So went on a shopping trip to Mustafa’s to pick up on a few odds and ends and some stuff for shaving.
First and foremost :
A 200ml (6.8 oz) Bottle of Tabac in preparation of the incoming soap, cost S$15.50 (US$11.30)
Yeah, I could get the Tabac goop in a can which was actually going for cheap, about S$4 (US$2.90) but nah, waiting for the proper soap to come in.
I know this is a polarizing scent but like its greener cousin Irish Moos, it’s old school and there’s something about old school barbershop scents that just makes me smile.
I almost picked this up as well but decided against it as I have more then enough razors and being a cheap Gillette Tech knockoff, I already have one of these.
Though, next time I am there I might just pick up one to keep “just in case” I feel the need to go full budget shave and my old one is broke or something.
If you are in Singapore though, this would be a good starting razor. As the Gillette Tech is a mild but very efficient DE razor and for only S$2.50 (US$1.80) you could do a lot worse.
And finally those very nifty lock tight containers that I use all the time for soap pucks.
Just cut and stick the box label to the cover with double-sided tape to know what’s inside. Though, with the Palmolive its easy even without doing this due to its unique scent.
Anyways, since the soap is in stick form, I grated two of my Palmolive sticks into it and use it as I would a soap bowl. Allowing of course for the soap to dry out before putting the air tight cover back on.
Cost is about S$2.50 (US$1.80) so I got a few as I also have Mitchel’s Woof Fat coming in later, maybe this week or next … covid delays.
