  • Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: RazoRock GOAT
  • Blade: Zorrik Super Platinum (4)
  • Lather: M�urer & Wirtz - Tabac - Vegan - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive Beard & Face - Balm

Nice! I used the tallow version of Tabac yesterday, and vegan today. This latest vegan version is denser, and I'd say performance is on par with the tallow version. If you asked me right now which one I prefer, I'd say the vegan! The lather is just sort of easier to keep under control. A sample size of more than 1 shave per soap is in order.

Starting tomorrow we won't have any heat or plumbing for 5 or 6 days, so shaves are highly dependent on my work schedule and my desire to shave at the rec center :-)
