Gotta getcha someAnd Nivea fever sweeps the Cadre...
At least it's easy enough to get on the bay, although would be cheaper if in the statesGreat stuff Dave, glad to hear that you were finally able to get the lather dialed in with the Ballaclaugh! I wish they would start selling that 2-in-1 over in the states!
Absolutely agreeGlad you got the Ballenclaugh dialed in. I think it is a pretty darn good soap...maybe not the absolute best...but that is a scent I really like and the rest of the soap is pretty good too! It's actually a pretty good value at $16.00 for 5.5 oz. Well, at least a better value than some that have been coming out lately!
You !! I'm shocked you are wanting a soap of all things !!!!!Great read Dave, I am also being tempted by that soap and wanting a purchase!
Maybe it was my mad shaving skills and the moisturizing of the soap. I calls them as I sees them.Alright alright, we need a supreme court of the cadre to give official opinions on products. I feel the 2 in 1 is very drying, you say moisturizing. So I'm now curious what made us each come to the conclusion we did. I did feel it resulted in an extremely smooth skin. And it does soak in/evaporate totally, so there is no stickiness at all left. I figure I'm basing my judgement of it being drying to the skin on that there is no feeling of a lotion or anything. I suppose I would have to NOT apply something after it and see how my skin felt hours later. Interesting also you felt no sting, I'll have to give it a shot on a rougher shave. Since it disappears so quickly and gets so cold, I have to assume that's the result of alcohol.
Proraso is good stuffI must be missing out. I skipped on the Nivea craze even though it was highly recommended when I first started. Oh well.... Did use their shave cream for a bit but still prefer proraso green in a tube. Oh minty fresh.
Thanks Josh ! Actually enjoying all the scents (4) I got of Storybook Soapworks now.Nice stuff Dave! I enjoyed Hallward's Dream as well,...good stuff!
ThanksLOL, a personal antique shopper sounds fun. By the way, that's a short comb NEW.

Aftershave 1: Humphrey’s Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Storybook Soapworks Hallwords Dream
After the great shave yesterday I thought to myself, Self, let’s do another. Have 3 new to me Storybook Soapworks Sets to add to Hook so after seeing so many enjoying Hallwords Dream I went with it. It smells like………………….heck I don’t know. I’ll leave that to you professionals but I did dig the scent and enjoyed the shave. Shave #8 on the GSB and it may have more in it but I like new sharp blades and binned it after the shave. The aftershave dried down nice the way I like so as Tim of the Crated Milk Clan would say everything was, “Right as Rain”. Hope everyone in the Cadre has had a good day and a better evening !!
