Homemade Green Grass Shaving Soap

Tabac AS

Its yours. My wife will be happy to see it go. I did not realize how strong it smells and did two spritzes. I think she commented on it before I made it upstairs.

Looks like someone found an HTML book.

 

Tuesday 9/2 . . .

• [*]Prep: Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: C&E BBB
  [*]Cream: C&E Sienna
  [*]Razor: GEM Contour for face & Braun electric for head
  [*]Blade: GEM Super Stainless by Personna (shave 2)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner and C&E Sienna ASB
  
  [*]Result: Nice comfortable BBS shave. The razor is great. It is not my granddad's type GEM but it helped me get a great shave. It is heavier than my older GEMs and seemed so smooth on my face. The Personna blade also did well on day two. I will use this razor and blade combo again real soon.

 

Red tip Gillette SuperSpeed
Derby blade
Vulfix “Mayfair” pure badger brush
Caswell-Massey Sandalwood shave soap
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue aftershave lotion
Caswell-Massey Lime balm
Caswell-Massey Lime Cologne Water

I rarely hear anything said about Caswell-Massey’s Sandalwood shave soap, so I decided to try it today. I’m not going to get all gushy about it after just one use, but I will say that the scent was superb and the lather and shave was not bad. Oh, and it comes in a very nice wood bowl.
