Tonight's shave reminded of why I have kept my 1912 for ages. I have neglected it for quite some time and tonight plucked it off the stand. 1912, TABAC & Semogue 620 - sort of old school. The shave was so close with absolutely no irritation. I haven't had a shave this close in a good while. I'll give it a whirl with other soaps/creams and see if it rings true through & through.
