Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #30 Silvertip
Gillette New Improved
Astra SP
CWR
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Improved with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tabac~~dubl duck #4~~Heljestrand MK32~~Ambre Loup by Rania J.
Have a great day!​

 

Tuesday morning:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 7
Hamol SC
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

This Hamol cream is from Syria and I think it’s absolutely fantastic. Syrian barbers were using it to shave their customers and before the fighting over there started it was the most popular cream in the country. It smells so old school and barbershoppy the way I like, just a small dab on both cheeks gives such thick, rich, slick lather, there’s a pleasant menthol cooling to it, and the skincare is so soothing. The Prep and the Aqua Velva aftershave finished the job superbly. Smoother than silk from three passes!

Have a good day - be well and safe!

serif; font-size: 15px; cursor: pointer;"> Henry Gaisman who controlled Valet Auto-strop also controlled Gillette Mfg in the 1930's over a patent dispute, also a person who invented and had 100's of patents on his creations.

Razor: Valet auto-strop, C1 mode, Canadian variant- Mfg 1920's, modified blade gab from 11/1000 to 7/1000 of a inch to smooth the shave with the Gem Personna SS PTFE, great shaves, interesting and well built for its day, blade keepers are the weakest point of the whole razor. 100's of thousands of these razors where sold world wide.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(2) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with sandal wood-nice bayrum scent with a some clove + good lather qualities. I load from bowl and apply drier and add a little water as needed seems to work.
Brush: Yaqi 22mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, soft pillow like tips, excellent scrubber + good lather painter. It is designed more for a good scrubber this model IMO.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Witch hazel, Ogallala Bayrum with Sandal wood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer balm.(scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Valet auto-strop with a coated gem blade.


Have some great shaves!
