    Travel Tubac Tubesday

    Tubes of Tabac creme and aftershave balm standing next to an E-bar leaning on the handle of an ESC Medium Jock handle in front of a decorated bathroom wall.

    • Razor: Ever-Ready Natural Angle (E-Bar)
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
    • Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock
    • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Cream
    • Post shave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original aftershave balm

    First of a few travel shaves in merry old England, and I brought my made in England E-bar for the occasion. I’m not sure the brush is made here, but at least its branding is from Scotland.

    Happy Tabac Tuesday, everyone!

      What do you think of the E bar? For me it’s the worst of the GEMs I’ve tried. Way too mild and pretty inefficient

        Oh, really? Mine’s definitely not inefficient. I prefer Micromatics because they have the coolest mechanism in shaving technology, but I don’t see any fault in how the E-bar shaves.

        I think my Flying Wings might be milder, and I like those, too.

        I can’t get excited about the E-bar because it’s a bit boring, though.

              At some point. I should probably just buy one for my collection…

                Fair warning: it is remarkably unremarkable. That being said, I bought one for the exact same reason :D

                I’m happy to lend you mine if you want to try, just don’t expect anything mindblowing.

                  Thanks! I’d take you up on it if it wasn’t for the fact that for a bit more than the price of transatlantic shipping I can buy myself one. I don’t feel too compelled to buy a new razor right now, but when the urge strikes it’s good to know what I can look at.

          I’ve the sexy gold version. Still not my favourite. I liked my 1912 best
