Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Tom's B400 Two-band Badger
Bunny V3 Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Tom's B400 Two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Bunny V3 Injector Razor and a Supply Black Label Blade Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

DE SOTD, Tuesday August 8th 2023

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar 316 SSP slant with a modified Micromatic handle- Mfg 2017- 2022, mid to upper mid range, excellent machining and finish QC. The best way to shave with the Wunder bar is a light touch, Steep angle(ride the bar) with a short handle for less weight and leverage and a person will get some of the best shaves ever without issues has been my conclusion. Had a wonderful shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gillette 7 oClock SP(1) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity. Top tier of 5 top blades in my shave den.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, nice scent(Aramis) with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites.
Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard knot, excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very enjoyable brush to use and not a lather hog.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Witch hazel beard soap residual cleanse +Yaqi Musketeer rapier AS + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a Wunderful close comfortable shave with my RR Wunder bar slant with a fresh Gillette 7 oClock Sp blade. It does not get much better a shave for myself!


Have some great shaves!

 

Correction-"Latigo" is the actual name Fine has for their Knize 10 dupe.

 

All I know about Knize 10 is that it is made in Austria and has a good reputation and a masculine scent.

 

It's chief feature is leather-but a "calmer" leather than Russian or what you might smell from cowboys here. I like both kinds.
