Thanked: 2516SOTD Saturday July 24, 2010
Razor: 5/8 Wostenholm Pipe Razor Full Hollow Round Point
Soap/Mug: Tabac
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Nivea replenishing
Aftershave: Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Used the Tabac SS same as usual. Didn't observe much glide or cushion. It was very similar to the Williams SS but didn't dry as fast. IMHO the Tabac doesn't have cushion. I could feel the razor on the skin during the shaving strokes however, the Tabac does the same as the Williams in that it encases the whiskers and stands them up for cutting. The Tabac delivered a very close and comfortable shave and provided exactly what you would expect a lather to do. It's a great soap but no glide or cushion IMHO.

Thanked: 2516Hi Matt, I always bowl lather. (then put the brush in a scuttle for the warm lather) I tend to work the lather into the beard with the brush pretty well but I will try the face lather to see if it makes a difference. The MWF gives me plenty of slickness. That stuff is the slipperiest lather of all the soaps so far. Thanks for the interest in the observations that we're conducting Matt. Stay tuned.

No, those King's are not small razors; they are normal 5/8's razors. The Greaves are extra long. And I just noticed the reflection of my Listerine in the Greaves.... It's not even close to where I took the photo....Last edited by holli4pirating; 07-25-2010 at 02:19 AM.
