WTB: Tabac

I have yet to try Tabac, and it seems that it is either a love it or hate thing. I would love to try it, so let me know if you are getting rid of any. Glass bowl, optional.

Thanks folks!

I just put my MWF into a cheap, plastic (Walmart) bowl with a lid. Cheap, and works well.

Razor handle looks terrific! It's a good thing that the previous owner didn't need it anymore.

Along with all of the great advise, I really appreciate the general attitude here that acknowledges and encourages the idea of "whatever works best for you."

I would prefer that Crystals would work better for me than Feathers (a lot cheaper ) :D but I usually hear of Feathers with the slant. I forgot to mention last night, that there is almost NO irritation! This is practically a first for me! Even now, more than twelve hours later, there is still no app...

Well, this evening was my second slant shave. Almost perfect. Better than DFS, but not quite BBS. Astounding!!! Third time using a Bic blade, stropping daily. I am getting anxious to wear out this blade, so that I can try a Crystal, and in a few weeks, my first Feather!

Well, I received my slant (a Sledgehammer) two ) just in the mail two days ago, just in time to take to a conference. Yesterday was my first slant shave, and it was quite good for a first attempt. The day before, was one of my closest shaves ever, so there was not much stubble to remove. First two p...

I use Nivea AS balm (Sensitive), occasionally during the winter, but almost exclusively, I use Clubman by Pinaud simply because I love the scent. The low price (at Sally's Beauty Supply) is the icing on the cake!

Is it in the same spot? Are the bristles breaking or coming out of the knot? Are they as long as the longest bristles or breaking part of the way down? The knot is held with so much epoxy that likely it's breaking at the base, because of some damage/defect. Not normal. It appears that the individua...

G3

I would not recommend a G3. I have one, and it truly is a work of art. The only problem is that it is just not up to the job of keeping my brush warm. I have to change the water at least twice, often three times. Buying it at a good price is just not good enough! I like the Moss (Thanks for designin...
