Oh, and the postman just dropped off my Tabac. Decided to get some of that since it seems to have following on here.

My recommendation:

Gillette Red Tip SS
Derby Blades
Proraso Cream
Clubman AS
Omega Badger

I advised the Clubman because you didn't have Lilac Vegetal on the list.
 
I'd say if its been a couple of days

1) get the boar out for the scrub, the roughness will help get into the rough beard.
2)try out the tabac
3)use the adjustable, turn it way up for the first pass wtg to hack away the extra growth, then dial it back down for a close comfy shave
4)pick whichever of those blades you feel is sharpest. for example, i find feathers only give me a comfortable shave when its 2 or more days of growth, otherwise i'm getting a facial peel. My bluebirds are painful to use if growth is more than 3 days.
5)As, use a splash like clubman, once it dries throw on some of the nivea balm.

I was going to recommend the same thing.

I haven't used a Red Tip but do have an SS. I've never used Proraso because the menthol but it seems to be the best option on your list. And clubman just smells good so go with that. :wink2:
