January 16, 2024 -- Two Tea for Tuesday

  • Brush: Brad Sears Scotsman XL 28mm Super Badger

  • Razor: Dubl Duck 5/8" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave

  • Talc: Yardley Gold
     
    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Okay, since I don't have a Tabak Oridjinal, I'm free to interpret Tuesday more broadly :) Here's my Tabac-Tuesday SOTD ...

I'm borrowing the idea of using two tea scents from @djundjila who did it Sunday. Cheshire and TNeV pair very well. I thought that the TNeV aftershave would be a bit like a dessert tea, but I actually think TNeV soap followed by Cheshire aftershave might feel more like a main course followed by dessert.

This was my second shave on the Belgian Coticule/Black Arkansas edge that I put on this razor a couple of weeks ago. Wow, is it sharp! It is very comfortable, though, and I was completely surprised by the closeness of today's result. Great shave today!

"more broadly" 😂

Cheshire++;
Thé Noir et Vanille++;

I'll have to try those two together!
