    Tabac Tuesday's Shave
    [​IMG]


    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shaving Soap
    Tom's 3D Printed Brush
    Valet VC4
    Valet AutoStrop (27)
    Enders Speed Shaver
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shaving Soap face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did one pass with the Valet VC4 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade with poor results. I switched over to my Enders Speed Shaver with a Personna blade and ended with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    The AutoStrop Challenge has ended for me with 27 shaves; the last two of which needed an assist. I will be continuing with the Enders for the next three shaves. The AutoStrop Challenge was fun and interesting, but it was beginning to get old. I am glad to finish the challenge. Moving on...

    75776850-25A4-4DC0-8621-C44B9323D3E0.jpeg Tuesday morning:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Gillette day 2
    Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Hey, I have to keep cool somehow, right? This is a perfect setup to do so. The Kameelperd’s powerful Stirling Glacial-like menthol sensation took hold as soon as I started lathering up and it got progressively stronger throughout the shave. My eyes started tearing and by the end of the first pass they were almost shut so I had to rinse my face and wipe my eyes before I could continue. I can’t even begin to explain how cold the second and third passes were - but did I ever enjoy it. The Prep, as always gave me great postshave attention and the Alcolado Glacial felt heavenly. Smooth as silk and ready for my golf game!

    A976732D-EAA4-4A22-893D-FA5F1FD6C78A.jpeg So I so thoroughly enjoyed the iKon X3 slant last time out I reached for it again this morning. Quite glad I did because that smooth initial shave was readily at hand again today. Smooth shaver indeed. Again, I used the Super-Max Blue Diamond and it was quite comfortable in this razor.

    Soap of the day Barrister and Mann Tuesday (yes, I know)...just something so apropos about the wonderful smell of lavender and violet on a sunny Tuesday morning in the Summer. Love the soap, performance and scent. The APS Shave Co 24mm Silk Smoke worked its lather voodoo nicely. Quiet soft with good backbone this one.

    Set about the shave and decided on a simple two pass shave vs my normal routine of three. With the grain and against. Again, a BBS finish with one less pass. The X3 is now King of my slants.

    Take care and happy shaves all.
