Razor: Schick Pre-Krona DE (1966)
Blade: Kai Stainless Steel (4)
Brush: Yaqi - Barber Pole 30mm
Pre-Shave: Face Scrub, Thayers, Hyaluronic Acid
Lather: Tabac Original
Aftershave: PAA - Malbolge
Shave Rating: 9.7/10 (perfect except I cut my lip at the end)
I gather it’s all about the lather!
I got the Tabac dialed in perfectly this morning...perfectly!
I have so many soaps in my rotation that it might be six months until I return to any particular one. This does not help me to get dialled in to any particular soap, or I forget it’s particular needs. I know Tabac is a good soap, but I have never gotten it down pat. I’ve been trying a YouTube technique someone linked to, and basically, I’ve been building my soap and adding water too fast. I’ve slowed down and taken my time and have been getting beautiful, creamy, bubble free lather. Today’s was The best I’ve ever gotten with my Tabac.
Between my 30mm brush and a super load of lather, I almost suffocated myself.
The Schick Krona is one of those sleeper razors that compete with any Superspeed. I usually toss my DE blades after three shaves, but I decided to keep going with the Kai. Easy straight forward BBS.
PAA Malbolge AS/Cologne partners up nicely with the Tabac.
I have a couple French soaps that I’ve had terrible luck lathering. I’m hoping my new technique will unlock their secret.
...be safe...be smooth
