Tabac Tue 1st (back to home) SOTD
Soap Tabac
Brush Yaqi 26mm Moka Express
Razor Gillette New SC
Blade Gillette London Bridge 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Missed my Tabac. Did not disappoint as the lather is creamy and slick! The scent is mild & unique for sure...
Missed my vintage razors too. Shave with this favorite razor paired with the blade was very good. Just so smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs finish. Finally, get to have ice water for post-shave...so nice & matched perfectly with the MitA!

Totally agree on the Stirling soaps. They're priced so reasonably also.

Yup and my favourites are the 1oz samples...that way, I can have many types without storage space issues and a long time to finish...

Forgot my hat Sunday on a day trip to Cedar Point and my head is not as tender as it was yesterday. Menthol to cool and Eucalyptus to heal.

Have a great day.

That Spring/ Summer splash you made looks really good from the ingredients.
