Sixteenth Day of TabOKtoberfest - Midway Point edition
- Brush: Mühle Travel Brush
- Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
Halfway through TabOKtoberfest and Stanksgiving is nigh. Modern Thiers Issards have the reputation of having geometry issues, but this Dandy spent a few minutes on my finishing stone and its edge is now a singing joy to use. The shank is a bit on the thin side, which gives me a feeling of reduced control, which is a small nit I’m picking with this design.
Anyway, it’s good to be home with the full-sized Tabac software range, full-size strop, and full-size bathroom. Have a great week, friends!

What are you using for a travel strop. I’ve traveled with one of my bench strops, a full-size strop, and no strop (current trip) where I thought I’d be clever and use denim from jeans. I won’t use the denim approach again.

I’m using this soft little 5 cm wide strop. It’s supple and cheap enough that I don’t worry about folding the leather. I have travel with full size strops before, but this is not a bad alternative.

OK. Thanks! Tony Miller (Heirloom Razor Strop Co.) is here in MD. I think I’ll contact him and see if he will make me a travel strop similar to yours.
