A reader strongly advised me to try Taconic Bay Rum shaving cream, so I did. It makes a very nice lather. The cream is stiff enough so that I could load my brush much as I do with soap, though of course it was easier: brushing the cream with a wet brush until the lather indicates the brush is loaded.
The bay rum fragrance was nice but light, and the shave was quite good: the cream offers excellent slickness and cushion. With the Eros Slant still holding its original Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge blade, I easily achieved BBS in three passes.
A good splash of Saint Charles Shave Refined aftershave, and the weekend begins.
