Hot shower and towel
Shavemac 944 Best
Tabac Shaving Soap
Filarmonica 8/8 and Torrey 6/8 wedge...Trial run after touch up honing for a good friend
NIvea ASB
Tabac Edt

The Filly is a huge blade but smooth nevertheless. I dont think I can use a blade this big daily but it was a great experience to try such a fine blade. The Torrey was a smooth shaver for sure. It cut stubble like hot knife thru butter, very nice.

This was also my first experience with Tabac. I have never been able to make good lather with any soap since all of my brushes are too soft. I was able to get good lather, the shave went very good. The scent is a little different but not bad. The Tabac Edt, well, WOW!!!! why did I wait so long to try????? I highly recommend it. Thanks Mike.

Nice Saturday afternoon I should say!!
