Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #397
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
Tabac ASB

The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #397 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the RazoRock Black Hawk with a Feather Professional blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Happy Birthday!

 

IKON “EL Jefe”
Schick Proline

Crisp, cool spring morning shave. The El Jefe & Prada delivered in spades.
A great day and wonderful shaves to all...​

 

Tuesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 4
Southern Witchcrafts Lavender SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Sir Canada Cedar AS Splash
Aramis EdT

This Southern Witchcrafts soap has the gorgeous lavender scent I ever experienced - it’s so classy and old school at the same time, the lather is a pleasure to work up - man, is it ever rich, thick, as well as slick, and it has a very calming, soothing sensation which leaves my skin feeling great. The Bull Dog moisturizer is absolutely fantastic - just a little dab’ll do ya, and the Canada Cedar aftershave gave me a hell of a sting for a second but then it felt wonderful - its scent is lovely but it doesn’t interfere with the Aramis. Except for a tiny weeper on my mustache area this was a cracker of a shave!

Stay healthy and safe!

I'm sorry I don't understand the question. If you're asking if/when this will be released, I can't say with certainty. The artisan is likely to make subtle changes in the fragrance. Additionally, the label, while beautiful as is, was only done by him with his local set-up for the few tester tubs he distributed. When it's ready for release, he'll use professional labels.[/QUOTE]

Sorry for my English...

Just interested in taking over the dragon's task!

I believe that our rulers take advantage of their privileges: why in Rome it's grey and drizzling and here the sun is shining?
I'm a citizen who pays taxes (and many other things...): don't I have the right to have a decent weather?

I do a lot of nonsense, like paying absurd amounts of money to buy latherers like the one I used today.

Great performance, dermo-libidinous texture, but a gnuf fragrance, a non-fragrance, more a Mediterranean than a Scandinavian one. A Scandinavian fragrance should have scents of sea, of stinging cold, smoked herrings, right?

And I used too little of it.
Result? Absence of watery lather which, however, the endemic glide has made up for very well.
Excellent shaving, but very little satisfaction especially from a olfactory point of view.

When I picked it up (with a soap spoon stolen from a bar in the Place des Lices at Saint Tropez, risking jail) seemed to me enough. Instead it was too little.
I will try to remember it for the future use of the samples that I have to finish.

It was also hard to find an EdT that had an olfactory continuity, but, anyway, there wasn't much fragrance to continue with.

A positive note: the soundtrack. Perfectly in tune with the pogonotomic liturgy!
