DFS achieved, smooth with no irritation
First time I've used Tabac (I know can't believe it myself )
the soap produced a superb lather and I like the scent.
My new Tabac stick was a gift from Paul, AKA (@Blademonkey)
Thanks Paul, very generous indeed !!
HAVE A GOOD DAY FELLAS

Greetings,
Every shave of which i've had since i started DE shaving with palmolive shave sticks has never failed to provide a rich slick protective lather, and a wonderful post shave feeling to the face. Today was no exception..
My R89/Shark S.S. was another excellent duo,a wonderful mid-aggressive smooth performance,resulting in a 3 pass + pick ups silky shave with no errors to report yet again...
In the passed i've had a few weepers with the Shark SS blades, but since i started to hand strop them before shaving , it's taken off any hidden burrs.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy your day,ladies & gentlemen.
If it works it's all good!Whether it constitutes alchemy or perversion I'll leave to others to figure out but the 1914/3M taped Feather AC creature gave one of the best head shaves I've had. LA Shaving Soap SM Bay Rum + Coates Lime = a nice Daquiri. Preshave oil back in the routine. Don't judge.

Well thank you sir...It's what i call a humble set, but works for me excellently.That looks a dam fine set-up!
Well I emailed Bruno.Would definitely be interested. Have dealt with Bruno frequently in the past and actually got a Caravella (along with many other brushes )from him.
This bathroom looks the biz, would make an awesome shave den! The counter goes on for miles!I've not posted here for last week or so due to a punishing work trip/schedule and lack of shaves. I am now back home and catching up on sleep.
My last shave was interesting not so much for the shave itself, but the location; a hotel room on the 44th floor of the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai, apparently the tallest hotel in the world. Impressive - the bathroom of my room was about the size of the entire hotel room in some other joints I've shacked up in.
Pre: Hot shower; Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Cream: Kapo Fresh
Razor: Horror no-name twin blade disposable
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
Balm : Argo Neo Gold
EDP: APR Aqua Di Sydney
A luggage mishap robbed me of the ability to access blades for my DE travel razor (Wilkie Sticky). What a shock to use a dodgy disposable razor - I'm usually armed with a half-decent unit like a Fusion to ease the pain somewhat. The tugging was savage, and to effectively remove stubble, I had to apply significant pressure and "dig in". Applying such technique with, for example, my ATT H2, would have every vampire within 100km flocking to my window.
The Kapo Fresh cream again performed well, and the Myrsol emulsion eased things a little and minimized post-shave irritation.
Most importantly, I was clean-shaven and refreshed before embarking on the long-haul flight home to Perth.
