I want a scuttle like that.....

The person who makes it lives near me. She has a nice studio and does nice work. She is also willing to customize the scuttle in a number of ways. Mine's standard.

Merkur Futur, Personna Red, Proraso Green Tub, Proraso Splash.

Sometimes the simple things....

Muhle R41 with a Feather blade and a Simpsons Duke 3 loaded with TOBS Sandalwood. The cream's scent is pretty strong and combined with a little aftershave lasts a good eight hours. Nothing else needed.

 

[Gregg Axley]

I've never tried TOBS version of Sandalwood.
The one I've got from D.R. Harris has lasted over a year, and I've still got half a bottle. It's oil based.
Once I get through the Marlborough soap, I'll use the wooden bowl for a TOBS soap.

I'm a big fan of all things TOBS. I either have currently, or have had every cream scent they offer, top marks! I have a few backups of the Sandalwood on reserve. Need to stockpile for the Shavepocalypse don't ya know.......

 

[Gregg Axley]

Great idea.
Oh sure I have food and water, but I'd look awful if I didn't shave!
I have an image to protect.

I didn't specify and I didn't include it in the picture, but the TOBS Sandalwood I used is their cream. I only have one of the "3Ts" soaps and that's my Geo F. Trumper's Sandalwood. I use a lot of TOBS, T&H, and Trumper's creams and they all work well for me.

June 12

Homemade brush, TGN 24mm super badger knot, hand turned handle. Tabac soap, lathered in Moss scuttle,Vintage Grand Shave King razor with Feather blade, Alum block, Thayers witch hazel and finally Tabac aftershave, the wife likes Tabac.

 

[litework]

Yesterday was a Tabac trio day for me. Today I used my Emperor 2 with Trumper's Lime shaving cream. I used a Mergress XL razor loaded with Feather blades. I finished with SCS's Blue Line after shave and Trumper's Extract of Limes.

I have been trying to use up all the cream samples that I have accumulated over the two years that I've been wetshaving.

Today I started into a sample of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Jermyn Street, their "sensitive" shaving cream. It's quite nice, like the other TOBS creams. I thought it would be scentless, but it is not.

Anyway, on to the shave:

Razor: Gillette English Aristocrat #66
Blade: Lord Platinum
Brush: Rooney 3/1 Super in Tortoiseshell
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
A/S: TOBS Victorian Lime (also a sample)
Cologne: D. R. Harris Arlington

 

[rmrdaddy]

I like all of the Barbershop scents TOBS offers. I'm biased anyway, I know, but Jermyn St, Eton College, St. James, all wonderful.
