SOTD : Saturday 3rd October to Friday 9th October 2020.

8/10/20

Soap - Tabac Stick
Brush - Zenith Euro X (unbleached boar, 24 mm/ 58 mm)
Razor - Souplex Bakelite
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (1)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
Splash - Akcay Tobacco

I was planning to give my bleached Zenith boar an extended run out, but I didn't quite have the enthusiasm to do this morning and looked to it's unbleached counterpart instead. The Zenith Euro X looks quite similar to it's Omega counterpart (the 10066) in some ways same colour handle but the loft of the Euro X is a few mm's taller and in the shave today it was quite scrubby, great backbone and it's incredibly efficient as well. I loaded about the same amount of soap for yesterday's shave and produced enough lather for 4 passes, whilst yesterday's lather I just about had enough lather for about 2 passes.
The Lancet Super Platinum is a blade I've used once before and for Tabactober I'd test another one to see if I had any intention of buying them in bulk, the last one I remember was on the sharper side of things so I paired the blade with my mildest razor head, the Souplex Bakelite and in the shave it was delightfully smooth and efficient, and I had a very comfortable and close shave.
A great lather and a great shave, really pleased with the results.

A very fine two pass shave this morning accompanied by the wonderful scent of the Magnum shaving soap. All elements of the shave came together to produce a close and comfortable shave. A good start to the day.

Back to #3 for me.

Yesterday's shave with Ach Brito Mogno reminded me so much of TGS Abysso, I thought I'd use Abysso today to gauge the similarity or difference...

Pre-shave: Hot waffle towel | Ach Brito Glyce Lime soap
Shaving soap: TGS Abysso (face lathered)
Brush: Razorock ‘Atomic Rocket' synthetic (First use of my newest brush)
Razor: Barbarossa Brothers gold razor head (thanks @Tony'schin) | Rainbow fibre handle | Gillette Nacet blade
Post-shave: Cold waffle towel | Alum | Cold water rinse | Dry waffle towel | TGS Abysso AS splash

Overall: A very similar sensory experience to yesterday's shave, so thoroughly enjoyable. I do find the Abysso and Mogno soaps similar in scent and performance so, for me, the Mogno wins out simply because of its price.

Yet another superb Razorock synthetic brush and a very cool traditional design.

The Barbarossa Brothers razor head was comparable to the EJDE89, maybe a tad more aggressive but not uncomfortably so. Also …it's gold ffs!…what's not to like?

Have a great evening all (y) ;):)

The thanks should go to @Boycie83 who originally PIF'd it to me.
Looks good on that handle, I would not have gotten around to using it.
Glad it worked well.
