Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle,
Razor Master Pete (Bay Rum),
Lutz Slant,
Astra Superior Platinium 5e x,
Jan's Bay Rum,
Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü,
Loris E-162 Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb.
Brush and soap:
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle and Razor Master Pete (Bay Rum):
Another Razor Master, the Pete (Bay Rum), which I'm starting to find more pleasant, when it comes to the smell. With the Vulfix 404 Grosvenor mixed Badger and Boar Bristle whipped up and a nice bowl of thick lobed fat foam. The scents of those soaps aren't all that convincing, but they all foam fine and when the scents come off, it's all right.
Blade and razor:
The Astra Superior Platinium for the 5th time used.
The Astra Superior Platinium behaves completely according to expectation and has reached my 5 standard. Now still 3x? In the Lutz Slant the Astra Superior Platinium forms a smooth and secure shaving combination, so beautiful again.
Result: BBS.
Finally: finishing in line with Jan's Bay Rum, Naturlife Krem Vazelin Argan Ve Aloevera Özlü Loris E-162 and Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb. Nice and smooth again.

Quite extraordinary shave as far as I’m concerned. First use of Tabac cream from the late fifties, early sixties. This tube was new and unused up until now.
MKeramiek bowl
Yaqi 26mm red marble synthetic
Vintage Tabac cream
I. Boland Liége 46 1/4
Vintage Tabac aftershave
As you can see, even after nearly 60 years the stuff works like it’s new!
The scent is just excellent, almost cologne like. Other properties like glide, cushioning, lathering are very good still as well.
Only thing is there are small lumpy bits in there, but they seem to disappear in the bowl when lathering.
Topped this very enjoyable 3 pass shave off with Tabac aftershave from the same era.
