• Brush: Chisel & Hound “Spice Lily” - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm Synthetic
• Razor: Urkunet Assassin (2.0 plate)
• Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (3)
• Lather: Ariana & Evans - Barbiere di Famiglia Cipresso e Bergamot - Soap

• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner

Quick shave before a busy day. I think I prefer the 2.0 plate with this razor, and would probably like the 1.5 plate even more.

Congrats on the kill!

April 15th, 2026

• Brush: Chisel & Hound “Waterlily” - Chisel & Hound v29 Fanchurian 26mm Badger
• Razor: Urkunet Assassin (2.5 plate)

Another close shave with the Assassin. The 2.5 plate felt alright, but I think it’s more blade gap than I prefer.

Nice! I think I’ve smelled a sample of that. It’s a great scent!

April 14th, 2026: Tabac Tuesday

• Brush: Summer Break Soaps - Unbleached Zenith 28mm Boar
• Razor: Urkunet Assassin (2.0 plate)

• Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
• Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac Original - EdC

This was a great Tabac Tuesday shave.

This razor just arrived yesterday as part of a passaround, and my initial impression is very positive. It has relatively small blade exposure and relatively large blade gap. It’s a very efficient razor, I look forward to spending some more time with it.

I’ve only used it a couple of times, but so far I’ve enjoyed it quite a bit.

Definitely not as slick as CB prem, but better than a lot of vegan bases I’ve tried. Good scent strength as well.

I really like this Cipresso e Bergamot scent. Perfect for a sunny California morning.

Thanks! It was a great shave.

I saw that much of the east coast is expected to have record-breaking heat this week. Hope it isn’t too brutal in your neck of the woods.
