Tabac is a great soap, probably one of the best. Aftershave is a tad too potent for me though.

L'Occitane CADE shaving soap + Kent BK8 Silvertip + Weber Bulldog with Merkur head and Feather #3 + Provence Santé splash + L'Occitane CADE balm

This time a tried this soft and big brush for soaps and facelathering. If you use an easy lathering soap like this one there's no problem! I got enough lather for 4 passes with little effort.

The shave itself was good although I suffered from nicks, something that usually happens when I use this blades unfortunately... nothing that couldn't be solved with some aftershaves & alum anyway

Cheers!
