I never tried Bill Neumann’s version so I have no idea what it’s like. This one is lethally cold.

Remember, it's Wm. Neumann&Co. Bill Neumann is my silly name for the company. I haven't tried it either, but the description and some reviews lead me to what I said,

 

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #437
Schick M Adjustable
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M Adjustable Razor and a Supply Black Label Blade Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Derby day 9
Bundubeard Sanga Symphony SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
Max Disinfecting AS Splash

Wow, it’s been ages since I last used the Sanga Symphony soap so I decided to go with it this morning. My dear brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa sure knows what he’s doing - this soap has a lovely scent, it’s tallow based so it gives tons of great lather with plenty of slickness, and such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria smells beautiful and once the sting wears off it feels so good on my skin. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave - this Junjie is a relatively mild DE but it performs like a champ.

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe.

Well, that was brave of you-Skin Bracer in January. It isn't like you used Osage Rub, but there still is some menthol in the persuasion.(course we know that).

 

Soon, I'll be looking for a new Barbershop soap.
