Not the best shave today, need more practice getting a good lather with the cream, and I don't think the Astra SP is the blade for me. On the plus side, the Tabac smells great.

I love Tabac! I have used the cream and soap to make überlather in the past!

Razor: AlumiGoose 2 w/Hempel Ti Handle

Blade: Feather Professional (7)

Brush: Tres Amigos, Desert Ironwood Honeycomb w/Sunrise Synthetic

Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Turkish Bath

A/S: Fine Platinum




Another excellent shave today. Turkish Bath will remind you of the bygone era of old-time barber shops. A masculine scent with a clean, sharp finish.  Our take on combines the scent of aromatic spices, Merlot and orange zest. Everything came together for a very close to BBS.

Excellent gear Doug!

This was yesterday's shave but I didn't get a chance to post it. This was one of those where the stars aligned and everything performed beautifully to result in a close, comfortable BBS. Probably one of the best shaves of my life, it was that good! The Monster whipped up B&M's Adagio into the thickest, slickest, most protective lather you can imagine while the GEM Featherweight was smooth as butter while mowing down the stubble. I finished it off with Al Fin to keep the menthol going after a scorching hot day of working in the yard.
