>> Tallow Tabac Tuesday<<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Omega 10108 Boar
Soap: Mäurer and Wirtz ~ Tabac
Razor: Gillette Super Speed Red Tip
Blade: vintage Polsilver (3)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Stirling Soap ~ Orange Chill AS, witch hazel and psb.
Fragrance: POLO Red EdT

Another stunningly smooth and close shave with the excellent Polsilver Stainless. Enjoyed the tallow based Tabac quite a bit, too. It plain and simple performs.
3 passes. No touchups, no irritation, no drama - just BBS.

I closed the shave with Stirling's Orange Chill post shave products (AS, witch hazel and psb). I know this appears olfactory-wise odd, but the orange driven scent of OC works nicely with Tabac's scent imo.

Happy shaves, y'all!

Have some great shaves!
 
Hello, Gentlemen.

Razor: Snmirn Adjustable (aka Baby Future) (first use)
Blade: Shark
Brush: Frank's Shaving Synthetic
Soap: GBS Sandlewood
Post-Shave: GBS Alum block
Aftershave: Skin Bracer

Following a three day weekend, I had a three day growth. I put a mild blade in and started out on 5, then dialed it up to a 7.

The feedback from the skin block was more suggesting than scolding, and the burn from the Skin Bracer was non-existent, and Skin Bracer is quickly becoming my go-to everyday aftershave.

The 101st shave with this tallow version soap. Not too many shaves left. Fortunately, I have a sufficient backup of the Haslinger tallow-based soaps. The Shavemac did a fine job of making lather and feels great on the face. This will be the last shave with the UK Aristocrat-Wizamet blade combo, and I will move on to a different combo on Tuesday. A fine, BBS shave. Have a great day.
