The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #466 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Yaqi Adjustable razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 2
Noxzema Lather SC
Prep ASB
Booster Polar Ice AS Splash

My first shave of April and it was so wonderful - this Noxzema cream is so precious to me. Its beautiful old school scent filled the bathroom, the lather buried my face, the menthol sensation felt heavenly, and the postshave feeling was so soothing as comfortable. The Prep smells EXACTLY like the Noxzema and it gives my skin so much moisturizing, cooling care. Finally a couple of splashes of the Polar Ice aftershave and I smell like I just stepped out of a 60s barbershop. Three slow passes gave me such a great BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!

(Face & Head Shave)

Greetings,

A close comfortable face & head shave to start April off on a high note.

Everything in my shave set up paired together superbly. The Yaqi Mellon razor head doesn't seem to be fussy what blade I've
pairing it up with the Voshkod TC is no rule to the exception. A superb non-aggressive combination smooth efficient shaver which is a pleasure to use.

The Nivea Men Originals shave cream never fails to provide me with a super protective slick lather leaving a good post shave feel.

Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

The LGC soap tub is quite attractive.

 

fabulous birthday toggle shave Guy.

 

i will let it know.

 

Thanks Gary..maybe I'll get my first LGC with a discount . Course there's always the possibility I won't.

 

Thanks, likers . Just to add, San Juan Hill is mostly Cuban tobacco...a little stronger than I'd hoped for, but the fact that one of our Presidents is mentioned(Teddy Roosevelt) attracted me to it. TR led soldiers up San Juan Hill in the war against Mexico .
