I see those Big Bens...how are they with the Maggard? Your comments about them have been thought provoking of late.
SOTD Menthol Monday, December 15, 2014 Prep: Hot-Warm Shower, Neutrogena Face Wash Razor: Late 40s Gillette Super Speed Blade: Astra SP - #3 Brush: Whipped Dog Silvertip - 30 X 55mm - Maiden Voyage Lather: TSD Shave Stick - Iced Barber Shoppe Post: Alum Stick, Aloe Vera Toner, Witch Hazel+, Gold Bond Green Lotion Aftershave: Fine - American Blend Face lathered the TSD Shave Stick with my new brush. Larry @ WD did an outstanding job setting the 30 X 65mm silvertip knot deep. This brush is very soft with a rigid backbone. It, pardon the pun, whipped up a frosty lather in seconds. The Iced Barber Shoppe was very cool on this Menthol Monday. Hope everyone has/had a great shave today. Go for it. Today!
Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/7 AM day 7 Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Polo Original EdT There aren't too many set-ups as intensely cold as this one, trust me. The Neutrogena face wash has plenty of menthol in it and it's very cleansing and skin-friendly, with a nice scent. Now for the heavy artillery: The Glacial Obsidian soap's lather is a pleasure to work up, and its menthol power pulverizes your face just about on contact so by the time you finish your first pass you start wondering if you'll be able to do a second pass. The Gold Bond moisturizes and soothes sensitive skin so well in addition to providing a lot of extra cooling. The Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel is colder than the Rubby Dubby Doo and the Penguin combined!
22 December 2014 Menthol Shave I have not used a Gillette 195 in some time so I corrected that today along with the Zen Shave brush.
menthol Monday I used iced pink grapefruit from TSD, paired with Crusellas&co naranja (Orange) cologne
Menthol Monday! 22 December 2014 Brought out the big guns for menthol Monday...you all already know how cold this shave was...I enjoyed it just like last week! Happy Monday!
Like a January night on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago try Stirling Glacial Obsidian followed by Hungarian Barbon after shave. That should hold you.
Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Shark day 7 Godrej Menthol Mist SC Anherb AS Osage Rub AS Dolce & Gabbana EdT Not quite as frigid as most other Menthol Monday Shaves but still frigid enough. The Godrej Menthol Mist is one of my favourite creams, because it smells nice, lathers so easily and richly. The skincare is also pretty good. The Anherb conditioner gives lots of extra cooling, together with perfect soothing and protection against irritation or dryness. The Rubby Dubby Doo needs no description - it's awesome!
