Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/new Sharp
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EdT

The same set-up as yesterday morning and I said I was going to use it again. The other day when I was lathering up with the Glacial Obsidian soap, within seconds the menthol effect jumped on me and my eyes were tearing from it. The longer the lather was on my face, the colder it felt and when I slapped on the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel, I felt a freezing sensation from it which lasted almost the whole morning - was it beautiful!

 

Yes sireee!

Shave of the day, menthol Monday

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog face wash

Soap/cream- Proraso green

Brush- The body shop Synthetic

Razor- Gillette slim adjustable(3)

Blade- Astra SP

Post- Cold water rinse, Speick for men and Nivea aftershave balm

Menthol Monday with Proraso today. I really like the chill proraso gives. 2 pass shave WTG and some touch ups.

I did something new in the post shave routine. I squeezed the leftover lather from the brush and applied to face, I left it there while cleaning up and then rinsed with cold water. The chill from the menthol got much stronger and I loved it =D

I usually rinse the residual lather off of my face with warm water and then do my cold water rinse to close the pores. I will be doing this from now on, at least with menthol soaps/creams.

 

Menthol Monday
A very easy, smooth and comfortable shave this morning. FrostByte is a top three soap for me because of the cold, tea tree oil, and ease of use. Krampert's Finest Frostbite is an excellent compliment for skincare and keeping the chill going for at least half an hour.

Prep: warm shower
Soap: Synergy FrostByte
Brush: HIS XL
Razor: iKon ShaveCraft 101
Blade: Personna lab blue (3)
AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite

 

How do I duplicate my sotd post over to here?

 

Menthol Monday:

Gatsby Ice Cooling Gel Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/new Sharp
Synergy Frost_byte SS
444 AS Balm
Osage Rub AS
Pino Silvestre EdT

Just thinking about all these items is enough to almost cause me to start shivering because every one of them is damned cold. That Gatsby facial wash gives a hell of a menthol wallop, especially after it's been on your face for a minute or two. After the Stirling Glacial soaps, I'd say the Frost_byte is my second coldest soap and it's very well-named because the menthol sensation is really powerful, and it gives awesome lather and skincare. There aren't too many other balms which give the cooling and soothing effect that the 444 gives, and the Rubby Dubby Doo is in a class by itself for iciness!

 

9/29/2014 Menthol Monday! Woo Hoo!! Badger Brush Week

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: Muhle R41 2011, Wade & Butcher Bow straight razor
Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Black Badger 19mm knot from Ace Shaving
Soap: Yeti Snot
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva classic Ice Blue
Cologne: Pure Distance M

For Menthol Monday!! I finished up the Yeti Snot sample that I won in a PIF. This has been the coldest shave soap that I have used so far. The R41 and the W&D Bow had no trouble with mowing down the 2 days of stubble. The AV kept the chill going and the Pure Distance M will have me smelling great all day.

Have a blessed day!

Tonight's Menthol Monday Madness...

Pre: Hot water
Razor: English Tech
Blade: Personna Lab
Soap: Stirling Glacial Spearmint
After: Osage Rub

YOUCH! This was my first time trying a glacial soap. I didn't know what I was in for. Not sure how I feel about it. Didn't hate it, but not sure that I liked it. lol

 

I know the feel bro hahaha

 

Menthol Monday:

Gatsby Ice Cooling Gel Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/new Sharp
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EdT

When you use this kind of set-up it almost feels like you need to wear a fur coat because that's how cold it is. The Gatsby facial wash is so mentholated that it's stronger than some soaps and creams which I have. The Glacial Wintergreen soap can make your eyes tear as well as freeze your face off, and its scent is great. The lather is easy to work with if you add a little extra water. The matching witch hazel is the absolute Mother of All Face-Freezing Aftershaves - it's wonderful, and I love it.

 

6 October requires a Menthol shave!
