  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Blade Holder: Zomchí Premium Razor

  • Blade: Zomchí Superior Platinum DE (2)

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Vespers - Soap

  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Vespers - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This shave was for a review that I agreed to do for the Zomchí razor. Even though I'm the last person to do a DE razor review, the bottom line is that I think this razor is a great value.

Tabac Tuesday 24 Dec 2024

  • Brush: Chisel and Hound Ambrosia Maple with 26 mm Maggard knot
  • Razor: Wolfman Satin WR1 dual comb 0.74 mm gap head on hollow WRH1 handle
  • Blade: Feather New Hi-Stainless
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original – Stick
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Dickens, Revisited

Merry Tabac Tuesday my friends!

My wife gifted me a gorgeous butterscotch Simpson Chubby with Manchurian badger today, but this shave happened before, so it's with my travel synth. I'm excited to try it out tomorrow.

I haven't used the Tabac stick nor the WR1 Wolfie in a while, but they are just as nice as I remember and I had a wonderful Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and I hope you are all having some happy times Seth friends and/or family.

On Christmas Eve, there are two acceptable soaps: Christmas Eve and ‘Twas The Night Before. I have Christmas Eve, so that’s what I’m going with.

This is one of my all time favorite scents. I wrote my first review about this scent. It’s incredible and I love it every time.

Merry everything!

I saw ViaceralWatch yesterday and he had on The Night Before aftershave. It smelled pretty strong and great, but different than mine. It's just funny that I was like "whatcha wearing?" and it's something I own and should know we'll. Maybe he has different "chemistry".

I still haven’t tried ‘TTNB. Seems nice. I considered picking it up but feel so overloaded with soap right now.

  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Soap

  • Preshave: Water -> Face
  • Brush: Benny's 21mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Edwin Jagger DE89
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
  • Lather: The Goodfellas Smile Amber Fougère
  • Post Shave: Old Spice After Shave

I forgot to bring along a brush to my parent's place, so this one will have to do. A thoroughly mediocre shave.

Have a good day!

We had a store called Benny's when I was growing up. The type of place where you could buy fishing poles, bicycles, hardware, tools, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if they used to sell shaving brushes, but somehow I doubt it's the same brand.

Mine is Benny's of London, which adds a layer of sophistication that is otherwise not present in the brush

[-] walden@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 3 days ago

Oh, very fancy. Very glamorous.

I was kind of surprised that it was't Sir Benny's of London 🤣

[-] djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 3 days ago

Maybe Santa will bring a brush tonight?

I doubt that, but we'll see!
