Very nice shave, indeed. I'm not convinced this is actually a Maggard SHD Badger knot -- it feels a lot different than my other ones.

Today's meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club meant using Tabac. Often called "divisive" or "not good", I love the scent of Tabac.

Today's a meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. We went with the classic Tabac Original soap. A 30 second load provided plenty of slick lather.

Have a good day!

Duodi 2 Pluviôse an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Mousse: Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club

  • Brush: Yaqi Starry Night 28mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Mühle R41 (3-piece)
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (9)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac
  • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
  • Postshave: Tabac Original After Shave Lotion
  • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

This was a rather rough shave. I was late, and didn't have much time, so I used a DE. I should probably get rid of the blade. And probably, using the most aggressive razor in my arsenal was not the best idea either.

Tabac is a great soap no doubt about that. There is, however, considerable doubt whether I used the vegan or the old version. I would guess vegan.

Have a good night!

For this month's installment of BVWSC we're shaving with good ol' Tabac, since the elected soap didn't make it this month.

There's never a bad day to shave with Tabac though. Easy, slick lather with great performance and that stank. I'm a fan.

Is the cap of the aftershave blue, or is this just the light? Mine has the same color of the cap as the lid of the soap.

Just a trick of the light, mine is also the same color as the soap lid.
