LG23-16: Father's Day

  • Brush: Rubberset 400 26mm Soft Tuxedo
  • Razor: GEM Micromatic Gen 2 "Peerless" Clog Pruf
  • Blade: GEM (28)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Mennen - Skin Bracer - After Shave
  • Fragrance: Clandestine Laboratories - Film Noir
  • Passes: WTG, XTG, ATG
  • Coffee: Colombia Washed + Ethiopia Natural Process Blend
  • Music: Jane Birkin et Serge Gainsbourg

I haven't cracked this ceramic Tabac lid in ages, but today's theme narrowed my options to products from before the '80s, and I thought my stinky old friend might pair nicely with some vintage-styled fougères. It did.

More importantly, what a lather! I forgot how impressive the performance of the old tallow base is; the slickness and protection are at least as good as my favorite S-Tier artisan bases, even if Tabac is a bit more drying. Really excellent stuff.
