Day-7 Barbershop/Razor Shootout​

Here we are at Day-7..... ya again because apparently I cannot add, LOL. Video inlcuded, however this is the most powdery of all the offerings, but made up for in sheer performance. Helped along by the Aquae, and Savoy Steam, made for a DSBBS experience and another possible contender for the crown.

Day-8 Barbershop Shootout​

We arrive at day-8 of the marathon Barbershop Shave Soap shootout and yet another contender for the crown. CBL Tonsorial. The Barbershop Scent flavor today. Although very light and subtle in its strength it checks off all the boxes for a true barbershop scent. Barbacide, Hot lather, fresh towels, and the amalgamation of various aftershave scents, hair and so forth, with a very nice slight powder finish. Could it be a bit stronger, sure, but this way it does not interfere with any post shave fragrances. Damn near perfection in this shootout.

3-passes today with the Boker for a DSBBS. A talc finish and a few dabs of Pierre Cardin and off to a very important meeting ( more on that later in the week). Video was shot as well and linked below

Day-9 Barbershop Shootout ( On Hold )
​

Called an audible today as I was jonesing for a Tabac shave. As expected just fantastic. The Star of the show was actually the Tnnser 3D printed razor given to me by @uacowboy. Traditionally I dont use these types of razor often, although I have a bunch of them, but this was was a game changer. The shave was smooth, blade was secure, and the handle....ooh that handle. I mentioned in my video, I would reach for this before my Occam. Yes... It was that good of a shave. One of the most comfortable handles I have ever encountered. Great razor.

As for TABAC...... Needs no introduction....... Like it or hate it.... I happen to love it. A smooth Oriental and some interesting history, including notes and thoughts in my video linked below. 3-passes DSBBS(g) today and Vasilli CRAZY on the EdC and Aftershave. Much like "The Veg" you dont tiptoe around TABAC you bathe in it, LOL

Have a great day!
