  [*]Result: BBS shave today. Used the Cade SC and was not totally diasppointed. The cream mixed easily enough but the lather was more cushion than slick. Scent was nothing to write home about but not something that was really bad. I would rate the Cade as a middle of the road cream and not something that I would buy regularly. I got it in a lot that had a couple other creams that I really wanted.

 

Good Tuesday afternoon all...

Jagger Chatsworth w/ Gillette yellow
Semogue 1305
Tabac ss
Thayers Original WH w/ aloe
Anherb after shave gel
Tabac Edc

First day with the Semogue...I like the feel of it, I think I did not let it soak up enough water, but I know it takes time to really break it in...the Tabac is always terrific IMHO

 

I have been using the 300's. I will order the 301's next time around.

Anyone use Sharks?

Weishi w/Dorco ST300
Omega travel boar

A good shave today, but I don't know if I want to continue with the Bic blade. It seems to be a little harsh. The cooling and soothing effects from the Top Ten cream and Natural Products balm are wonderful.
