Thread: First Real Shave

Good work, my first shave was far worse, so waiting on my razor to come back from a proper hone. I'll be sticking with Tabac all the way when I do use it. There are a couple of soaps that come close; L'Occitane Cade, for one, but Tabac is still the best, I think.

Alum or witch hazel - using both is superfluous, as they do exactly the same thing. Overdoing the astringents can just dry the skin out IMO. I prefer WH, then I use a balm, as I like to put some moisture back.
