SOTD May 2026

Sunday morning:

Warm shower with Tabac bath soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 8
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac Deodorant Spray
Tabac AS Splash

Ahhhhhh there’s nothing like the full Tabac experience from head to toe - the scent of this stuff is so delightful, (to me but not to my wife!) the bath soap not only left me squeaky clean it’s like washing with a block of moisturizing lotion, the shaving soap lathered like a maniac, this is the original tallow formula so it gave me such great blade glide because of the slickness, and it delivered a soothing, comfortable post-shave feeling. The Lubriderm moisturizer wasn’t really necessary but I’m a creature of habit so I used it anyway. The Tabac deodorant spray has the same awesome scent as the bath and shaving soaps. Last but not least the Tabac aftershave went on with a bit of a sting but then it felt great - not to mention how long the scent lasts - I LOVE it. Three glorious passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna Gem PTSE Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brute After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Brute Classic After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
