Tabac never fails.
Outstanding shave in every way.

Spicy Menthol Monday
Superb shave today in two passes. I decided to try my technique of WTG-ATG with a feather blade and the results were superb. No irritation or weepers, just a very close and comfortable shave. The boar made optimal lather from Tabac, and Spice Grenade finished things off great - a little goes a long way and it provides a welcome cool.
Prep: Chatillon Lux Butter
Soap: Tabac
Brush: Stirling Boar
Razor: Rockwell 6s R6
Blade: feather ?
AS: Ginger's Garden Spice Grenade

Nice setup.  I find the Rockwell 6s and the Feather blade to be an ideal combination.

My only issue with feathers is that they do not last long for me. Usually two shaves due to my steel wool stubble. ?
