Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend.
Every friday i pick out my sotd set-ups for the coming week i'm always attracted to using my tabac duo, but i hardly add this classic german product duo not because i've lost my passion for it no, because i know each time i do use them it's makes it a very pleasurable experience..From my first use of Tabac products i was instantly swooned by it's old school fragrance, and could quite happily use it with every shave, but that would become tedious and make it a mundane routine, which traditional wet shaving should never become...I know some members of this forum have 'love/hate opinions on tabac products The smell isn't everyones cup of tea which i totally understand, but for me personally,the fragrance of shaving soaps sticks,&creams is not terribly important ,what is important to me is the shaving performance, slickness & protection equally to that the product doesn't cause irritation to my skin, which to be honest my skin type hasn't had a reaction to the soaps or creams i've used so far.
The fragrance comes second , besides once you've rinsed your face after the shave the scent is virtually gone anyway ,' ...For me on a personal note Tabac pushes all my buttons what i like in a shaving soap and a/s,and for that reason alone it will always be welcome in my shaving den.
First maiden shave with the dorco titan stainless blades, the verdict?
A excellent match with the frankenrazor set-up yet again, sharp efficient & smooth, mowing through my stubble efortlessly..i'm not sure how many shaves they will deliver..at a guess maybe 3-4.
A very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth efficient shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of classic tabac a/s lotion.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
