Today I put really hot water on the soap before lathering. The lather looked better, and held up better, but it still was not very protective nor slick. And there are still little (tallow) clumps in the lather that don't dissolve. Dissatisfaction continues.
Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag Silk Tallow - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
Aftershave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave
Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Eau de Parfum
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Today I started with a new tub of the Chiseled Face Silk Tallow base. It has been fun to use this all month. It is quite different from other soap bases that I have tried.

Blade is still plenty sharp, and Darkwing is still great. Very much looking forward to some different scents next week.

Great results! Super close.
Hot take -- Tabac soap is just fine (talking about the tallow version, even). Nothing special. The scent I do like.
