Tabac with some slack

Brush - Omega 10075
Soap - Tabac Stick
Razor - Souplex Bakelite
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (4)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Bens Bay Rum w/Pimento
I soaked the Omega 10075 for around 5 minutes, but the bristles seemed they could have done with a few more minutes soaking. Enjoyed the face feel of the brush, it is a scrubby beast and has the most backbone of any brush I own and created just enough lather for 2 passes and a little clean up around the jaw. The first pass with the blade was superb but was running out of steam, I'll give the blade a go in a slightly more efficient razor tomorrow.

The Progress did a great job clearing the whiskers today, and Tabac provided great cushion and slickness to pave the way.
Have a great Lord's day, gentlemen.

TabOCtober shave 8
Wonderful shave with this setup, once again. The Razor, still love it like the first day. I got an incredible shave even with shaving 2 weeks goatee. But the Klondike is when I applied the AS and got almost no stinging, proved the 3 passes shave was smooth. Got a lil nick on my neck. 9.5/10
Razor : Fatip OC Slant
Blade : Astra sp (3)
Brush : DS 26mm silvertip 2band
PS : Proraso red
Soap : Tabac stick scooped in a bowl
Cold rinse and witch Hazel Rose petal
AS : Tabac
Sunny day and amazing shave, life is good.
Have a nice Sunday.

Tabac (of course)

Last shave with the Voskhod, and I was surprised that it lasted this long. I have to either chop it up to better technic or the razor. I'll lean 50/50 on that one.

Tabactober 11th, Tabac soap and vintage cologne, Robuso razor, Duke 1 brush
Sunday, AM
Three passes, very close to no-BS BBS. Tabac did its job. Liked the new to me Schick blade.
And the folding Feather is so far the most pleasant to use SR in my arsenal. DX provides a nice balance between comfort and efficiency. And, perhaps, Artist Club August played its role.

Forgive me if you've already discussed it elsewhere, but that boar brush is striking. Would you mind telling more about the knot and handle?
Tabactober the 12th, still Tabac strong.

Another fantastic Tabac shave. Thankful for Tabactober as it’s reminding me of how much I love this soap. So much, in fact, that I took the plunge and ordered some Tabac AS and EDC.

Thank you! It's a DIY project brush: 3d-printed copy of an M7 handle (weight increased to roughly 2.5 oz with nuts and coins) with a 24mm boar knot cannibalized from Omega 65 (set just a tad deeper).

Still using the same setup. I am in no way tired by that, but writing the same every day seems pointless to me. So, from now on, I am going to report only any changes in the routine.
