Same old, but new. Finally upgraded the entire Meißner Tremonia series. It's now called Mint Menthol instead of Mint Ice Menthol. New glass bottles that are very nice. 

Ever-Ready Streamline, and Alpha Shaving T-400 with synthetic knot. Kilian "Vodka on the Rocks" EdP.

As always, an uneventful, efficient shave. The aftershave balm works nicely with the outside temperature of 1° C (33° F).

Razor: Ever Ready Streamline
Blade: Gem (1)
Brush: Rubberset 400 Oumo Badger
Soap: Zingari Man Blacksmith
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Dragonsbeard SFS
Fragrance: BVLGARI Man in Black Essence

Another run with the Streamline and what a difference a fresh new blade is. This thing is built like a tank and with the heft you can use a light touch and it runs thru the whiskers like (insert your favorite analogy here) I made more of an effort to hydrate my face due to the shorter and stiffer stubble. Used the Kiel's Cleanser from Rob and still had to move slowly with the razor around the mouth on the ATG pass because of the Kevlar buggers. If I took that approach though it scythed thru what was there and I am as slick skinned as an eel. Finished up with Dragonsbeard SFS and the MIB Essence from BVLGARI and I am smooth and smelling good for this mornings services. Have a Stellar Day Everyone !!!

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Silver Birch Brushes - Blue Resin 26mm Silvertip
Soap: Stirling Soap co. Lime
Razor: Razorock Hawk Stainless "A"
Blade: Feather Pro (6)
Post shave: Cold water Rinse, TC's infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: Pinaud Gents Gin


Now then, the cold water face wash and shave are the norm, however, i cannot take anymore cold showers - the boiler is still down.
We have traced the fault to the Gas valve and the new one should be here in the morning. The Engineer managed to find a slave valve in the workshop, however, it is from an older model and he could not guarantee it as they run on different voltages and pressures, it did confirm the problem though, at least the boiler fired up. Fingers crossed.
Anyway, a later than usual shave and it is just what i needed.
A really nice face lather with the Silver Birch Brush and Lime scented Stirling - cheered me right up.
3 full passes for a BBS result, the SS Hawk doing its job with ease.
A nice post shave finishing with the Gents Gin.
All good, feeling clean and refreshed, hopefully a warm shower tomorrow.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

I had another fun shave this morning with 2 wonderful creations by twhite, the Bunny V3 on loan from him and one of his newest creations a 3D printed Lather Catcher called the Fuzzy Catcher. The Schick L is on loan from mayer57619.
The Fuzzy Catcher handled a bit of the first pass on the front of my neck and all of the back of the neck. I did do a tiny bit of file work cleanup before the shave. I definitely need some more time with the razor before making any real assessment but initial impressions are positive.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
The Brush B-3 by Tom
TiBr Wabbit by Tom
Personna Injector
CWR
Tabac ASB

This is my first shave with the TiBr (Tom's injector Blade razor) Wabbit. It came to me with three base plates. I just picked one. The TiBr Wabbit weighs in at 16g.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the TiBr Wabbit razor with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

It was a very successful shave. Finding the right angle was quit easy.
