BarberDave's Shaves & Such

[Dave in KY]

Nice video and a ton of Barber Shop soaps to go thru.

Also, on the subject of talc, what is your opinion of Imperial Leather Talcum Powder?

I’ll tell ya I was disappointed to read it doesn’t smell like leather

 

[Dave in KY]

Found this in my supplies and nearly full. Doesn't say for shaving but I assume it will do the trick for shaving. What say y'all? How do the ingredients compare to the shave talc you guys have? Before @NurseDave points it out, yes I do see the Good Housekeeping seal and guarantee

 

[BarberDave]

What about RazoRock American Barber Italian Shave Soap – ItalianBarber? It is another YSL Rive Gauche inspired scent, but maybe worth inclusion?

This is one of my favorite barbershop scents: Figaro Monsieur - Ambra Aftershave Splash 400ml. (Also available from ItalianBarber.) I don't think there is a matching soap, but I still wonder how close it gets to a true barbershop scent in your opinion.

Also, on the subject of talc, what is your opinion of Imperial Leather Talcum Powder?

meh, does not smell like leather, and as to RR's offering meh as well, performance is just not there to me for this shootout.

Nope, Dave told me not to......

“Press here”. Even back then. There we idiots that could not figure out how to use a can of powder?

Nice video Dave! I had Fine American Blend in my cart multiple times, but never pulled the trigger. I may need to now!

 

[BarberDave]

Thanks Everyone Much appreciated

Day-4 and the Occam throws a Hail Mary

 

[GearNoir]

Occam hangin in there by the skin of its teeth!

 

[Dave in KY]

Just watched 3rd day and that was my experience with plate 3 and why Dave has no issue. He doesn't do the areas that were hard to get. Day 4 to see the Hail Mary moment next

Fine AB definitely in my top 5 soaps. I love the scent! I have the AS, balm, and EDT.

@BarberDave Have you tried No. 11 from Oleo? https://www.oleoandcompany.com/collections/post-shave/products/no-11-aftershave-skin-food

I am also curious if you own any Maison Margiela Replica: At the Barber's? It is the inspiration behind No. 11.

Watched # 4 and nice thoughts and reviews. Won't change my feelings for me but enjoying your thoughts on it. LOVE Proraso Green Splash too !
