When you desire a classic shave you just can't go wrong with Tabac Original and a Gillette Tech.

I pulled out my nifty little aluminum handle Tech and dropped in an always sharp Nacet blade for today's shave. This makes for a fun razor/blade combo that I always enjoy using. This razor is a mild one so I can basically fling it around without a care in the world. There's pretty much no risk of a cut but with the right angle, it still gives an efficient shave.

I did three passes with some well-hydrated Tabac lather and had a very enjoyable and relaxing shave all while earning myself a bbs in the meantime.

To round things out I brought along the accompanying components for the full ensemble. Tabac soap, splash, and balm. This trifecta is much loved and will always have a place in my den. If you don't have any Tabac you really should consider getting some. It's a real gentlemanly shave.

-Enjoy your shaves.
