Tabactober shave no. 1

I have used the soap for maybe 10-15 shaves already, and there’s still a faint Tabac logo visible. Hopefully I can whittle it down somewhat during this Tabactober. I'd like to reuse the mug for some other puck eventually. I’ll definitely be getting the Tabac jar once this puck is finished.

Yeah, this soap is hard to use up, almost feels like it does not want to show you you are actually using any

Well folks, new working hours, new soap for the month, I will need some adjustment as having less than 10 minutes to groom is not enough, I'll try an evening shave on Wednesday.

Sadly, no shave today, but I'm looking forward to my first use of Tallowbac tomorrow!
