Too bad you don't have any....

Tabac Soap and Gillette HD500 turned up today so would be rude not to try them out.

I put the day 3 Merkur blade from my Merkur HD into the HD500 and lathered up some Tabac. One quick 'against the grain' shave and a splash of Tabac aftershave later and Vinny is a happy fella.
