Sweet American steel on a Labor Day holiday here in the US!
Have a Great Monday Gents!

"Single in September", one of my favorite months and I had a head start pretty much using this setup for a few days in advance...

Monday SOTD

C.V. Heljestrand MK No.31 in Genuine Tortoise
Kanayama #3 Strop
Shavemac Americana D01 3 band badger
Tabac
Floris "JF" Aftershave splash
Tabac Hair Cream

Tabac is the dominant part of my September Song... The shave soap was once my desert island soap and there is a reason why. Wonderful creamy lather and a scent that wakes me up with a comforting warm spicy goodness that is unique. The Heljestrand Swedish steel glides with a high pitched singing on the handcrafted Japanese shell of the Kanayama. Cloaked in Genuine Hawksbill Tortoise it ( the pair actually) is my Holy Grail set of razors. The Floris "JF" splash with its full on punch of citrus is a perfect foil to the warm spicy goodness remnants of Tabac. Expensive yes, but adds the refreshing finish to a very masculine shave. The Tabac hair cream has been a constant for the last four years and is ancillary to the grooming experience as is the Tabac Luxury bath soap in the shower as is the Tabac Deo stick.

Some time in September I will source more Tabac products to incorporate but for now I will journal the particulars about my established setup daily through September and enjoy the well rounded enjoyment it provides!
