Fabulous. How to describe the new scuttle? Perhaps "Where is my brush" fixes it pretty much. High recommended.

Not impressed with the soap. Seemed it was picky about the brush. Finally got the decent lather with the Shavemac but took a bit of time. Then when I thought th elather was good I applied to face and after a couple of minutes it was dry. Trust me I used plenty of water building up slowly. but the lather just did not last long. I'll try it again next time to make sure but I am not impressed. Other than that sweet BBS as always.

Thanks to a kind member on B&B, I got a sampler of the Ted Pella blades. The GEM shave was interesting, I had to fuss around more to get BBS-closeness because I didn't want to J-hook with it, but I also got much less irritation from the fussing around than I would with a DE. Will have to repeat shave with it and see how it works out. My main problem with it is I have no idea how to get under the nose effectively to lop off those whiskers.

Result: 4.5/5.0 I wasn't happy when I tried the Cade cream a few months ago a couple of times. So I set it aside. I went back to it today and immediately doubled the cream amount and used a big dense brush. I have changed my lathering technique since then and I got it to work fine today. I can see though this is not a cream to conserve with. I had enough for 4 passes plus I shaved my armpits. I have to work around a ingrown bump I got from the HD/Supermax combo I used a few days ago. Right in the middle of my neck on the left side. Hopefully that will be gone by the weekend. I posted my oral care items today. It's what I have been using for about a month now. Have a great weekend!

 

Rich:
I dont think it was the cream that gave you the trouble before.
You just didnt have the RIGHT brush

 

You're right. I didn't have the custom blue Shavemac then.

 

Sending August packing with a blast of limes~
