Tabacstag!
Another amazing Tabac shave. Super slick lather starting with a damp HIS lather monster. My SC101 made smooth, easy work of my stubble. My face feels great. Synergy Bay Rum Aftershave Tonic is an excellent product, and it pairs well with Tabac cologne.

CO Bigelow can
Astra in Gillette ‘Fatboy’ 1960
finish with Skin Bracer

No change from yesterday but I am surprised how enjoyable it has been the last two days bowl lathering. I am going to try my nest set up with the salsa bowl, will probably like that better.

Thanks! The Goldedge is definitely a 'keeper'!

Nice close shave ready for the football game in a few hours

I thought the NFL season doesn't start until late August?....

No idea I'm talking about World Cup ;P

Oh...... yeah........that.

Razor: Wester Bros no 16 1/4 hollow + ER 1924
Blade: GEM
Brush: Muhle Black Fiber Synthethic
Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Post: Pinaud

I had a better shave today. No tugging from the straight. On my chin it needs to be held completely flat otherwise it will scrape and tug awfully. I got cut on my cheek. The blade has a nick at the point so it left not a slice but a little hole there.

One more problem. When using the straight flat it seems to just glide and not cut. Maybe MWF has TOO much cushion...

Finished up with the '24 using a single WTG pass.

Football! I can't wait!

That's been started for a while. Ignoring it for the time being because Germany is playing in 1hr 26m

I've watched a couple of games. I like the wider/longer field. Who's your team?

2 passes with the grain. I was tired and didn't feel like going across the grain =)

Wow! ymmv. I only have vintage razors, having tried and been unimpressed with new ones. I have everything from a 1920's Gillette Old Type to a 1960's era Schick Krona. Love them all.
