Back to base. Tabac gets along with all my boars. This time it was the Semogue 620. 2.5 passes with the New LC and a Nacet (4). Finished with some Aqua Velva.
Happy shaves and have a great day!

Soap - Tabac Stick
Razor - Fat Handle Tech
Blade - Lancet Super Platinum (12)
Post - Witch Hazel
AS - Denim
I loaded a little less soap today but still managed to create enough lather for 4 passes, probably an improvement on the 5 passes worth yesterday! Even though the Zenith unbleached boar is the most efficient boar brush I own (almost as efficient as a synth), doesn't hold the lather in the middle of the brush and has good face feel, I still seem to favour my roughly same sized Omega 11819 which is softer, a little more on the moppy side of things, takes a bit more soap to get going I think I prefer the face of the Omega.
Nonetheless it produced another exceptional lather with Tabac and the FHT/LSP produced a very smooth and comfortable shave.

This was for Oct 18. It wasn't a great shave, since I had to run out the door for a long drive. I think I'll pull this blade out of the Retro and put it in the RR Jaws to see how it'll do with 4 shaves on it.

Razor Fatip OC Grande
Blade BiC Chrome Platinum #3
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Hyaluronic + Clubman Whisky Wood
Excellent soap & brush combo creating a thick creamy and slick lather.
Shave with razor paired with blade was ohhh so smooth and comfortable for 3passes. Should stop but felt so good with the razor and went for a pickup and pay for it with 2 weepers. Very good post & aftershave. Rating 9.5/10.
Would have been perfect.
Reputation of razor and the shave is well deserved but depends on blade choice...
