What did we learn from our last shaves?

[Godfather]

Tabac is really the only one of the old good & cheap scents that wasn't considered naff and sad in the 80s.90s. Long before wet shaving, it was my favourite aftershave, and remains so. - tho' I don't actually wear it that often, I wonder why? If you don't like lavender, you won't like Tabac.

Today was the first time using Tabac soap and I was impressed!

I haven't tried lavender scented soap yet, it's on the ever expanding list.

21mm is the perfect knot-size for me... Phew, that's gonna save me a fortune.

To ensure a pressure free shave from your razor, it is advantageous to dislocate ones little finger just before. You will be unable to put any pressure on the razor and you'll be astonished at the result!

Old injury came back to haunt me, at 90° the wrong way. Never swore once, quite proud of myself!

It doesn't really show in this photo but this morning was the first time I really started to see some 'personalized patina' showing on my Blackland Blackbird.
I like it.

That a Gillette Flat Bottom Tech (narrow handle) with a good, new blade still delivers an excellent shave.

I need practice, practice, practice!
Still not as smooth as I would like.

4 shaves is my limit for EU Wilkie blades... Jeez, you would have thought at less than 10p a pop I swap them out after 3-4 shaves rather than keep the for that 5, 6 or 7th shave.

My own laziness amazes me at times!

I decided to try out the travel shave gear, a wilkinson sword classic and the kent infinity silvertex. Whereas the Wilkinson sword classic did an adequate job, i cant say the say same for the kent what a terrible brush cant believe kent put their name to it. I learned that the brush will never be used again

I'm never using my Gold Dollar again, until I'm competent enough to hone it myself.

It may click in time, I'll stick at it for now. If Tabac made an unscented soap it wouldn't be a problem.

You don't choose Tabac. Tabac chooses you!

 

[chrisbd]

You don't choose Tabac. Tabac chooses you!

In that case I'm clearly not worthy.

That the Gillette Guard really delivers an excellent shave and is now my yardstick against which all razors are measured.

You don't choose Tabac. Tabac chooses you!

In that case I'm clearly not worthy.

There's a limit to the number of Tabacers at any given time. It's a fixed number. Try it again in a month, two months, a year ... you'll get in. You will. Once chosen, you'll get it. You'll really get it and then there'll be no going back - you'll be a Tabacer.

That picking up my Mongoose again after a few weeks of the Barbaros was a very good decision. I've have some wonderful shaves this week with the Mongoose/Feather Super combo.
