Tabac shaving stick

I am impressed with the performance of the Tabac but lathered I really don't like the smell. I've left the lid off in the hope the smell diminishes a bit (a lot?).

Hey buddy, I got the answer,

Use the Arko stick along with it!!!! Now that would be yummy.

Hot shower,
Proraso pre shave
EJ Shaving Cream
Red tip
Gillette Platinum
Alum block
GFT Lime skin food.

BBS, awesome.
One tiny tiny nick above the lip but gone with a rinse and not reopened.

No children or Mrs do help with a good shave as the concentration is where it should be!

Wasn't disappointed with the SFH shaving soap. Great smell and lathered easily. Good slickness and cushion.

Cheap (in the UK), easy to lather, good slickness and cushion and I left the lather on a bit longer today and it didn't dry out much at all (very dry air indoors). No fancy packaging to pay for. Well worth of if you get cheap shipping

The smells are really good, too.
 
Friday

Gillette NEW
Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge Blade
Edwin Jagger Silvertip
Proraso Pre-Shave (the new, sensitive one)
Scent From Heaven Lime Soap
Thayer's Witch Hazel

Nice.

SFH Issey Miyake-style shaving soap
Fatboy on 6, 4, 9 with Astra Superior Platinum
Henk silvertip walnut brush
SFH Lacostye-style aftershave balm

Haven't used this blade for a while. Wasn't disappointed. To get close under the jaw I dialled up to 9 and with a very creful touch I got BBS on most of it. There were a few very mild weepers there which disappeared after a splash of water and no soreness. Great result.
 
SFH is Scent From Heaven, an online store based in Wales I've recently started using. They do quite a range of toiletry stuff and I've ordered twice from there. They do a wide selection of fragrances and I've been using their 'smells like' designer recreations in shaving soap, EDT, shampoo bar, shower gel and aftershave balm. I've tried six now and they're a very good likeness and very cheap. I'm not going to plug them too much!

If I'm using my phone it corrects my input of "SFH" to "Scent from Heaven" but right now I'm using a PC.
