Monday evening's shave brought to you curtesy of the the theme, 'Simple shave for a simple man'

Simply the best - Muhle R89 (ATT Colossus)
Simply sharp - Feather
Simple brush - Yaqi Moka
Simply soaperb - Captain Fawcett's
Simple and the pie man - Pure moisturiser


'Set your controls for the heart of the shave'

Not my favourite brush but it does a pretty decent job with a hard soap. In this case the pretty damn fine Fawcett's, a soap I swear @pjgh would love. Hard as Buggery and lanolinised (doubt the word exists but who cares? I don't). Give the brush anything else other than hard and a wire brush might be more comfortable.

All in all a great shave though and a very welcome one at the end of a working day.

So good I feel it is only right to award you all with some Beaver......

Great shave this morning, wonderfully smooth and irritation free. Looking forward to the end of the month to use a different scented soap and splash, but saying that it's been a joy to use!

Hope everyone has a grand day.

Cheers

I thought i'd start up my weekly shaves again, therefore, Tabac Tuesday it is - for now.
The Masamune head is right up my street, very comfortable and efficient enough for my stubble type. I am also getting used to the longer handle just changing my grip ti suit. I really like this razor / blade combo.
The Yaqi Sagrada Familia is a crackin' little brush and whipped up vast amounts of beautiful lather, enough for a 3 pass shave which i took advantage of WTG, ATG then a pick-up pass XTG for an easy, comfortable BBS finish.
A nice post shave routine finishing off my 1st tube of Vintage Tabac Black, i have 2 left.
I am a fan of the traditional Tabac scent. Spot on that.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
 
PXL_20230221_113448914.jpgA decent shave, this time with the second use of a vintage English London Bridge blade. A good smooth shave and quite sharp.
Enjoying day 2 of the Arko with aftershave soap.
Still not overly impressed with the Wars Fresh aftershave; find the Classic smells great and is a much stronger scent.

This soap and matching splash smell very good and the lather is just superb...whip-up to perfection by the wonderful boar brush!! This razor's edge is just where I like it...buttery smoothness and keenness! Perfect! 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

I really like this razor, good thing considering it’s one the most expensive razors that I own. A close and comfortable two pass shave this morning. The Cadman brush is fantastic, as is the SV soap and aftershave lotion.
