    This was my first shave with Tabac Cream (tube). It was interesting. It came out of the tube with a yellow hue. It ended up being much thirstier than a bloomed puck. Maybe I put too much in the bowl but I went visually similar to what I would scoop from a modern croap. Anyway, it turned out nice and slick. The scent is slightly different than the bloomed puck but not bad. This is still the palmitate formula.

    Lazy Friday today ahead of a long weekend. Have a good one!

    This was a Tabactober break for a tallow-based lather with a scent at least as aggressive as Tabac. :)

    Have a good one.

    It’s only been 5 days of Tabac, but the Tabac stamp is still showing on the puck. How many shaves do you think one puck provides?

    Have a relaxing Sunday!

    Other than loving Tabac, I’m using this time to skill up on using hard soaps. This morning was a nice three-pass shave with BBS result.

    Have a great Thursday!

    Sample scoop part 1 of 2. This was a knob of soap left by one of Maggard’s sample packing angels.

    Dark chocolate dominates the initial scent. As I progressed, the other components popped out. The soap (Kaisen 2e base) performed very well.

    Today was my first shave with FaTip Lo Storto Gentile (slant with a scalloped safety bar and their classic, hollow handle). Compared to il Piccolo Storto, this handle is wider (14mm vs 12mm, I think ) and hollow with less mass. The balance point is much more towards the head. I initially didn’t like this at all.

    The razor performed well and was very efficient (more than 37C) but was more forgiving on the angle. This will be a better daily driver considering early morning, bleary-eyed shaves.

    Have a wonderful Sunday!

    Sample scoop 1 of 8. I’m no fougere expert, but damn this smells good. Stirling’s mutton base always makes my face happy.

    Sample scoop 1 of 3. Next time I use this, I’ll restrict water. It was a little foamy but went on slick. I wasn’t able to get any sheen but plenty of peaks. Unfortunately, the soap dissipated as I was shaving. I’m taking the blame on this. I’ll do better next time.

    Have a good day!
