Tabactober Returns
Yesterday's shave was so good that my razor met little resistance today. I used only two passes, WTG-ATG on my cheeks and only ATG on my neck and the results are outstanding. Very close comfortable shave - fewer passes led to no irritation and very little burn from the splash. I used PAS again as I'm becoming enamored of this scent. The boar felt great again. It's hard to imagine it getting better, but I think it will - this was only the eighth use.
Prep: Chatillon Lux Butter
Soap: Tabac
Brush: Stirling Boar
Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
Blade: voskhod ??
AS: TTFFC Play it Again Sam

Nice set up - what does Play it Again smell like? I tried to track it down on line but not so easy.
Thanks

Ciao,

Quick shave recap. Over loaded on the soap (but this is my largest brush currently). Not sure if the lather feels better on application or in the skin post pass. Razor cuts efficiently against the grain first pass and clears everything else 2nd and 3rd pass. Applying the Manna after the shave is incredible and melts into the skin. Have to finish with SV's best amongst the shaving line.

Have incredible shaves and weekends guys.

Saluti,
