"Tell me why, I do like Fridays.. I wanna scent the whole day down (of Tabac)"

Lovely, lovely Tabac.

I do Tabac Fridays, too. I started last night with a Tabac shave (I'm an evening shaver) and so with just the faintest whiff upon waking, I bolster it with a damn good spray of EDT and go about my excellent Friday.

Have a cracking day, yourself

Friday xxx, May 2014

Prep: Hot shower, Dove Men+Care Revitalising Face Wash
Pre: Cold water splash, Proraso Crema Pre Barba Green
Brush: Vulfix Boar Brute
Soap: QCS Vetiver
Razor: Valet VC3
Blade: Feather FHS-5 Hi Stainless #3
Post: Guerlain Vetiver ASL, Guerlain Vetiver Soothing After Shave Gel

Result: A great team; a week of great shaves. The Guerlain Vetiver range is very good - lovely scent and good skin care properties. The Feather SE is a pleasure to use - very sharp and super smooth. Now to select next week's gang.

All the best guys,

Jon

Whats the blurred line across the pic? I thought there were teeth missing from the razor for a minute.

That's me messing around (and failing) with a blemish removal tool....

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:


vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
1972 SH Super Adjustable/Iridium
Xpec SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT

Really enjoying this razor/blade combo (4th shave). It's a set up I could use every day if needed. I much prefer this over a Slim, even though the shave is similar. Feels better in my hand for sure.

BBS results,

Martin

Three pass shave with couple of weepers & neck irritation, always surprising how a blade is smooth in one razor and rough in another.
