Success with Tabactober

In for November with Proraso Blue. I had quite a hard time to decide what I will use, but Proraso it is and if need be, the Nivea cream will pick up the slack. Regardless of what will happen this month, the Proraso tube is on until it is finished, so will the Nivea. Time to get that Soaps Finished list growing.

I’m into this. It will be my first attempt. I’ve been all over the board with soaps and other stuff so, It’ll be nice to settle down with one soap for a while. My soap of choice will be Tabac. I’ve used it from time to time but, I really want to get cozy with it. Most of this summer I used citrus types and, would come home from our journeys and couldn’t wait to get back to Tabac.

Declaring victory for November. I am skipping December in favour of a small rotation, but likely back in January or February.

Last shave for Tabac… at least for a while. I have enjoyed this soap, as I normally do but, I’m (my face) ready for some tallow. I said that I wanted to use MdC Rose for December but, I’m going to skip it. I have a few seasonal soaps that I’d like to put in rotation for December and therefore, will resume in January.
