    obtained very close to BBS with almost no irritation and just the tiniest sting from the alum in one spot. It was the one of, if not the best shaves I ever got.

    Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Derby Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
    GEM Damaskeene Open Comb
    Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Clubman

    The Derby Shave Cream was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene Open Comb and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Guten Morgen liebe Herren!

    (Good morning dear sirs!)

    Gerade eben:

    (Just before)

    Long shower with Tabac bath soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 14
    Tabac Shaving Stick
    Lubriderm Moisturizer
    Tabac Deodorant Spray
    Tabac AS Splash
    Tabac Cologne

    Every time I use Tabac for some reason I start thinking in German which is a childhood language of mine!

    Honestly I enjoy Tabac so much - the bath soap, the shaving soap, the deodorant spray, the aftershave and cologne all have that wonderful old school European scent that I love so much. This stick that I used is an old one - it was sent to me as a gift ages ago but it still performs beautifully - it delivered tons of fabulous lather with such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer provided lots of soothing, the Tabac deodorant spray is so efficient, and finally the matching aftershave followed by the cologne had me smelling terrific. This 7 AM blade is pretty much at the end but it gave me one last hoorah with a super duper three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

    Allen ein tolles Wochenende - passt auf euch auf!

    (To all of you a great weekend - take care of yourselves!)[​IMG]

    Razor: Carbon Shaving Co. Cx-Iliad
    Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp, 1st use
    Brush: Heritage Collection Shaving Merit 99-5 Turquoise SHD Badger
    Bowl: CaYuen Workshop The Breakwater Bowl
    Preshave: Hwayeon Soap Co. Shaving Gel Gel
    Soap: Macduffs Soap Co. Alberta Boys II: Electric Oudaloo Cream
    Aftershave: Macduffs Soap Co. Alberta Boys II: Electric Oudaloo Aftershave
    Additional Care: Osma Alum
    Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

    Today’s shave was brought to me by Carbon Shaving and Macduffs Soap Co. I needed an excellent shave so I went to two I knew wouldn’t disappoint!

    The Carbon Cx is probably my favorite razor. If you go by the amount I own it definitely is. The Iliad is definitely the prettiest of them. What more can be said about the Cx with the ++ plate? The best shave I get currently is from this razor and plate! If I could only have one razor for the rest of my life it would be a Carbon Cx!

    And Macduffs is one of my favorite artisans. I use their body soap almost daily and their shave soap as much or more than any other. The base is amazing, the scents never disappoint, and the skin feel is tops! And Alberta Boys Deux don’t disappoint! Wow! Electric Oudaloo it is! The sweetness I’m met with at first takes a back seat to the warm oudiness (is that a word? No) tobacco, and woodiness (is that a word? Yes) Sean has done amazing things as always!

    All in all an amazing Saturday shave! Great shaves all!

    That's an awesome lineup my Lantzman! Tabac is terrific all the way around! At some point I will have to add the Eau de Cologne as well!
