Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac After Shave
The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #71 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready 1924 Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great shave with this Star Bar razor this morning. I've wanted one for quite a while. So when I saw this one pop up with a really low starting bid I figured I'd throw a slightly higher bid on and see what happened. No one else bid and I got it cheap. I did quite a bit of scrubbing and sanitizing on this one. It looks like it's been a bit neglected. I wonder where and for how long it sat unused.

This VB2 has to one of my best Valet razors. Only the second shave and it's given up one of my best shaves. It's like a Formula One on Nitro zipping around my face.

What a beautiful razor set. I'm honored to have been able to make a handle for it.
It's one fine piece of craftmanship, Greg. It gives me great pleaure to use that handle. On some razors I put the original handle in the photos, but I use your handle to do the shave.

Wednesday Morning Walkabout
Had a bunch of Feather Pro AC Light blades sitting around because they really don't fit into modern SE Razors so I snapped one to fit a GEM Spine and fiddled into the Empire. WOW This is a winner in the Wilkinson Sword. A real fine shave.
