Despite the freewheeling, out-in-the-open quality of New Orleans culture, with its proliferation of street music and open-air activity, there are some places in the city's renowned Vieux Carre that tease passersby with their unwillingness to be seen. They are the secluded gardens of the French Quarter, which lie behind wrought-iron gates, at the end of narrow alleys, over high walls; their reticence tempts every visitor to try to look inside. Roy Guste, Jr., is something of a New Orleans celebrity: he is a member of the family that has owned the city's most famous restaurant, Antoine's, and for many years was its proprietor. He is the perfect host, then, for a tour of some of the city's hidden jewels. The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carre allows you to go behind the barriers and experience the French Quarter's beautiful gardens firsthand, getting a glimpse of true, elegant New Orleans lifestyle. The book takes the reader on a tour of twenty of the most gorgeous gardens in the Vieux Carre, the city's oldest neighborhood. The climate of New Orleans is near-tropical, and so are its gardens: here, in photographs by the author and noted New Orleans photographer Glade Bilby, you will see fig trees, jasmine, gingers, Japanese plum trees, wisteria, and bougainvillea, set in gardens that give the appearance of laxity but, on closer inspection, reflect great attention to detail. The French- and Spanish-style houses and courtyards are all poignant bits of history, and as he leads you through the gardens, Guste offers descriptions of both their aesthetic beauty and their documented past. The Secret Gardens of the Vieux Carre' is the perfect book for anybody who wants to penetrate some of the mosttreasured and well-kept mysteries of this beautifully mysterious city.

Smooth, comfortable, effective and aesthetic
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a fantastic shaving cream that is the perfect texture for a nice clean shave. I switched from a shaving gel because I didn’t like the texture of a thick cream that seemed to protect the skin but almost too well preventing a smooth razor clean shave but this one by Jack Black is my new favorite. I also appreciate the packaging with the pump dispenser which releases the perfect amount of product for me. It does have a “cooling” effect that some may not prefer but my skin is comfortable, perfectly shaved (no patches) and ready for anything else I use (SPF 50+ daily)

Never used anything nearly as good.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing stuff; have never used any shaving cream/gel that is this slick or gives a better shave. I wet shave with a Panasonic ARC 6 electric razor and the results are outstanding. An extremely comfortable shave. I don't use a blade but I would expect similar results.

beard lube. sounds weird. lube. beard lube. im a shaving cream shaver. or at least i was. i got a sample pack type grooming kit for xmas last year. used the cologne and the lotion in it and it was good stuff. didnt use the 'beard lube' though. thought it was silly or something. just used my plain old shaving cream. little more info on me: my neck is f'ed up as far as how the hair grows. some grows up, some grows down...sideways..its all over the place. i get ingrown hairs and red bumps on my neck after shaving quite often because of this. it sucks. so one day i unfortunately ran out of my beloved shaving cream. faced with not shaving, shaving with some hand soap or using the 'lube' i went with the lube. i went with the lube. figured i had nothing to lose. . the beard lube makes a difference. its different to shave with. its not thick like a shaving cream. its almost like theirs nothing there. it doesnt take much either. and its clear. so when your shaving, its almost like theres nothing there. anyway, i used it that day and afterwards my neck wasnt red. none of the usual bumps. hmmmm....i tried it again the next time i shaved. same results. soon after the sample bottle ran out. oh well..back to the standard shaving cream. and the return of the red bumps and all that. a quick trip to amazon and im ordering up more beard lube. couple days later its here and my shavings changed forever. does it cost more than regular shaving cream? yes. can i pick it up at the local grocery store? no. is it worth it? yes. when this bottle runs out, ill buy another. possibly 2 so i wont have to order again so soon. bottom line is, it makes a difference. if you have sensitive skin and problems like i described above, then this might be worth trying. even if you dont, you should try it. its good stuff. . shave on brothers....shave on.....

A bit expensive but very good product.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I like that this goes on clear. No need to remove shave cream or gel at bottom of beard line with my finger do I can see where to shave. Tapping razor after rinsing to get hair out is easier than with other products. Everything comes out after tapping razor on sink. Very little irritation. Skin becomes looser with age, but beard stays the same so it's harder to get close shaves. This is these best product so far. A little goes a long way.

Great cream for a smooth, nick free shave
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I shaved (using a double edge safety razor) for the first time this morning using the Jack Black beard lube and was very impressed. It's a cream, not a soap, so you don't have to whip it up first or use a brush. Just wet your beard with warm water and rub in the beard lube. It only takes a small amount and the lube is very slick. My shave was very smooth and nick free. Nice scent also. It goes on nearly clear, but I didn't find this to be a problem as have some other reviewers. I only shave my fairly coarse beard every other day, so it was easy to spot where I had applied the lube. Not cheap, but an excellent product which should last a long time since only a small amount is needed each time.
