Brush: Semogue 1800
Razor: GEM Flying Wing
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
Lather: Maurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Soap
Post Shave: Brut - Splash On
Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Inspired, for once, by @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social's Tabac Tuesday. I can confirm that this lather (tallow) was good looking, and slick to boot.

Tabac Tuesday 07 Jan 2025

Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
Razor: Dovo Bismarck 2 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
Blade: Feather New Hi-Stainless
Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

The first Tabac Tuesday of 2025 is in the books and I bask in the glory of the Stank®

I must be about half-way through this puck of veggie Tabac, and I miss the tallow base. The vegan base isn't bad in any way, it's still a very slick soap, and the Stank® is on point, but I prefer the denser lather I used to get from the tallow base over this slightly fluffy lather. Of course I'm wondering now whether I'm just misremembering the tallow base. I'll find out after this puck is done.
