Saving Shekels
Gentlemen,
Sometimes we forget how many shekels we save by shaving the old fashioned way. By shaving as gentlemen.
I have used this particular bar of Tabac shaving soap more than six months and I think it has another two to go. As part of the regular rotation, I use several other soaps and creams, but the Tabac has been the workhorse.
Had I wasted my shave with a can of that vile foamy substance popular these days with modern shavers, I probably would have polluted the world with several cans of it already at an overall high cost. The Tabac cost around $10 or $12, and it's also top of the line.
Two of my brushes have more mileage on them than a '39 Cadillac, but they still caress my Hollywood face with a rich lather, and will continue to do so for many more miles.
My razors have cost a few additional shekels, but, if taken care of, they should last me for the rest of my life. They are also works of art. If you please, I would rather look at a Monet every morning than a highway billboard sign.
Most importantly, there is no price tag on the pleasure I receive from my daily old fashioned shaving ritual.
Regards,
Obie
