First shave with the soap version of Tabac.

Travel Tech with an Astra SP
Tabac shaving soap
G5
CE Best

Nice soap. Smells exactly like the cream. Lathers faster and easier than the cream. Nice thick lather. Great glide. A little less moisturizing than the cream, but still an A+ there. More cushion than the Fat. It's going to take forever to get through all of this great stuff!

I remember that razor! Glad didn't get into a bidding war with you - it looks perfectly at home in your world.

I've had it for quite a while but haven't used it much lately because the marks are fading and I have to be careful wiping it down. It is a superb shaver

After a few days using Martin de Candre, today I used MWF. I like this soap a lot, specially now on the cold Winter days.
This brush is a very pleasant surprise.It amazes me with how quickly it lathers, and with the quantity and quality of the lather.​

Great photo and shave. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Adam. How do you like the Progress?

PREP: Hot shower with face scrub
RAZOR: C-Mon HF
BRUSH: Simpson PJ3
SOAP: THe bomb in "sweet neroli"
ASTRINGENT: Thayers Unscented
ASB: Skinfood
EDT: Elizabeth Arden "Sandalwood"
RESULT: SMOOTH COMFORTABLE SHAVE

This was a great shave. Took my time prepping my beard, and really creating a nice slick lather. Touched up the Cmon the other day and its super smooth and sharp. 2 passes and I am clean.

GREAT PICS TODAY AND YESTERDAY GENTS!!!!!!
HAVE A GREAT ONE!!!!

Thank you. Wonderful pic and a fabulous shave.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Razor: 6/8" Wade & Butcher "Original Bow", Wedge, Spike Point
Brush: 24mm Custom D01 Shavemac, 2-band Silvertip Badger
Überlather: SRD Bulgarian Rose Shave Soap
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Floïd Italian Amber
Results: Today is a FANTASTIC day for the SRD Bulgarian Rose soap and the W&B Bow. The lather from this soap was fabulous...no need for übering it with other creme/glycerin mix. It has all that wholesome goodness all by her lonesome. And the Bow? A fabulously sharp delight to use...I am sooooo BBS that I may not need shaving for few days
