    Tabac Tuesday

    • Prep: Hot Shower - Preshave
    • Brush: Zenith /r/Wetshaving MOAR Boar 🐗
    • Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing, gold
    • Blade: GEM - PTFE (6)
    • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original Soap
    • Post Shave: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac AS Lotion

    Ahhh, with the wife out of town, enjoying a good time in London, I’m here slathering myself with Tabac and reveling in the Glorious Stank. It was great breaking into the king size bottle of the splash this morning, which was purchased right before the wife decided to tell me that she hates this scent. Oh well, such is life.

    Tabac + coffee= righteous Tuesday morning. Have a great day all

    • Lather: Sweyn Forkbeard Mango & Papaya Cream
    • Brush: AP Shave Co G5C 24mm
    • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable
    • Blade: Derby Extra (1)

    The only thing that was new to me on this shave is the blade, so I’ll write a bit about that. I’ve avoided the Derby Extra because of the mixed but generally somewhat negative talk I’ve seen about it. But today I decided to try it. My conclusion? Not particularly sharp, left some more stubble on my face than others, but smooth on on the parts of my face which don’t have the thickest hairs and a little tuggy on the thicker parts. So it wasn’t the most pleasant or effective for me, but for someone with thinner hair who shaves daily I think it might be quite good. Perhaps that explains why some love it and some hate it (like marmite).

    Edit: Oops, wrong date.

    • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving 31mm x 57mm Moar Boar
    • Razor: Koraat 7/8" Near Wedge Spanish Point (Straight Shave 257)
    • Lather: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac - Soap
    • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner
    • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Eau de Toilette

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    Today’s shave was excellent more for the experience than for closeness. I purposely dialed in a mild shave because these 3-pass shaves I’ve been doing need more than 24 hours for my beard to properly fill in. This pushes my shaving time from early morning to mid-afternoon. So, I needed to get back on track.

    Nonetheless, this razor has that feeling of inevitability – it will cut – and the perfection of the Tabac Trifecta cannot be denied.

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. 26mm G5C
    • Razor: Blackland Vector SS
    • Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild (AC) (13)
    • Lather: Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
    • Post Shave: Declaration Grooming – Yuzu/Rose/Patchouli
    • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Rose Santal

    This is one of the very first soaps that I bought, and when I started I really struggled with it. Decided to give it a go today and was much more successful with some knowledge. Could probably still stand some more water, but very comfortable shave.
