My Semogue 1305 was nicely packages and doesn't shed at all. The paint is flawless. This brush is a pleasure to use as well with both hard soaps (Tabac) and creams ( TOBS Rose, Godrej Lime, Speick, Proraso, and Erasmic).

I never think about how much TOBS I use when I shave with it. I just dig a bit out and whip up a luxurious warm lather. Of course, that's on the days when I'm not using my TABAC :)

Disturbing News :(

Went to the doctor for a checkup last week. EKG came back abnormal. So, I went to the cardiologist this past Wednesday where they ran another EKG. Doc came in and after examining me said," I don't mean to scare you, but you've already had at least one heart attack." Said my blood pressure ...

New Convert

I brought another new DE convert into the fold this week and gifted him a boar brush, VDH soap, a slim adjustable, and some Treet dura sharp blades. He's one happy camper.

I too use a Dovo straight (ebony) in 5/8. I've had it for just over a year and I LOVE it. My advice is.....give it more time.

TOBS rose for me. Plenty of scent there. I can smell it as soon as the lid comes off, and for that, i am thankful. I LOVE the fine scent of rose.

Cheating on Tabac?

As many on here know, I am a huge fan of Tabac shave soap. In fact, it could be honestly said that Tabac is my favorite shave "soap." But........ Dear wife gave me a tub of TOBS Rose cream for Christmas and I have used it exclusively since that time. This is easily the best cream I have ev...

Why would somebody come onto a forum which appears to be all about "traditional shaving", ie...DE and Straight, and post some such nonsense as this? Looks like it should be on a modern throw away razor forum. Mark, Michael/Bargepole is a highly regarded, much esteemed member of this forum...

TOBS "Rose"

Dear wife gifted me a tub of the rose this Christmas. Just had to take it on in and give it a whirl. Awesome scent and great performance all around. I can see now why TOBS is considered "top shelf". She also gave me 100 Treet Dura Sharp blades :)
