Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #4 2-band Badger
Henson Clone Safety Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #4 Two-band Badger Brush. Two Passes and touch ups with the Henson Clone Safety 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...

 

Tabac Tuesday:

Long hot shower with Tabac bath soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 2
Tabac Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

Ah, the joy of wetshaving - there’s nothing like the beautiful old school scent of Tabac in the shower and when you’re lathering up - do I ever LOVE it. I had tons of thick, rich, mega slick lather from this 15 year old tallow Tabac stick and the postshave feeling was so soothing as well as comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer performs so well as a balm, the Tabac deodorant spray added some more of that awesome scent, and finally the Tabac aftershave felt so wonderful. Three passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave that was so easy.

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Thank you Lantzman! I'm really loving the Fat and will use it at least through the end of December.

 

Terrific shave Jeff!!
Even though I'm loving MWF, Tabac will always have a place in my den.

Today I went with the Cx-Gorgon and with Hendrix Classics new release Mysterious.

This is the prettiest of my Carbon Cx’s. Of all three Gorgon that put her closest to Medusa. Damtanium in this absolutely amazing blue. I have this equipped with a ++ plate and as always it provides my favorite shave! This is it folks. The is the razor I’d take with me if I could only take one. It’s why I own more than a few.

Mysterious is an absolute banger of a scent! A take on Baccarat 540. Soft, woody, slightly nutty with a slight musk. Very nice indeed! As always Pete knows a thing or two about scents.

An awesome shave was had. I hope yours are as good!

I'd like to say that I've thoroughly enjoyed participating in this forum! I'm sorry to see it close down but the positive for me is that I've made some really good friends and I'm sure we'll reconnect on another forum. This will be my final post at TSD. Take care everyone!

Best wishes to all!
