My first go with the new shaving mug, it pretty good! Not really any different to the mug of water I was using but it looks a lot better and the dish on top is a handy place to keep the brush inbetween passes. Overall a nice close shave but I do find DE razors so very dull to use... As such I can't see me using the Futur many more times before it ends up in the BST
Love the look of that brush buddy.Hot Towel, Wickham 1912 Frankincense, Cadman 26mm Silvertip, Muhle R41, Astra SS (3), Cold Towel
Another good shave with the Frankincense. I still can't figure out the other notes in the scent profile, it's spicy and woody (I want to say cedar, but am probably wrong).

I have quite a few soaps now but I have to say Tabac is rapidly becoming my number one, based on lather quality, ease of getting that lather, how your face feels during and post shave, and the scent of the soap. I agree that the scent is a bit of a marmite situation, but you can't deny the soaps capabilities, maybe my local soft water supply helps but getting a lather out of Tabac in my house is as easy as falling off a log.Friday 30th
Greetings all...
Soap - Tabac Original
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Face lather
Razor - Gillette New OC
Blade - Gillette Nacet #2
Post - Thayer's and Tabac Original a/s
Smooth, close shave with the Gillette combo today; a very efficient performance between blade and razor. 3 passes and minimal touch-up. BBS.
IMHO, Tabac original is one of the very best non-artisan soaps out there. For glide, slickness and protection, it could easily contend as my desert island soap (assuming an abundance of fresh water).
Nicely complemented by the Tabac splash, too.
All the best, everyone,
Stephen.

I have Hard water in my area and it still creates a excellent lather..i totally agree with the post shave feeling..which is superb, i also really like the scent..but that's my opinion.I have quite a few soaps now but I have to say Tabac is rapidly becoming my number one, based on lather quality, ease of getting that lather, how your face feels during and post shave, and the scent of the soap.
