    I've not experienced any burn with a tobacco aftershave. Granted, I've only used this one and another (RazoRock Zi'Peppino), but the tobacco element doesn't bother me. Some people have been allergic to tobacco flower if I remember correctly. For what it's worth, this Jeeves Tobacco Bay Leaf aftershave is perhaps my second favorite that I own after Fine American Blend.

    Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
    Brush:- Simpson Chubby 2 Best Badger 27/50mm knot
    Soap/Cream:- Stirling ~ Executive Man
    Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice
    Razor/Blade:- Rockwell Model T #4 / Gillette Nacet #1
    Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
    Fragrance:- Davidoff Cool Water Wave

    Keep in mind guys, way too early for me to give a review of the Model T until I've given more shaves and more time.

    Here's photo below showing you the blade loaded into the Model T, as you can see at each end there's no blade overhang and the hardest part is when I shave across the grain under the nose is not good.
    I have to shave against the grain under my nose which is not my best part of shaving, the Model T head is too big I mean is to curve or round going with the grain under the nose is not very good.

    Well guys, testing out this month for a daily driver! Went with the clog proof today. With Treet blade. Great 2 pass shave, and no irritation at all.
    Plus, good coffee as well . IMG_20190108_133705_105.jpg

    Thanks for the comment - it was one of the options - I really like the looks. It’s actually a very dark brown. The brush continues to get better and better - it was a purchase I’d make again. As anyone who has ordered from Romera knows, patience is not just a virtue, it’s a requirement. :happy097:

    Is that Soap Commander soap new? I looked at a few of the list maybe a couple months ago-don't remember seeing that one.
