Tabac Tuesday

Filarmonica 14 Especial Razor
Fluffy Industries Brass Edition Oumo Luxury Boar
Tabac Luxury Soap
Tabac Original AS

This was the first run with the Oumo knot in the Brass handle. This knot is just as good as the other one I put in the Model 86. Zero complaints on the purchase of the two boar knots.
Looking forward to the two horse hair knots and the black badger knot I have on the way from Oumo. 
Made a new and larger plate. So I have more room to hang the additional brushes. 
Hope you all had a good Tuesday.

Just for Dave in KY 

The old piece was 1” wide. Had to make room for another row.

Thursday’s Shave 

FW Engels Leader Razor

Hub City Morning Walk Sample
Sailor Jerry’s Spiced Navy AS

Nice day and shave. The year is almost over. And I have yet to pick out my set up for the last shave of 2021. More importantly the set up for the first shave of ‘22. 
Cause I’m sure you all know that the first shave of the year. Sets the tone for every shave that follows. No pressure….but you people  better get it right.

New Years Eve shave.



Gillette Fatboy Razor (Voskhod)
Ethos DFS sample
Omega Boar Brush
Alt Innsbruck AS

Back to where it (shaving) began for me.  My first shaves were with Bic disposable plastic turds.  The next razor I got was this Fatboy. My Dad had one. So why not, right? Circa 1986. Loaded with the Acme branded DE blades. Because my dad worked at Acme markets from the 60's till the late 80's. The blades were ok. But after 3 or 4 shaves they fell off pretty quick. And being cheap I usually kept on with them for prolly 9-10 shaves. Tugging pulling and generally pissing me off. One reason why daily shaves were not in the SOP. 
Canned shave cream was used as well.  
Thankfully for this shave. Voskhod is the blade. The soap is most certainly not in a can.  Using this razor is basically second nature. With it set to 4 with a fresh blade. And up to 5 after two or three uses. But since they are so cheap they are usually tossed after the fifth use. No more tugging with a DE for me. 
New years went uneventfully for the missus and I. 
Hope you guys are all enjoying 2022 so far.

New Year started well for us, too. Let's hope it can keep it up and far surpass the last couple of dumpster fire years!

I’m Saturday’s Shave 

Korrat 14 2.0
Razorock 400 Gealousy Badger Knot
SV Opuntia 
Tabac Man

The other end of my spectrum. This is my one and only “custom” straight. The knot I put into the handle is super nice. And the SV soap just does everything that you need a soap to do. The Tabac Man matches up pretty well with the scent of the opuntia. This is a setup you could use over and over and still enjoy. 
Made two little personal pizzas for dinner. Still haven’t perfected my dough shaping to get the crust edge like i like it. But homemade fresh pizza for about $1 a piece is not a bad deal. 
Also got the call from work. Snow is forecast for Monday morning. So I’ll be in Daddy’s Girl at 0200. Winter is upon us. 

I’ll let you know how Bob,Mini Me, AST Barbie and myself make out.
