Greetings,

It's been a while since I last used the Tabac duo and as always, the performance from the soap & a/s was astounding, a wonderful slick protective lather from the soap with a classic old school scent from this superb old school duo....I have yet to try the new version of the soap, which isn't tallow based. I still have an unopened refill of the old tallow version which will keep me going for quite some time.

From my first use of Tabac products I was instantly hooked by the wonderful slick protective lather it created & old school fragrance.
It's one of those soaps that I could quite happily use with every shave, but that would become tedious and making it a mundane routine for me which traditional wet shaving should never become...I know some people have 'love/hate opinions on Tabac products The scent isn't for everyone which I totally understand, but for me personally the fragrance comes second besides once I do my cold water rinse the scent of the lather has virtually gone anyway with the exception of Tabac and a few others.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of L'0REAL Barber Club Reinforcing ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.;)

Keep safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

This is the second shave with the UK Gillette razor and a Personna Medical Prep blade. The result was a nice, close, smooth shave. I am ending the week with the next razor in my rotation: the UK Aristocrat. Today’s brush is a Paladin Lotus, a large brush with a nice large knot. It always makes some nice lather and enough of it to shave my face and head. The Razor Rock soap was used for the 72nd time. It’s getting harder to load a brush since there is very little soap left in the puck. In any event, it was a perfect shave. Have a great day and week, folks.
