Tabacstag!
We are headed to Frankenmuth today - a little German town not too far away, so I felt Tabac was an appropriate choice. I also used a personna lab blue in the Model T, dialing it down to 5 in order to address the sharpness of the blade. The shave was smooth and easy.

SOTD 12/29/19

My vintage razor a day shaving exercise is rapidly drawing to a close. On this 29th day of Decadent December I selected a NOS LaResche 901 safety razor and had a bit of a rough go. The razor was made in the 1960s and marked the beginning of the end for LaResche safety razor production. The open comb had a few bent teeth requiring straightening, and just did not seem to even begin to approach the quality level of the 51 or their masterpiece, the 77. The razor had a relatively narrow sweet spot, and only seemed to perform decently when riding the cap. The result was an acceptable DFS with a few minor weepers that did not require the styptic. The alum block settled things down nicely. The Gillette Pure shave cream is a nice product and lathered up beautifully, and did it’s job well. I feel clean and refreshed, but not particularly smooth.
