Tabactober/Razorocktober/LoCtober 2017

[Egmont]

Sorry, I'm doing Arktober, all Arko, all the time. Shaving, hand washing, showering. I've been working through 15 sticks and I'm going to finish. That means nothing else until I do.

Shave soaps may be formulated for shaving, but they are still soap. I'm not sure how they compare to regular soaps as far as hand washing goes, but they do a reasonable job in the shower. Though a different product might be a good idea if you need deep cleaning, such as after a long workout, yard work, etc. That, and shave soaps tend to cost quite a bit more per oz than regular body soaps.

Got a great shave today Plissoft Bruce, Caribbean Holiday soap and my Parker Variant on setting 4. It always seems to amaze me how easy this soap is to lather. It's the only RR soap I've tried so will need to buy some others if they are all as good as this.

Tabacorocktober started off in my den with bang!

Other than the busted bowl, the shave was fantastic. Looking forward to this month.

Yes, works fine. I have only 3 sticks left. One's in the shower, I'm shaving with one an the third is unopened.

Used Tabac for the first time today and had a great shave.

Kicked off a new puck of Cade, pre shave shot but it didn't look much different after lathering. A bit of research on this soap yielded mixed reviews but first shave was very nice. Used a slightly less wet than normal B&B boar and got a better than average first try with a new soap. Time will tell but so far.

That is a sad sight @Gott543! I had a great shave this morning with the RR old type, Sputnik blade and RR Santa Maria del Fiore.

Proraso white pre - Tabac soap - SOC 2-band badger - Razorock German 37 slant - Wilkinson Sword - Tabac as

I didn't like the slant and the blade much, but the soap helped to make the shave a good one.

I used Tabac yesterday and couldn't stop running the brush across my face. I'm going to really enjoy this month.
Gott543 that's shaving soap abuse.

I actually saved the entire amount, so no soap was harmed in the breaking of my dish [emoji851]

I'm in! I have 4 Razorock soaps, 3 aftershaves and 2 of their synthetic brushes. The German 37 slant is my preferred razor. And, if we get a cold snap here I have Tabac soap, balm and cologne.

 

[Tee Dawg]

I'm in for Tabac, but I might mix in a few Razorock shaves during the month. I just purchased 3 jars of RoR.

With the temperatures definitely taking a plunge, I decided to switch to Tabac.

Razor: 34c
Soap: Tabac
AS: Tabac

Tabac is definitely a great performer, so easy to lather and delivering a slick, dense and protective, but scent wise, after a longer break, I always need a few shaves to appreciate it...
