A wonderfully comfortable BBS result today. apfpilot on Wicked Edge asked me about some shaving soaps this morning, includign Tabac, and I realized that it’s been a while. I have Tabac in the bowl, but this morning decided to use the shave stick. I had forgotten what a very fine lather it produces (though in the winter some find it drying). The Rod Neep brush shown has a large and somewhat lofty knot—a brush that’s soft and would undoubtedly be called “floppy” by some. It quickly worked up the lather and did a very fine job—loads of lather after working it up and adding a driblet of water. It’s interesting how the brush seemed to keep the lather near the top of the knot, easy to apply.
The ATT razor with the R baseplate truly resides among the “mild-aggressive” razors: total comfort, yet immediate and complete stubble removal: BBS after 3 passes. A good splash of Tabac aftershave and today we get over the hump of the week.
