Twelfth Day of TabOKtoberfest - Belgian Travel Edition

Brush: Mühle Travel Brush
Razor: Dovo 41 Inox
Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original Stick
Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

Yesterday, I walked past “Au Grand Rasoir” (= “At the big razor”), a 200-year old cutlery shop with a decent wetshaving section. It’s right there, near my hotel, tempting me. I really don’t need to buy a Thiers Issard razor right now, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to walk past that window many times without going in, and then all bets are off 😅

Good shave this morning, The Stank Stick® is really good stuff, but I kinda wish I had brought a bigger brush. Maybe “Au Grand Rasoir” can help me with that?

Oh my, a brick and mortar store for wetshaving would be such a great experience. I’d say give it a go - even just for the fun of visiting one.

Btw, my app has some problems with PMs currently, unfortunately I can’t reply to any of your messages. But judging by the tracking link, your soap has reached Germany and could be here by the weekend!

    Unfortunate that the shop is closed 😔
    
    So, unfortunately I missed your package due to a shopping trip - but I can fetch it by 15:00 tomorrow from the shop just across the street! Thanks again.

    Yeah, I wasn’t taking no for an answer and came back 😅
    
    In looking forward to hear whether the soaps will work well for you!

Cutlery shops! Even though my son lives in Paris, I finally have a good reason to return to Europe.

Thiers Issard. Of course you need one :)

  I was easily convinced, of course, but I ran into trouble

  That sounds like you’re here regularly. Do you live in the region?

    Yeah, it’s close enough to visit over a weekend. Maybe not regularly, but we’ve enjoyed the trips we’ve taken.
