Another great shave with the incredible Lo Storto Originale. :cornut:

Proraso pre-shave
Sudsy Soapery Lavender and Peppermint soap
TNS Chess boss synthetic brush
Doug Smith Pottery shave mug
Osma alum block
Nivea Sensitive aftershave balm

This blade tugged a lot and took some extra passes to get through the whiskers. This might be the one and only shave with this blade.

Nothing changed from Saturday nights shave, equipment wise. Probably could have gone without a shave but wanted to get one in before I go into work tomorrow and won’t be back until Wednesday.

A solid shave, however(*), when I was adding water to the lather, the brush fell out and into the sink half-filled with water. 🤦🏼‍♂️ This kinda threw off the whole routine and the lather wasn’t as consistent towards the end of the shave like it was last time. Regardless, still a good shave!

Greetings,

I've only use the used vie-long Stick a few times since i was introduced and recommended to try out last year by a fellow member on TSR..I forgot how non-fuss it takes to create a lather with such a small amount rubbed directly into my stubble to create a slick protective lather for the shave without going back to the stick to re-apply...Another shave soap that leaves a wonderful post shave feel.

The Williams AV is becoming my favourite ASL the post shave feel is amazingly good.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

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

Stay safe and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
 
Tabac Tues 14 SOTD
Soap Tabac
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow Synthetic
Razor Fatip OC Grande
Blade Tatra Platinum 1st
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Truly top quality soap this Tabac. Thickly creamy and slick lather. More than enough for 4pass. Load from tub & face lather is both easy and pleasurable with the brush
Shave with razor and blade was very smooth...and comfortably sharp! Made a silly mistake and nicked my nose...hahaha it's not even a shave area.
3+1 multiple passes and saw 2 tiny red dots at neck area...dang! Just when I thought is could be perfect. Very close results though. Ice water rinse followed by Thayers and Hyaluronic then AV Musk. So soft snd smooth feel. 9/10
Much better and smoother blade than yesterday's SMax Platinum Plus...
