Such an enjoyable shave this evening, I haven't posted on SOTD for a few days as I kept forgetting but after receiving the Wickhams 1912 Lemon Verbena in the post this morning how could I forget. Wonderful experience with the usual great performance from wickhams and complimented by my favourite citrus scent, what more could I ask for I feel great and smell great !!

With >30 hrs growth I was going to use the R41 but something @mpf9ret had said roused my curiosity and I stuck a injector blade in the MMOC and set about my shave. Very smooth and very effective. I will be repeating this, cheers Mike.
Although a fan of Tabac soap for quite some time, I've never tried the after-shave as I thought it would be too full-blown. After reading what @Digimonkey had to say, I bought a small bottle to test the waters. It's more subtle than I expected and I'm now wishing I'd bought a larger bottle. Cheers Iain, good call.

Evening K. - I'm glad you tried the Tabac a/s - what else would you finish a Tabac shave with? We don't need to talk any further about how good the soap is? I did the same as you - got the smaller one to try and - when finished - it's now been replaced with the bigger bottle. For me the scent is long lasting for an after-shave - my skin likes it very much - my other half always notices it on me - in a good way. This is not everyone's experience? @Barry Giddens? . yours - I.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Birch Sap Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: iKon 101 + bamboo handle
Blade: Treet Classic (#1)
Brush: Hans Baier Silver Tip
Soap: Valobra Menthol
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: American Crew Revitalizing Toner

Today's shave was excellent, I find the iKon 101 to be quite mild and it can be fussy about which blades are used, the Treet Classic is one that works for me in the 101. In fact it works superbly, sharp and smooth, in the 101 it made for an effortless shave with a super smooth finish. I may buy some more of these

I bought 100 treet dura blade and was shocked at how good these blades are, and for £7.50 to the door.

That's an open wound Iain. Of all the soaps/aftershaves I have tried (loads) it's the only scent my other half has taken an active dislike to. I can only use Tabac when she is not around. Tragic!

Greetings All,

Wednesday shave.

One growth and warm shave

Preparation – showered then face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)

Pre: None
Soap: OSP Barbershop
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (I3) (setting 5)
Blade: Shark SS (3rd)

Brush: Razorock 400 (face lather)

Another fine shave this morning – 3 passes without incident, but then for some stupid reason decided to chase the BBS and ended up with a few weepers.
