March 24, 2026 -- Tabac Tuesday

  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point - Pale Scales
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point - Amber Scales
  • Lather: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Eau de Toilette

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a comparison test between an edge created on a Vermont Green slate and one created on a Vermont Mottled Gray slate. And since it is a Tuesday, Tabac was the perfect choice for soap, splash, and EdT.
