These just came in. Now I can have a proper Tabactober.

- Thread starter FoolishMortal
- Start date
Tabactober 21st. Still using Tabac.
I haven’t used Tabac in quite a long time, but it was Tuesday, in October, so why not? I wonder why I don’t use it more often... such an amazing lather
today: Tabac EdT
today: Tabac EdT
October 20-21:
Same setup except for the brush (Semogue 610) and the ASL (Floid Vigoroso). Same excellent lathers and comfortable close shaves.
Happy shaves and have a great day!

Shouldn’t try to use the Personnas more than three times. Got a little irritation on my face and didn’t quite get the BBS.

On 3 days growth it did a great job, except where I lost concentration right under my nose and sliced myself a touch. Oops. Wasn't too bad, but annoying.

Brush: RR Bruce Plissoft
Soap: Tabac
ASB: Nivea Sensitive
Very nice. But -- much as I like my Nivea Sensitive ASB, that ultra-cool Tabac aftershave lotion bottle is calling my name.

Clubman/Tabac mix AS
Canoe cologne
Easy and effortless shave. The Tabac almost builds its own lather.
I reviewed my shave log and this is shave #10 with Tabac this month so not bad for me ( I'm a habitual soap rotator ).

Wow - October is crushing me! Work is non-stop and there's little time for anything else - forums included. I'm happy to see that we've added a member or two and the stalwarts are pressing on.
I had a very rough shave a few days ago - enough to make me lay off for a few days, which I rarely do, but the NEW SC treated me right today.

Blade SuperMax Platinum Plus #2

Super lather from the soap...what a pleasure...!!
Shave with razor paired with blade was not so good. The blade is tuggy...not sharp nor smooth. Managed to complete 3pass with a couple of weepers and dfs result. Luckily post & aftershave was good. Rating 8.5/10
