Le Grelot | Tabac | Semogue Custom Boar | Thayers Rose | SCS Avocado Oil Balm | Encre Noire

What a shave! I love using this Maxterpiece. The Le Grelots' reputation is well deserved. I tend to neglect the Tabac in favor of the other products in my den, so I decided to break it out today. It's still not my favorite performing soap, but I must admit it is a great addition. After two+ passes, I'm left BBS.

Great shaves this week, gentlemen, keep bringing them on!

Prep:Hot Shower
Scuttle: Dirty Bird Custom Double
Brush:TGN 24mm Premium Silvertip
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Uberlather:Cade cream, AOS Sandalwood soap, 5 drops of glycerin
Razor: E. Barnes & Sons “Unique and inimitable” customized by Alex Jacques
After shave: Master's Bayrum
EDT: NOIR


Result: This smiley wedge gave a very close shave in just 2 passes. It's going to be a long, but fun day at the office. We are doing a BBQ for our employees today and I get to man the grill

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

Thanks

Glenn

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Strop: Illinois 835
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Uber-Lather: Tabac Soap & Cream + Glycerine
Razor: Bengall 6/8
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel

Its Been 3 days since my last shave, and this is the first shave since getting home from Sydney. Its nice to have all my gear to select from. I havent made an Uber in months so I decided on a nice luxurious Tabac uber for the occasion. The Bengall served me well, 3 passes for an irritation free BBS. I hope you all have such great shaves today.
Havent had much time for commenting, but thanks for all the great posts and pics, You guys rock.
Glenn, I'm glad you got through the weather OK.

What a nice looking Henckels Mikael...But, judging by the pinning and scale material, I don't think those scales are Max' work. I could be wrong though

I used my very first straight today. It doesn't see much use these days, but every once in a while I feel like giving it a spin, for sentimental reasons. Besides, it is a great shaver

Razor: Dovo Bergischer Löwe
Honing Regimen: Chosera 1-5-10K, Y/G Escher

Happy Spring day Birnando. Sounds like a glorious day indeed. PS: How did the kids like the Tivoli?

It is a nice feeling to shave with one's first razor. Well done. Nice job on the honing too. How do you like the Chosera? I am contemplating getting myself a 1k for bevel setting (complementing the Shapton)

What a gorgeous Gotta Otto. I didn't know that the 120 version came in 8/8"!! I am pleasantly surprised.

Spring has finally sprung...More than that, it sprung so far that I feel I am in a tropical forest of sorts, LOL. Beautiful backdrop Bill. The Grelot is a beauty. Max did an amazing job with the scales (and I think a bit of regrind, if memory serves).

Congrats. Well done...and I guess, even a problem child can have his/her moment under the sun.
