Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWS
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Yesterday's shave was absolutely fantastic. I have wanted a Bunny razor by Tom White for several years. Well I finally got one. This is the V2.2 of which there were only 2 made. I am so blown away by this razor. The design is spectacular and the shave quality is wonderful. I loaded a Schick Proline B20 and went to shaving. The shave angel is exceptionally easy to find. Although it looks almost like that would be 90 degrees from handle to skin it isn't. The spring bronze portion that holds the blade actually angles back after rounding over the top of the razor and sets the shave angle perfectly. I also love the Baton style handle on this version which is also removable. The previous version had a more slender tapered and fixed handle. I got to borrow the previous version for a few weeks. And although it is a very elegant and beautiful design and still very comfortable to use this handle suits me better. In the second picture you can see the interchangeable combs for MILD, NOTSO, and WILD. I went with the NOTSO comb for a medium aggressive setting. So smooth. I am over the moon to have this extraordinary razor in my collection.

Very nice. I have the V3 Bunny razor. I would shave with it next week, but, alas, I have scheduled my Rolls Razor for next week. I am now scheduling my Bunny V3 for the following week. Thanks for the prompt.

Keep looking! I like the later model better because I don't have to shim the blade to keep the cap from being too loose. Some put two blades in, but that just ain't me!

I was in on the pass around for one of the Bunny's. I think that was the V3. Fantastic razor.

Yep it would have been the V3. That was 6 years ago I think. Time sure flies.
