Well done and your head of lather is delicious looking......and yes Tabac lather is fantastic! So you are ok with the scent too yah...hahahaTabac Tuesday
I can't believe I've put off buying Tabac for near on ten years. This stuff is amazing. It loads easily and builds a fantastic lather. Of course, you already knew that. Today was a nice two and half pass shave, leaving a fresh feeling smooth face.
I do like the scent as well. It's scores in all categories.Well done and your head of lather is delicious looking......and yes Tabac lather is fantastic! So you are ok with the scent too yah...hahaha
Today is 'Battle of Britain' Day - the 80th Anniversary...
Mission Report of Flight Officer Eggles pre-flight shave...it had to be a good one as it could have been his last!
We scrambled at 16.00 hours to intercept bogeys at angels five-six ((that's) not 56,000 feet but at about chin height)
Flight prep: I was in for some hot water but managed to cover up my nerves with the usual flannel
Chocks away: Using all the power of the PAA Starcraft engine, I was able to turn my P&B Spitfire into a cloud pretty darn quickly. With the fighter wing spread out evenly it took just a couple of sorties to wipe out multiple bogeys. Our Tech was clearly superior to the enemy's.
Debrief: I completed my flight checks with Wing Commander Alum, and then followed this with a cold shower and one or two brandies in the mess.

Of course, RAF pilots were not issued with Gillette Tech razors in WW2 - they were for the US forces. Here's an interesting bit I found online:
In 1942 the War Production Board ordered Gillette to dedicate its entire razor production and most blade production to the U.S. military. By the end of the war, servicemen had been issued 12.5 million razors and 1.5 billion blades. Gillette also assisted the U.S. Army in military intelligence by producing copies of German razor blades for secret agents venturing behind German lines so that their identities wouldn't be compromised by their shaving equipment. The company also manufactured razors that concealed money and escape maps in their handles, and magnetic double-edge blades that prisoners of war could use as a compass.
…Mmmm…even better than a Rex then!
As I post this, I am sipping on that brandy and paying my own quiet respects to ‘The Few'.
Have a great day all
