SOS: May 2025

Menthol Monday’s Frigid Announcement:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 6
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

Wow, am I ever frozen to the max after using this setup - the Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave are so beautifully scented. The soap is such a pleasure to lather, it’s so slick, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of icy bricks, and it’s so gentle on my skin. The Stoffel balm from Bundubeard is also plenty frigid and it’s so soothing. Finally the Glacial Cedar aftershave laid another coating of icicles in my face. Three passes worked their magic and gave me a tip top BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Great pairing all the way around

 

Years ago I got it with some Old Spice related purchase I made. It was paired with something, maybe a mug I have? Somehow, I’ve had it for all long time now and just getting around to using now. It turns out it’s a pretty decent brush

Greetings,

Early morning face & head shave,

Maiden outing with the WS sensitive shave soap which provided me with slick acceptable lather and is equal in performance to the black & blue tubs the only difference is the the sensitive version has a clean Aloe Vera scent. Out of the three versions the black has the best scent, but for post shave feel, which is remarkably good out shines both of the other versions.

What is important the soap had no drying out issues or dissipating when I lathered on to my face & head. All of the three I've tried are fit for purpose, It's not the best of shaving soaps granted, but for a inexpensive high street/chemist bought shave soap it provides an acceptable slick lather. what more is needed, It's another winner for me.

A close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off a with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

My Tabac Tuesday experience:

Hot shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 7
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

The more I use Tabac the more I LOVE it - that old school scent is such a delight, (Madame doesn’t care for it!) the bath soap feels like washing yourself with a block of moisturizer, the shaving soap lathers so beautifully, it gives such awesome slickness, and it leaves my skin feeling well protected against dryness or irritation. The Lubriderm moisturizer works so well as a balm, and finally the Tabac aftershave followed by the cologne left me smelling TEE RIFFIK. Three passes gave me a most pleasurable BBS that was so easy!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #222 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Torqued Slant Razor by Tom and the Gillette Nacet Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thank you Achee!

 

Not sure if this counts; I waxed my underarms today. I don't do it all that often, but in the warmer months it makes like a bit easier.

No nicks, weepers, or razor burn.
This razor is very efficient for me. There's not much leeway for being casually inattentive. It gives a very good shave.
