Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion

Soap: Tabac
Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette French Brown (6)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel; Reuzel Woods & Spice Aftershave Splash

There is a very good reason why Tabac has stood the test of time and is so revered by wet shavers - its performance is reliably excellent.

I don’t remember @TomG have been using Tabac for ages roughly for two years???? Are you okay @TomG??? You’re not suffering from COVIDTABAC??

My first contribution to this thread!

A Saturday night shave means taking my time and tunes.

1958 Gillette toggle D1 setting 3
Stirling Executive Man
Razorock 400 Noir synth
Gillette Yellow 7'o'clock sharp edge
Stirling frost drops (3 drops first pass, added 2 more second pass)
Avon 'New World.

This is the first use of the frost drops. Was a bit mild at first but ended up nice and chilly. Don't effect the soap scent all that much. Need to find that sweet spot of amount added.

BBS effortlessly with the weekend razor.

All good here, Speedy. Just had a hankering for Tabac, and it didn't let me down.

Wolfpac Silk Road
OneBlade Genesis

Absolutely nailed the lather this morning with the Wolfpac. Shame this soap is no longer available, great base. I hadn't used the OneBlade for a while and it performed flawlessly.​

Pre-shave:- Hot towel
Bowl/Scuttle:- Wade with an insert
Brush:- Yaqi Barber
Soap/Cream:- Proraso
Razor/Blade:- 5/8 Kismet

Its time to start exiting some old soap, so oldest to newest will be used to completion.

GSB performing really well in the Wolfman, but doesn't everything

Yes it performs like a champ. The 5/8 hollows don’t require much love. You show them a hone and they are pretty much good to go.
