    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    The Brush B-3 by Tom
    Gillette Red and Black OT by Tom
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Red and Black OT by Tom with an Astra SP gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Tuesday morning:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Minora day 14
    Williams Menthol SC
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Sport AS Splash

    Lately I’ve been using stuff that’s been sitting around in my house for a very long time. The Williams Menthol cream is so good - it’s either from France or Holland, it’s got a lovely scent, all you need is one small dab on your chin and the lather becomes so thick, and rich, it’s got good slickness, the menthol sensation is medium strength, and the postshave feeling is excellent. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Sport aftershave completed the job beautifully. The Minora blade definitely needs to be changed for tomorrow but it gave me one last hoorah with a terrific BBS shave!

    Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

    As a kid, I had Yardley "Soap On A Rope" for my showers, but there was no "shaving" to its name.

    Depends on who you talk to, Paul! I think it smells more authentic. You can buy it at smallflower.
