Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #224 Synthetic
Supply The Single Edge SE
Supply Black Label Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #224 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply The Single Edge SE razor and the Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 12
Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash

My dear brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa is another master artisan - his Rooi Afrikaner is an absolutely FANTASTIC soap. Do I ever love its soapy/herbal scent, it’s tallow based, the lather explodes off my brush, it’s so slick, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer and the Florida Water were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me a spectacular BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave this morning! Returned to my Floris No.89 suite of products. A classic English fragrance with an incredible lather built with the PAA synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Quinn's lavender witch hazel and the matching aftershave splash & EdT.

An immensely enjoyable shave!!

Hope you have a great day. :)
