A tub of Acqua di parma shaving cream, a tub of tabac (tallow version, enjoyed my shave stick so much) and a chubby 2 in super, a varlet beehive and a tartara masamune. The latter 3 are sorta wish-list longer term items.

The tallow is still around?

I thought it would be gone by now from most online sources. The B&M’s In my area are picked clean since the summer.

I found quite a few on ebay that I have saved for the end of the month (just one extra puck/tub for me though).

I'm in again. Will need to replenish SkinGuard blades for travel purposes only. Will put off ordering a Blackbird Era for a bit at least.

If you don't want to push the blade further than before - though I maintain that there's a lot to learn by doing so - you can use multiple blades as long as they are the "same" blade.

Hey Hey thanks, I will try to push it as far as can be and tolerated by my skin, This is why I decided to participate, now will I make it 15 shave on 1 blade, I doubt it but hey we shall see. If worse comes to me, I can always not shave for the reminder of the month and yet still succeed somehow

Funny - I've had an unexplainably strong urge for Basil Hayden's all day...

Still in - headshave

 

[Heavy_Metal_Hound]

1st shave of the month, obviously I'm still in

Pre-shave: hot water, GFT Skinfood
Lather: TOBS Sandalwood
Brush: Wilkinson Sword Classic
Razor: Gillette Old Type 1921-1928
Blade: Tiger Platinum (1)
Post-shave: cold water, alum block and Fuar Ach Snog

1st shave of the month and my 1st shave with my 1920s old type since it came back from replating by Razoremporium. It looks and performs just like it is brand new and left me with a good bbs result that is still silky smooth 8 hours after I shaved

 

[Themadshaver18]

Still in- 1st shave of the month and it was a fine shave
