Doug's Journal of Shaving Happiness v2.0

You just have to trust him....

After Googling a bit I now see why @cmh737 says that. But, now I am intrigued and may drop the $16 on a 100ml bottle just to see how bad it really is.

How so?

As one who totally digs the scent of Tabac, the EdT smells nothing like Tabac, at least to me. It's so different, that I can't even understand how it can be labeled Tabac. But that's just me.

Shave Quality
The shave was great yesterday, so I went with the same setup today. However, today I had time for the third pass and am full-on BBS. There is a tad more irritation than usual, due to the that pass. But, it isn't much. The soap performance was top notch yet again.

Gear
A great setup.

I may need to get another Sorrentino brush. I love the one that Eric made for me. I see no reason to even consider Paladin or any other custom brush.

Other Thoughts
I have been falling off the exercise wagon for over a week now. I need to get back to it.

Thank you for reading and commenting on my journal. I hope you have a great day and stellar shaves, Cadre.

Shave Quality
Two passes for full-on BBS! The RR BB really whipped up the lather today. The bigger knot on this brush is fun. The Tabac goodness + the Muhle with an Astra SP just left me feeling great.

Gear
The R41 can feel really aggressive if you go too steep with it. Keep it shallow. Ride the cap and you will get a great shave.

Other Thoughts
I should have a cup of tea, but I am feeling like a soda this morning. Coke Zero Cherry, here I come.

Thank you for reading and commenting on my journal. I hope you have a great day and stellar shaves, Cadre.

 

[Cvargo]

I agree with you on the R41. Great razor it used to be daily driver for awhile. One small mistake though and it will bite!

I haven't had a cherry coke in a LONG time. That sounds good!

 

[GearNoir]

I do love cherry flavored sodas! Having one in the morning though sounds deliciously naughty.

Good shave Doug! Hope the day goes well.

Ok ok Mr Crazy Guy. Let's slow things down before we're reading to you're using another soap before the Tabac is even gone!

 

[dangerousdon]

Cherry Coke Zero was my go to soda before I stopped drinking them. I will have one on very rare occasions. You need to take a pic of the lather you say went BOOM! Great read today!

I thought the same thing. Overview- Poof! Lather bomb. I so need to try that.

 

[Dave in KY]

I can't take the taste of diet sodas. If your gonna do it, DO IT !! Nice shave Tim !!!

That 26mm knot sucks up a bunch of soap from the puck and hangs on to it. It made lots of luscious lather this morning.

If it were a real sugar Coke, I would. Otherwise the Coke Zero line isn't too bad for me.

I am trying to stick mostly to tea and water these days. I love hot tea. I have decided to start avoiding the fancy coffee machine in the office also.

 

[dkeester]

Ok ok Mr Crazy Guy. Let's slow things down before we're reading to you're using another soap before the Tabac is even gone!

Oh, you don't have to worry about me not finishing the Tabac. It is just too good to put down. I am not above having CBL day or a GTB day once in a while though.

It has been a fairly good day. I can't complain.
