Soap - Stirling Iced Pineapple
Brush - Omega 10066
Post - Alum

Ok, boys and girls and all the ships at sea, let's get this month started off around here. Oh wait...you already have!! Well I need to officially join the party so here you go. I decided to go vintage basic with my flare tip Superspeed. It's a 1959 birth year razor and every time I use it I'm reminded of just how good these razors are. No wonder Gillette sold a quadrillion of them. For the blade - I went back to the first blade I ever bought in bulk. The Astra Superior Platinum from Russia. This is still the blade I use for my head shaves. The Super Stainless blade is also out there as some of you have mentioned and shown today, but I prefer the platinum. You can't go wrong with this as a starter/basic blade.

Now, for the soap. I chose to go with Stirling Iced Pineapple because it is MENTHOL MONDAY after all. That, and I actually consider Stirling to be a "basic" soap based on its price. Its performance is way above basic level, which is why the price makes it such an incredible bargain! And, I used my Omega 10066 - the "Brush of Shame" in my den (I broke a no-buy to acquire it). Nothing shameful about how this little boar works though. It's awesome and it's inexpensive.

Loaded up the brush and made a great face lather. Every pass was smooth and effective and I finished with zero irritation, zero blood and a BBS to start the month. Before I leave in the morning I'll dash on some of the Veg to keep it basic and awesome for the day!

Nice start to the month and I hope you have a fantastic Tuesday!

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #340 Badger
AutoStrop VB1
GEM Blue Star SE
CWR
Tabac ASB

The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #340 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop VB1 with a GEM Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 4
RVT The Cabin SS
Fino ASB
Musgo Real Classic AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Except for a small weeper on my chin which was entirely my fault I can’t complain about this shave. This Cabin soap has such a nice scent which I can’t really describe, it lathers like a champ, and it’s very skin friendly. The Fino balm gave me awesome moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Musgo Real aftershave not only smells beautiful, it’s very comfortable on my skin and it doesn’t clash with the Bleu de Chanel. All I did today were two passes and I ended up BBS!

Be safe and healthy!
