar Ice AS Splash
    Aramis EdT

    This Erasmic Supreme stick has been sitting here in my house for ages so I decided to give it a spin this morning. From what I understand it was discontinued a long time ago and it’s a pity because it’s excellent. It has the same beautiful old school scent as the original Erasmic bowl soap as well as terrific lather that really slick as well as a very moisturizing and comfortable postshave feeling. I enjoyed my massage with the Prep balm, and the Polar Ice aftershave went on with its lovely barbershop scent. Finally the Aramis fragrance that I love so much and I’m good to go. Three passes delivered a wonderful BBS shave that was loads of fun!

    Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]
