Man alive, woody bonanza! This is one of the lively vetiver fragrances there are. "Smoldering woods on the beach" is how someone once described this scent.

Perhaps the last 'summery' shave of the year?

W&B in G10/EJ Barley w/Mekur Blade-Tabac-Lubriderm

Well I have to say I am COMPLETELY UNDERWHELMED with Tabac! Not too much water and it initially made a mound of lather. It broke down quickly provided and no glide or cushion. It would dry out very fast on my face. My razor did not want to glide on my face at all. YMMV After the first pass I quickly switched to the DE so I could shave faster. Now I did get a great shave out of it by doing two more passes with the DE but the soap was not even close to my expectations. This will be relegated to my Army kit with DE. The only way I would want this with a str8 is if I used it as an Uber. BUMMER!!!!!!!!

Pre-Shave: Hot shower

Brush: Simpson Chubby 1

Razor: Filarmonica DT 14

Strop: 40/60 Neil Miller Linen/English bridle

Soap/Cream: Cella

Astrigent: Alum block

After shave: Mennen Skin bracer

Results: The Fili chopped down four days of growth like a V8 chainsaw in a corn field a wonderful effortless shave.

Good evening Gentlemen!

Just so you don't think that you are the only one in SRP-land that doesn't adore Tabac...I am on board with you. I wasn't impressed either. Plus I think it smells awful. I got rid of mine toot-sweet. To each his own.

Sorry to hear that and I'm sure one of your countrymen would help with its safe disposal As you say MMV and it would be a dull world if we all got the same results.
