I don't know about sitting strangely in the slim. That's what I use and haven't noticed anything like what you describe.

I have the two, and definitely gonna try it. But what does cade add to the mix? Except for awesome lather
Barbasol Floating Head Razor Gillette Silver Blue Semogue BC Mistura Institut Karite Soap Alum Tet-a-Tet ASB Most of my shaves are pretty good, but when I slow down and take my time, sometimes I get lucky with an exceptional shave. Today that was the case. The only unfortunate part of today is that my tube of Tet-a-Tet ASB is done.
That's exactly what Cade adds to the mix - awesome lather. I find the lather produced by TOBS to be less than I want. Cade adds the slickness and cushioning that changes the TOBS Rose from good to great.
6/8 Hart Mr Taylor SC homemade badger Very nice shave this morning, actually I haven't been shaving daily but about every other day and all shaves have been superb. I'll be flying out this afternoon and should be home this evening. It's been an enjoyable trip but I'm a poor tourist. Have a good one.

Red Reminder I roughed up my neck pretty good today. I think I was just going too fast with der Vorschlaghammer - the hubris of familiarity I suppose. Krampert’s Frostbite put out the fire nicely, especially when paired with HTGAM FrostByte lotion. I’ll have to take it easy tomorrow to let it heal. Prep: warm shower Soap: Seifenglatt Montpellier Brush: Brothers Bristles Black Badger Hybrid Handle Razor: Der Vorschlaghammer Blade: Voskhod (2) AS: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite, HTGAM FrostByte lotion
