SOTD 16-22 May 2021

ABOVE THE TIE / R-Plate
CHARCOAL GOODS / Stinger V1
WIZAMET (1)
SHAVEMAC / Ebonite-Sand
L’OCCITANE / Cade Rich Shaving Cream 

Massive THANK YOU to HighSpeed for sending me a generous sample pot of some of the “last of the best” shaving creams that have made their way through my bathroom! CADE in the 7oz tub container with the gold spoon was a stand alone cream!  Woodsy Herbal are the only words to describe this one.  You either know this scent or you don’t, NOTHING today smells like it.  CADE is wild juniper essential wood oils.  Juniper that is grown in PROVENCE, specifically the Provençal hillsides in the South of France along the Rhône

Turned on some music to start my day....

Welcome back Rob!  It's good to know you are well and a pleasure to see you posting again.  You already know I agree with you about the CADE.  No doubt L'Occitane had sound business reasons for discontinuing the tub, but its coming and going is one of the "places" I remember.  It's gone, and not for the better.

Thank You Mike! It was called RICH Shaving Cream for a reason, that gooey slickness jump started in my shave bowl immediately and the density gets better and better with each swirl.  Once I added water to your sample the scent went crazy!  It’s enjoyable to smell scents I haven’t for a number of years.  Thank You again!

Absolutely STUNNING Eltham handle! I was wondering when I would see one pop up in the SOTD! Do you like it? How is it to hold? Can you post an image of the bottom? I’d love to see the black enamel disc

Also been working on lathering differently after getting some notes from HoosierShave. It ain’t quite at his level, but we’re progressing. 


Ohhhh, you’ve got much better than that with your attention to detail Sir
