    Cold Water Wash
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #353
    Damaskeene 1912
    Gem Damaskeene SE
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #353 Badger/Boar brush. I did two passes with the Damaskeene 1912 razor with a Gem Damaskeene SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Shave of the Day 12/Feb/2019



    Today's shave is kind go grabbed between travel trips. I came to India thinking I was staying 3 days and I packed a straight just for the hell of it. When I got here the plans changed and I am only staying one day and then I am off to Korea tomorrow. So it is a quick shave and then pack up again ready for the flight. This is an unusual shave fro me in that I am using a synthetic knot - this is the FIRST time in two years of proper shaving that I have used a synthetic. So why not go big eh?

    The Brush

    This is called “The King” or the “King of Chub”. The brush is a doorstop, designed by my own good hands and machined to sheeny perfection. It stands about 50mm tall and is 47mm wide at the widest point. A true stubby chubby. The knot is a 30mm, yes you read that right, a 30mm synthetic set just deep enough to give is a whole lot of back bone.

    The Razor

    El Capitaine from Art razor in Ukraine. This is a beast of a razor with a fantastic edge, Yuri over at Art Razor sure knows what he is doing - if you have not got an Art Razor then get one… This one is an 8/8” near wedge and again is is AWESOME. Swedish carbon steel, great scales and perfectly polished.

    The soap

    The second one in my stable from Crows Nest - Tortuga which means tortoise in Spanish apparently. The flavour notes for this soap are:

    “Safe haven of dangerous, boisterous, drunken, and bawdy. Tortuga is pirate heaven, now make it yours.
    The captains private blend of cuban tobacco, amber, spices, cherry, and clove”

    It is the amber and the cherry that particularly appeal to me here and it is a rich cherry cake smell. I love it. It lather great after a short bloom, 40-60 seconds tip loading and 2-3 minutes whipping up.

    Please please PLEASE Crows nest start making soap again - we need the Jack Daw!!

    Other gear

    Van Yulay blue resin bowl, Waterhouse knives wide strop and Proraso white preshave

    Altogether and awesome three pass and clean up. Followed by my new favourite, St. John’s Bay Rum


    Regards

    It's quite possible my next freezer soap will be one named Frosty, too....but not the one you have.

    Getting your MWF leads to a shipping delay, as it comes from England, right?

    No, many US vendors sell it. It is easy to get here.
