Hello friends
Hot and rainy Saturday here. After a few months I returned to the magnificent Tabac. Semogue SOC Mistura, my favorite brush was fantastic, as always. My little great friend Il Piccolo and the Gillette Nacet (8) on its eighth OBIF shave were immaculate. It looks like this blade still has a way to go…
With us this weekend, Jack Sheldon with his throaty voice.

Semogue Spanish Shavers LE Mistura
I’ve had my 830 since 2015 but haven’t used it. I just never got the hang of it. A couple of years ago, I tried breaking it in by just using it consistently but never could get a decent lather. Did some looking on here. I have been soaking it in cold water while I’m in the bath and then drying it on a towel afterwards. Wish me luck, going to give it a try tomorrow for this.
Any tips or suggestions? Recommended soap/cream?
*fwiw, I’ve never had trouble making lather from synthetic, badger, or horse.
