Überlather: Tabac Shave Creme + Tabac Shave Soap + Glycerin

Astringent: Thayer's Witch hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)

Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-Free Moisturizer

AS Splash: Tabac AS

Result: How do you perfect a shave with a razor that never ceases to amaze me or deliver the goods? How about a shot of 'legal' steroids? And that is exactly what the Tabac brings to this negotiation table. Coupled with this super duper lather, this Filarmonica was (literally) floating on cloud nine...and so was I. MUCHO BELLISSIMO!!!!! I love this blade. Super smooth and irritation-free shave. And of course, this shave wouldn't be complete without a Tabac AS splash (+ moisturizer).

Have a Fabulous Thursday gentlemen .

Love the brush Robert. Ok guys I need to take lessons on how to take these amazing pictures everone is doing.

Today's shave was with my first 7/8 blade. It was restored by Dave/Cannonfodder. Wonderful!!

Hot shower, Stephen Conditioning shave cream rub.
Stropped on a SRD P1 25 laps felt, 30 leather
Hannah made Ceramic Bowl
New Forest Badger Brush
Henkles 7/8 in Bocote
AOS Aluminum
Pinaud Vegetal
Vaseline for men.

Had a three day growth. The Henkles went through like a hot knife through butter. Nothing more to add except Wonderful shave.

Soap Gibbs is undoubtedly the best I've had in regard to protection and sliding.

Just a note of thanks to all veteran's who have served us, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. The B-17G in the picture is in honor of the 26,000 members of the 8th Air Force who gave their lives over the skies of Europe in 1943-44.

Nice touch of class Nathan . Well done

Nathan,

Have you ever been to Savannah, GA? The Mighty Eighth Air Force museum is located there. What an incredible place. Every year they would host a big reunion of their pilots. You could get some of the best stories there from some true heroes.

Great tribute you offered!

"Walk in the woods" is one of my favorites! I have "Notes from a Small Island" up next I can't wait!

I'm thinking that tomorrow I will have to break out the "legal steroids"! That's a beautiful Filly you have there Robert

I predict that you will master the hones in the not too distant future Bill!

bout the photo...
I asked my good wife to pick me up a new coffee cup. She returned with a matching pair of these "his and hers" monsters... I just hate matching stuff!! But, I do appreciate her efforts...
