I'm another one who finds my experience with Cade to be exactly opposite of your experience. It's actually my #3 soap, behind Martin de Candre...
Scent wise, I like both Arko & Speick, but I think I have to give a slight nod to the Speick... Not that's it's all that much better, but it's...
Or, superglue a thumbtack to it. :rolleyes:
Hope you love the shave as much as I love my old type.
Of course VDH lathers easily... The primary ingredient is Propylene Glycol (main ingredient in "pet safe anti-freeze for your car" and contains...
Thats the thing... it's not a short term killer, but a long term killer of the DE blade. Since the vast majority of DE blades are marketed to...
Just tried MdC for the firs time tonight. I loaded my 17 year old "best badger" with 10 swirls of soap (5 CW, 5 CCW) with very light pressure...
Of course it's only made for the "emerging markets"... Places where DE razors and blades are still very popular. Put out a cheap razor, cut...
Rotation is fine, however, be aware that many soap might be a bit "dried out" for lack of a better word, when you get them, and it might take 5 or...
re: Poor quality lather... I think the problem with a *lot* (but not ALL) products marketed to the "vegan/organic/natural" community is that...
Have you tried the Personna Med Pre or Lab blades? Both are made in the USA and *far* superior to the other US made Personna blades that you may...
No, I think that was resolved a few days ago.
The Goals aren't half-bad, but the sample pack I got some goals in also included Shark super chromes, and as soon as I got to that, I ordered 50...
Get an electric hot water kettle, about $12 at walmart, target, etc. Works great, and can rinse your razor with boiling water after the shave...
Same here, although I don't find either product to be particularly moisturizing. If I had to pick one or the other, however, it would be the Cade.
Actually, in my experience, creams usually have a stronger scent. Creams, because they contain much more water and are already soft and because...
I think most lathering problems are due to water hardness. I have no "problems" lathering any soap, however even with 0 PPM water hardness with...
I've got an old-type like this (except the head is pristine) It's actually a wonderful shaver with a Shark super chrome or Personna Med Prep
Start maybe 50/50... Just soaking the razor in hot *distilled* water will also eventually remove lime buildup... Depending on how much buildup...
Io would be careful with CLR as the acid is quite strong and the tiniest plating defect could allow the acid to start eating out the cheap zinc...
