TABAC - you did it, Frankie! What do you think?
Yesterday:
Just a very quick touch up with the Fatboy on 5 and lab blue on its 3rd run out. 1 pass & very nice.
Today:
Shower
BS Maca Root cream
Omega 49
Fatboy [5,5]
Schick Premium [1]
Adidas Pure Game AS
BS Maca Root Face Protector
2 Pass with this Fatboy, leaves nothing left for a 3 pass! Still astounded by this razor!

Yes, I finally took the jump. Had a really nice shave too! Loads of cushiony, thick lather from relatively little product offering excellent post-shave skincare. Performance reminded me a lot of Speick. Opinions seem to be divided when it comes to the scent, but I found it inoffensive and not overbearing. There certainly are more sophisticated smelling soaps around but that won't stop me from using Tabac again. I give it 8/10 as is and would be just about perfect with a better scent.

Technically still San Francisco proper but at the very southern edge of it (so north of Brisbane).

1964 rebranded Macys silvertip flopmeister good with creams
Schick F type/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS 1970)
Xpec SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Jacomo de Jacomo ( a few incarnations old I think)
Yesterday I loaded this great old blade into this perfectly fitting injector and have now had two extremely fun shaves. Jeez, this goofy looking razor had gotta be one of my biggest surprises ever regarding shaving crap. The shaving experience is second to none when it comes to the actual process. How it shaves with a sharp blade, how it feels in my hand, it's looks.....lots going for this 74 year old razor.
BBS results,
Martin

Friday morning:
Feather Artist Club SS & Feather professional blades
Omega 98
Dimitri's Bergamot soap
Floid Suave & 444
I really love this soap. Lathers as easy as Martin de Cantre, offers great protection during shave, with a nice fresh scent. Top choice for aggressive razors like Feather AC SS.

Worked quite hard with MMOC on blade use 4, but ended up with closer shave than the 1914 also on 4. Needed both the Alum & Balm. Will go up to Blade use 5 ,think with my beard any further would get uncomfortable.
