Sunday morning:

Long hot shower with Tabac bath soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 14 (last day)
Tabac Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

Man oh man did I ever enjoy this shower with the Tabac bath soap - that beautiful scent kept on hitting me and my skin felt so well moisturized. The Tabac stick buried my face in such thick, rich, slick, protective lather, and the postshave feeling was perfect. I really didn’t need the Lubriderm moisturizer but because I’m a creature of habit I used a little anyway, the Tabac deodorant spray is so effective and it keeps the scent going. Finally the matching aftershave followed by the cologne and not only do I look gorgeous (according to my wife!) I smell wonderful. This 7 O’Clock blade is retired after two weeks of faithful service. Three passes did the job for me - another tip top BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

Enjoy your Sunday and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Jayaruh #476
J.A. Henckels Rapide
J.A. Henckels Wedge
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #476 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher razor and the J.A. Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! New soap day with the initial use of Adopted Acres "Lime on the Line" shave soap. Great lime + spearmint scent (I'm sure there are more in there, but these two stood out the most) with phenomenal lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and vintage Aqua Velva "Frost Lime" aftershave lotion.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

With 3 days growth, the blade was a little tuggy today. I probably should have used a sharper blade. Also, for some reason this soap didn't seem to be slick enough. Strange because Stirling soaps are usually very slick. Meanwhile I got a BBS shave.
