This AM I decided to revive my old tub of Coates Almond Shaving Cream. Needless to say it is now basically a tub of hard soap, as we know Coates has been out of business for some years. But, wet the surface and it comes alive as with any hard soap. Used my Mergress set at 3 with a Polsilver Super Iridium and a Chubby 1 two-band brush. It was a super smooth two-pass DFS, no nicks, no blood no belly spasms. It is so nice when things come together (especially old things) to give a great shave. I was really pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for listening.

Love it! I'm with you, I like revisiting something and either having a great shave or perhaps even changing my perspective.

I do it annually with Tabac. Solid performance but the scent is just not for me [or more importantly, my wife]. One day I hope to think: "Man, what was I thinking? This stuff is awesome!"

Well done Teddyboy !

Kevin, I don't know what you're thinking now.  Usually you and I are on the same page scent wise but your persistent inability to warm up to Tabac baffles me.  Confused2

Marko , The fact he is thinking it, even typing it, means he is already saying it to himself, just not out loud. I think he will come around sooner than he wants to admit Smile

Resistance is futile kwsher  ....you will be assimilated Smile  The wonderful scent of Tabac and its limitless possibilities will be the last thing on your mind as you drift off to sleep tonight and, tomorrow morning you will feel the inexorable, irresistible pull of Tabac and you will enjoy a wonderful Tabac shave and it will linger with you the entire day.  When I snap my fingers you will continue with your day and remember none of this....until Evilgrin

Your Jedi Mind Tricks hold no weight here...

But now that you mention it, maybe it's time to revisit. Maybe I do like Tabac. Can you send a note to my wife too?

Ah, now we get to the root of the matter. You must try the Jedi mind tricks, voodoo mumbo jumbo stuff with her, or you could just resort to your natural charm Smile In any case, these are not the droids you're looking for.

kwsher , fear not, Tabac can be de-scented, but you have to act quickly. Leave is outside in the heat with the top off for 3-4 days and you'll be good.
