Tabactober 2021

Slacked off for a spa shave of 48 hour stubble. Prep with my vintage Old Spice puck, but Tabac tallow lubed the whisker massacre.

Very good lather from the soap as usual.

>> Tallow Tabac Tuesday/ SOCTOBER / OCtober / TABACTOBER <<

Preshave: shower, frigid tap water
Brush: Semogue TSN LE 3-band Silvertip
Soap: Mäurer & Wirtz ~ Tabac
Razor: Above The Tie OC "H2-plate"
Blade: Gillette Platinum (3)
Post shave: frigid tap water, Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac ASL, Nivea Sensitive asb.

A VERY close shave. I kind of slowed down within my two passes today, the H2 plate doesn't accept a speedy shave - you would end up with pink lather otherwise. Subsequent to some minor touchups my skin feels calm and smooth like wet dolphin skin. A great brush, a great soap and a lovely shave result...couldn't be happier with this shave.

Enjoy your Tallow Tabac Tuesday, y'all!
