Aftershave: Tabac Original

It's been a minute since I've used the wonderful Tabac soap and aftershave. I think its been since Tabactober if I'm not mistaken. That is far too long to go without using this divine product. Either way, I used it today.

In preparation for my shave, I used some always great Gold & Glowing Raw Honey Cleanser foaming face wash from Topsy Blends. This stuff cleans my face so well and smells good too.

I pulled out my Van Der Hagen Pure Badger "Scritch Monster" for some nice exfoliation, and because it's BADGERary. Soft is soft and soft is nice but every now and then a good scritchy brush will do you some good. Today was that day for me.

I did multiple passes with the Bengall and then switched to the Tech for clean-up. It's a mild razor that performs flawlessly when matched with a sharp blade. The Gillette Minora Platinum qualifies perfectly.

What an awesome shave this was. I had no weepers or any irritation felt with the alum. The beautiful lingering scent from the Tabac aftershave just dancing around me. Boy do I love this scent.

Alright well, that's it for today, ladies and gentlemen.

Take care and enjoy your shaves!
