I couldn't tell you why, but for some reason I really get a kick out of "National Shaves"...
So yesterday a got a nice little package of Tabac Shave Soap in the matching bowl (a great deal at Fragrancex.com...free shipping worldwide just can't be beat, man...) and I thought "Hey! New soap from Germany, new razor from Germany! I've even got me a German brush! So put them all together, and I got a fantastic shave...
The Tabac is...Tabac. An exceptional soap, with superb lather and (in my opinion) a great scent. I've had the stick for a while but I figured I'd try the puck out, and it did not at all disappoint. Easy, slick, protective...everything a man could want in a shave soap.
The Revisor shaves like a madman. A great edge on a gorgeous big blade. It shaves smooth and easy...as good as it looks. I really do like those gents in Solingen and their work...
Even my aftershave, the Nivea, is German (Nivea being headquartered in Germany)...and there you go. A shave from the Fatherland! It tickles me so much to have the whole deal. I wish I could get some good Japanese creams or soaps, to match the fantastic steel and strop...
AND, of course, the rocks. The beautiful, beautiful rocks...

ReplyDeleteI can't tell you the number of times I've had that thought.
Wasn't there supposed to be some sort of tea-based soap sold by Kamisori Club? Did you ever try it out?
