Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Wizamet (1)
Brush: Trotter Handcraft "Scoville"
Soap: Talbot Cades Cove
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Talbot Cades Cove
Fragrance: ???
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 977

One of my wife's FAVORITE places is Cades Cove in the Smokey Mountains. We've been thru it more times than I can count in a car, on a motorcycle and even hay rides. I have pedal biked it at midnight with friends when there was a full moon and had Black Bear and coyote run across the path as we were riding. Just a beautiful area and the most visited place in the Smokey's. So when I saw this set getting rleased I knew I had to get it even though I have been halting soap purchases of late and pairing down the inventory. The scent is described well as:

"So, this Cade’s Cove aroma embraces the ambience of the Great Smoky Mountains. This valley in Tennessee is represented by green grassy notes and honeysuckle on a woody, musky base."

This is a BEAUTIFUL scent and always a top level performing soap and splash. Just a great shave. The Bread Lame slice was reopened during the shave but settled down quicker than yesterday and will heal fine........eventually. Have an adventurous day Folks !

Sounds like some nice rides Dave.
   Honeysuckles are nice out along a highway. We had some on a curve up ( Honeysuckle curve) this way until the hwy authorities decided they needed gone.
   I bet that is a pleasant smell for a soap

I bought some of the AS because I love Maol and this one looked like a great combination. Looking forward to trying it.

I'm just thinking about buying. But not soap (I didn't see much difference between Talbot V2 AND V3). I think about aftershave. I have several Maol (I like it very much). But Maol V2 is very great. He impressed me a lot.

Yeah I'm a little fussy about my aftershaves and it hits the mark perfect for me. When I'm out working in the Sun and start sweating it doesn't feel like I'm sweating Grease.
