What soap/cream did you use today?

Ah, back to my own pile of fancy creams and lotions!  Hawaii was fun, and I’d shave with Dove again to get back there, but it’s nice to get home to my own bed and shaving choices.  This morning, 88 Chestnut Street from Declaration seemed like a logical choice.  Super bright and citrusy but with a darker bottom end.  Sort of a nod to both the islands and business.  Love them both.  

Eufros Fougère shaving soap. As with some others of Manuel's soaps, I felt sort of equivocal about this one at first but like it a lot now as I've used it more.

Cade Cream (L’Occitane) faint cedar
Shave 2 ・ 146 g left

L’Occitane has no business calling this cade. They know what that’s supposed to smell like – reeking with smoke and filled with sappy notes, cade is a dark, penetrating woody scent that’s certainly not for the light-hearted. But L’Occitane’s latest version of this Cade shaving cream is nothing like that. It’s just a breezy little confection made up of faint whiffs of cedar, apricot, and whipping cream. Not bad, but from an olfactory point of view, probably better suited for leg shavers. The lather isn't what I expected, either. It’s slick, that’s true, but it’s also thin, airy, and it dries fast. Now remarkably – and in spite of all these shortcomings – I got a really good shave today. Most of the credit, though, is due to the razor. The Rockwell 6S is a perfect combination of gentleness and efficiency. It works as well with the heavy lathers as it does with the wispy ones. Load it up with a Tatra Platinum blade (thanks for the tip, HoosierShave), and you’ve got the makings for an effortless shave.
