The Tabac peforms time over time leaves behind so many soaps in protection I reach for it when time is of essence and I dont have the time to watch out for technique only had 5min for the shave so need a dead sure lather Tabac Stick provides that. Had some Acne build up... the Feather dug itself nicely into it and took a chunk of skin off started to bleed some hence the over use of Anherb.
I find myself more and more being drawn to shave twice a day dont like the stubbly feeling at all anymore and since I only do 2 passes im thinking I might get away of shaving twice a day it would only be 4 passes totall.

I also managed to do what Rene did yesterday: I beheaded a pimple. Nothing the alum couldn't fix, though :D

Jeff, you lucky man

I am still serching for the right scent that me and my wife enjoy. So far she likes Sandalwood and musk but she dose not go that wild over it.

But my mother in law loves the Bay Rum.:rolleyes: :rofl

[crackstar]

ah, Doc, bay rum is one of my favorite scents too. It suits me to a T, even if I say so myself! ;) My wife loves the scent of this De Vergulde Hand soap and aftershave, and of course, so do I. When she smells the Erasmic soap in the bowl, or the stick or cream, she tells me I smell like a World War 2 veteran. She hates it, but hey, I love it! :rofl :rofl

Late evening in a hotel room (vacation) and I thought I was prepared:

Looooooong hot shower (gotta love hot hotel water that "never" runs out)
'62 Slim Adjustable w/Derby Extra blade (Day 1)
QED B&B shave stick (perfect for travel)
Savile Row SR100 pure travel brush (scritchy scritchy)
Alum
QED Peppermint Hydrosol
Speick A/S splash
MamaBear's Menthol A/S milk

Ouch. Very ouch. The SR100 pure brush is stiff, scratchy, and I think is what started the redness on my neck tonight. That, combined with the QED shave stick (still learning how to use one), I got VERY thick lather, and very lubricating, but for some reason I have two nicks that are pretty bad, and the Menthol A/S milk burns something FIERCE. It's never done that before. :eek: :eek:

Guess I need to refine my travel regiment.

Freaking amazing. I'd been getting some bad shaves the last few days and was wondering whether the Proraso pre was to blame so I took a bunch of products that never had failed me. And is was the best ever. Now to see if I can replicate the same results tomorrow after only a day and a half instead of two days.

Homemade silvertip brush (how I love this thing)
RJ Outram's first edition strop
TI 7/8 silversteel red stamina
Sanex AS balm
King of shaves moisterizer

Very nice. The first time I got a nice shave out of the Taylors rose cream. The first time I tried I scratched myself up pretty bad. I like it now though, although I have to admit I still find rose scent a bit of a weird scent.

Savile Row Badger
Parker 22R/new Sharp
Palmolive (US) shaving cream
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Mennen Skin Bracer Original a/shave

I don't know why so many guys don't like the scent of the US version of Palmolive, it's clean, soapy, and nice. Although I prefer the Euro kind, this one is quite ok with me. It really is a pity that it's discontinued.

Even though shaving with the QED sticks while in Vegas was great, I was glad to get back to that Mama Bear lathering goodness in my shaving mug.
