This was a Tabactober break for a tallow-based lather with a scent at least as aggressive as Tabac. :)
Have a good one.

I completely forgot about Tabactober. Very happy to see it being kept alive!

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Great shave for the fourth episode of my 14 Shoot-out series. This synthetic edge on the Friodur 14 produced excellent results with performance and feel that I'm very experienced with. While the edge feel is familiar, edge performance was terrific, giving me a DS-BBS shave with comfortable post-shave skin-feel.

I love the CFG standard base. Just have to load it heavy and dry. This was the end of my Bespoke #1 sample and I want a full tub of it.
CFG base is stupid easy to use. Heavy, dry, just a touch of water and you're coasting.
