I find the Tabac AS to work fine. More often than not I reach for it after using the shaving soap. It isn't the best performer out there, but it works well as an end to a good shave. I sometimes mix in a dab of Corn Husker's lotion if I've had a less than stellar shave.

FS: Complete kit. Gillette, C&E, & bonus cream

I have a complete kit for sale. The brush and razor go well together when displayed. The kit consists of the following: Gillette Black Long Handle Adjustable - Date code S-2. I would call this razor excellent, perhaps a bit short of mint. There is no brassing, hazing, or dings. It has minimal "...

:shock: Sacreligious, I say! Not everyone can get MWF to work for them, and to be honest, the reason escapes me as to why that is. I really don't treat MWF any different from any of the other soaps I own , and I get perfect, voluminous lather each and every time. The best use for MWF is to shave --...

FS: Complete set - Rooney 1/1, '47 SS, Monsavon, Valobra

I have for sale a complete shaving set. It consists of: A Rooney 1/1 Ebony shaving brush in Super Badger. Used 25 times or less. The characteristics of this brush did not turn out to be my cup of tea. A 1947 (no notch) Gillette Super Speed. Great condition with no brassing. It has a tiny ding on sil...

I asked the seller how old they were and how much stock they had. The reply was "im not sure of the age of these blades and all i have left is what is listed, i have had quite a lot of these, they have been very popular but this is the last of them."

Was there ever a consensus on these "Annecy" Swedes? To thicken the plot, I've seen Annecy mentioned on two different Gillette Platinum packs. One was 5 blade dispenser, the other the 10 blade we see here.

For me, Art of Shaving and Penhaligon's best Tabac. From those two, I get a thick, slick lather. Tabac yields a lather that is very wet and slick, but not as thick. If you can find some vintage Yardley, give that a try. Vintage Wrisley's is reported to be pretty much the same thing. There are other ...
