    Tabacstag!
    Another amazing Tabac shave. Super slick lather starting with a damp HIS lather monster. My SC101 made smooth, easy work of my stubble. My face feels great. Synergy Bay Rum Aftershave Tonic is an excellent product, and it pairs well with Tabac cologne.

    Prep: RR/HTGAM lime menthol
    Soap: Tabac!
    Brush: HIS lather monster
    Razor: iKon ShaveCraft 101
    Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
    AS: Synergy Bay Rum Tonic
    EdC: Tabac!

    No change from yesterday but I am surprised how enjoyable it has been the last two days bowl lathering. I am going to try my nest set up with the salsa bowl, will probably like that better.

    Razor: Wester Bros no 16 1/4 hollow + ER 1924
    Blade: GEM
    Brush: Muhle Black Fiber Synthethic
    Lather: Mitchell's Wool Fat
    Post: Pinaud

    I had a better shave today. No tugging from the straight. On my chin it needs to be held completely flat otherwise it will scrape and tug awfully. I got cut on my cheek. The blade has a nick at the point so it left not a slice but a little hole there.

    One more problem. When using the straight flat it seems to just glide and not cut. Maybe MWF has TOO much cushion...

    Finished up with the '24 using a single WTG pass.

    Wow! ymmv. I only have vintage razors, having tried and been unimpressed with new ones. I have everything from a 1920's Gillette Old Type to a 1960's era Schick Krona. Love them all.
