Terrific tabac...working with the nice brush produces some super creamy and slick lather. The scent is errmmm ok...better than no scent.
Shave with razor paired with this blade was good. Generally smooth and comfortable. Can feel it is sharpish but however not as good as Elios, Tatra, Wizamet or Polsilver. Let's see how for next 2-3 shaves. 3 multiple direction passes with no issues. More BBS to DFS result. Postshave and aftershave was fantastic. Rating today 9.6/10
Sidenote: Somehow I find this slant to be more smoother, comfortable and efficient than the Parker SemiSlant and including the GC.84 SB.

Greetings,

Recently I've been having some fantastic shaves with DE blades that I have hardly gave any attention to...The Treet Dura Sharp paired together with the R41 resulted in a BBS 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.

The third pass today wasn't required, my face was near bbs on the second pass after a quick pick up pass my face was BBS smooth.

An excellent very efficient comfortable smooth shave.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Tabac Stick
ER 1912- ex Bathroom Set
Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Tabac A/S Lotion

Amongst the 1912s that I have used this is my firm favourite, as it has been designed to fit the current Gem blade. A downside for some but not for me, is the fact that the rasping noise during a Shave has been eliminated. The Shave even with a fresh blade is very smooth yet effective, and I had no problems getting an excellent close all round finish.

I can't believe it is September already. The year has flown by....and not much to show for it. I will soon be hunting out my Autumn and Winter scents.
Another excellent shave with the Eco and I think I can safely say that it has been promoted from the drawer of shame.

Tabac Tuesday

Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Razorock Bruce 24mm
Razor - MÜHLE R89
Blade - Wilkinson (1)
Post - Saponificio Varesino AS - Cubebe (sample)

I decided I would remove the seal from my tub of tabac and join the Tabac Tuesday club. It's been sat in my drawer since May. I've been considering Tabac for ten years, never purchased it, just incase I didn't like the scent. However, one of my sisters ex boyfriends always wore Tabac, I remember liking it. I was convinced to buy not after seeing one of @chard52142 pictures with his mr whippy lather from Tabac. That was back in March. First use for me. It lathered really well. So well, that I think the TOBS soap I'd been struggling with may be down to the soap and not the user. I had lather everywhere, I looked like a rabid dog and still couldn't replicate chard's mr whippy picture. I could've added more water, but it was just dropping off the brush. I'll try this soap next week with my preferred badger brush. A nice comfortable shave with two and half passes.

1/9/20

Soap - MWF
Brush - Yaqi Faux Horse knot/ Rainbow Handle
Razor - Gillette New OC
Blade - Voskhod (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Signature Soaps A Danum Splash

First shave of the new month, most of the year's behind us and what a strange old year it has been so far. I really hope some kind of normality can return at sometime later this year.

Now onto the shave....

I've not really used my Gillette New since acquiring it and in the shave today, I found it performed quite a bit like the Old Type I own, maybe a touch more efficient but like the OT I found it's a razor that's very dependent on finding exactly the right angle. Maybe the razor could have been paired with a slightly sharper blade as well but I managed to get good results in 2.5 passes though. Finished the shave with the SS Danum splash, it really does feel great on my skin, nice scent as well.

Anyway chaps, I hope you have a good day and start to the month.
