I've already tried a sample so I ordered the bowl too. And a bottle of Tabac AS. Had to get them from different suppliers. Connaught Shaving had the best price on the soap but their 'cross the pond shipping on the alcohol based AS was prohibitive, so I got it CONUS.
very cool..i am actually looking forward to trying out the fat..tabac aftershave is nice stuff as well..
I got the Tabac AS in part from seeing you use it often. Old school is cool! Might try Joseph's @Primotenore tobacco infusion method on it. Tapatalk Spam Tag
There's a full write up. Basically wrapping the new puck in pipe tobacco and waiting. Later removing the tobacco and enjoying the added scent. I think he used Cavendish that could give a vanilla flavor. Tapatalk Spam Tag
so recap, karve 3 inch brass handle,mitchell's wool fat refill puck,20 personna ptfe injector blades,stirling sandpiper soap and splash..
That's gorgeous. It looks like something a viking might use. Love the colors and design. I love their lather bowls. And I'm waiting on a 100 pack of Polsilver SI blades.
I can officially get excited now. I'm #8 on the list for a Wolf Whiskers brush. I filled out the order form and now I'm waiting to get pics for approval and pay for it. I chose a badger (28mm). As soon as this one is delivered, I'm going to get on the list again for one with a synthetic knot.
Ugh. I should have staggered my current incoming packages. Two CONUS that seem to experiencing unapologetic USPS delays, and one from across the pond that I didn't pay the extra for tracking. Going to hold off on a Tabac lather until the AS gets here from near N.Jersey. Won't do a MWF lather until that boat docks and hands off to the USPS. The one from Indiana is a mystery... and should have arrived yesterday. You got me wondering Joseph @Primotenore. The added delayed gratification is excruciating! Did the Green Pinaud Special Reserve arrive in good order, and compare to the Red?
I’m currently waiting on this Leresche # 61 razor I bought from eBay. I also ordered a Leresche # 34 razor from Etsy.
