Thank you for watching. Please take a moment to like, comment, share and subscribe! It helps others find my videos. Products used in this shave are listed below:
• Tabac Original Shave Soap
• Gillette's Travel Ball End Tech Razor / Wilkinson Sword DE (2nd Use)
• Omega 10048 Badger Brush
• Fine Platinum Splash
FAQ #1: Why do you drag the razor over your face multiple times/multiple passes?
Answer: With traditional wet shaving the idea is beard reduction with every pass. We're not trying to get all of the growth off with one pass. Hopefully after the third pass, maybe including "touch-ups", you're able to get a BBS shave.
FAQ #2: What does BBS stand for?
Answer: BBS stands for Baby Bottom Smooth. Weird, right? It's the most accurate description, with a quick acronym, that I can come up with. (Most other wet shavers use this term as well)
FAQ #3: What do you do for work/a job?
Answer: I'm a network and server administrator for a private IT firm. If something goes bump in the night (or day) with a server, firewall, managed switch, etc., I'll be the one resolving it.
FAQ #4: Do I need a lot of stuff to start wet shaving?
Answer: Absolutely not. I started with Proraso's $10 tub of soap, a $20 badger brush, and used my cartridge razors until I worked up the courage to grab my first DE razor (a Van Der Hagen). This hobby can be expensive, if you let it, but a couple of good soaps/scents you enjoy, a brush, and an aftershave would work for most people starting out. Test the waters, find what you like, and try it! Happy wet shaving :)

Hey Tom. The scent on Tabac is the scent on Tabac 🙂 the post shave may be lacking but imo its just a great performing soap. I like it. Nice thick dense lather. Glad you enjoyed the shave with that tiny and mighty little razor. Tea is a nice coffee alternative but I love coffee 🙂 counting on the live shave. Have a fine day and a nice weekend Sir

I may have to do a mid-day shave since you're in Europe. I believe you are 5-6 hours ahead of us in the CST time zone. Tabac's performance cannot be discounted. The scent on the other hand... 😕 I'm between love and hate.. lol. Have a great weekend, G

I'm excited for the live shave! That'll be fun, and I'll be able to mess with you real time! 😆 Paid content, huh. So... Are you gonna start up an OF, or... ? 🤣 You could totally do an ASMR style video - creating the lather, applying the lather to your face and then getting the feedback from the razor. Get a microphone all up in there. Haha. That was a really nice shave. That's a nice little shaver. I do enjoy it. Tabac doesn't bother me so much. I like the floral scent; the powder would be my only gripe. I'm glad you enjoyed the razor. You're welcome. Thank you to Aleks for sending it to me. And thank you, TomTom, for being awesome and willing to do these reviews! 😊

I'd definitely be the first OF for wet shaving, so that's pretty neat! I've thought about getting a wireless mic that connected to my phone for audio, they aren't expensive, but I also don't know how I feel about an ASMR shave. I think I'd need a good bit of growth for it to be appealing. Not out of the question, though. Tabac is definitely a winner. I'm happy to be able to do these reviews, products I wouldn't have tried otherwise!

Gooooood morning!!! Isn't it freaking amazing the amount of history and stories that little guy keeps accruing?!... That's the beauty of vintage razors (anything really) imho. At any rate, for that reason I've gotten a few vintage razors meself and always found it pleasant to shave with them vintage Gillettes. And since LP was kind enough to shoot me all them goodies I'd figured it was absolutely necessary to deep dive in search for a rare jewel for our buddy LP 😎 I've got another mini Tech and a ...lady travel razor (name escapes me 🤦🏻‍♂️) but only reason I don't use them as much is my clumsy sausage fingers have a rough time holding on to them tiny things 😅 ...oddly enough, I do prefer smaller / lighter razors. Go figure. Tommy boy, if you enjoyed this one, I would encourage you to search for a Gillette Old type. You would love that one for sure ;) Cheers boys!!! Happy weekend. And yes I think Saturday works best! AG

Thanks, Aleks! I found another Travel Ball End Tech from 1964 in great condition (via pictures). I may try to get the price lowered a bit. I'll check out the razor you mentioned as well, Old Type. Happy Friyay and I'll schedule that live shave for next Saturday

Aleks was really awesome for sending that razor! Such a nice guy! I prefer short handles too. They're more maneuverable IMO. I kinda wanna find a regular Ball End Tech now.

@@linguaphile88 I would assume the normal sized one uses the same head? Maybe you'd just need a handle.

@@RealTalkThomas yes, all Gillette Techs are pretty much standard only variance is the handle size; older models like the Old Type and the Single ring models have a completely different handle style that screws within the handle ;D I'm quite frankly amazed they're still around after 100+ years 😲

Do you mean matcha? Because mochi is a rice dough that’s edible raw.

You're absolutely correct. I've been drinking the Green Tea w/ Matcha today and noticed the packaging says Matcha not mochi. Thanks for the catch, brother!
