Well I have to say I am COMPLETELY UNDERWHELMED with Tabac! :shrug::gaah: 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. :soapbox: 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. :tameshigiri: 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!!!!!!!!:confused:

Sorry i have been very busy visiting my friend. Who 2 weeks ago was given 3-4 months to live. Boy were they wrong. I recieved a call today from his brother telling me that it looks like the end is near. His body shut down, has not eaten in a week and a half. Now they cant give him water. Its a waiting game for death.
I shaved this am but did not have time to post. This was the best shave i have recieved from and old W&B 2 passes to BBS. I was pleased.
Sorry to bring such a sad note to the SOTD. I love all your post.

Not a bad Idea. Anyone want to make a trade??? I have the Tabac soap and cologne. Used twice(low miles!!)
Sorry to hear that Nick. I got the same news today. My bud was just put in Hospice and taken off Chemo as it isn't working. Can't eat and is in constant pain. Down to 128Lbs....:cry:
Paul
Oh man i am so sorry. It is a rough thing to watch happen to a friend. If they cant eat and they dont do an iv its because the body cant and wont absorbe the nutrient. Over loads the body. Causes more problems. Im sorry. Your friend and you will be in my prayers
Nick and Paul, wow hard times for both of you. You will both be in our thoughts. Brings back my father's passing a few years ago, he suffered cancer to the esophagus. He was a big strong guy, then in 3 months he dwindled so much he needed support to walk across the floor. You will both be in our prayers.

A summertime shave for the begining of autum, lovely cool refreshing scents as the colder weeks start to approach, I think we all start to move slowly towards warmer and more spicy scents, maybe we do this in a subconscious way, now the shave two pass with minor touch up super smooth lovely.
