well everyone is different but i would not have shoulders the day after chest, i find i hit shoulders pretty good on chest day especially when doing incline movements. i always found that when bulking less is more when it comes to training. i keep my workouts very simple, short and to the point while bulking and give no less then 48 hours before hitting a muscle again, that means indirectly as well. i do three on, one off most of the time and find i works very well when adding weight. i will list one of my very basic splits below, it will give you ample rest because it keeps you from working a muscle too much by hitting it indirectly with other body parts. hope it helps and good luck!

day 1; c/s/t
day 2; l
day 3; b/b/f
 
Jesus, way too much shoulder work. That routine just really looks homemade and doenst make much sense. Better to stick to tried and true routines.

Let me ask you this:

What are your goals?
What are your current stats- weight, height, bodyfat?
What are your current maxes on deads, squats, and bench?
Do you have lagging bodyparts?


Knowing the answers would make it easier to assess where your at and where to go from there.
 
x2 on estray's comment. Just from glancing over your routines, current and proposed, you look to be heading right towards overtraining hell. Answer the hit's estray asked and you should be able to get better feedback.
