    Oh man, am I ever going to have fun while freezing my face off - everything I'll be using is so intensely-cold. The Neutrogena facial wash is downright chilly with a nice scent, it leaves the skin feeling so clean and refreshed. The Glacial Lemon Chill is one of my top-favourite soaps because it smells wonderful, it lathers so easily, and the menthol effect pulverizes your face right away. This soap also has a perfect post-shave feeling which is so important. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel are hard to match for frigid, comfortable skincare after a shave. ;) :D

    I enjoyed my shave with the Glacial Lavender soap so much yesterday that I decided to use it again tomorrow. This stuff has such an awesome blend of powerful menthol and refined, classy lavender, it gives great lather with a crazy-cold menthol effect like all the Glacial soaps give, and you can't beat the skincare. The Gold Bond moisturizer is another terrific face-freezer which protects against dryness and irritation, and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel as I've said before is the most powerfully-mentholated aftershave I've ever used. ;) :D

    I missed Menthol Monday, so this is Menthol Tuesday.

    IMG_1112.JPG

    Prep: Warm shower, Anthony Logistics Glycolic Face Wash
    Lather: Proraso
    Brush: Badger & Blade Essential Boar
    Razor: Gillette NDC Super Speed
    Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium #1
    Post: Cold Rinse, Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer

    I've been wetshaving for more than a year, but this was my first shave using Proraso. I completely underestimated this one. Incredible cushion and glide, great mild scent, and amazing menthol chill. The Essential Boar whipped up an incredible lather.

    It just can't get any colder than this because this is the Mother of All Menthol Freezes in every way you can imagine. The Neutrogena facial wash packs a damned good icy wallop, the Glacial Obsidian has that ultra-potently frigid sensation which seems to become more intense the longer it's on your face, and the Gold Bond moisturizer contributes very nicely to the experience. A couple of good slaps of the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel will bring "tears of joy" to your eyes afterwards. ;) :D

    I decided to partake in menthol Monday. It was very simple but very menthol. Razor was a Merkur loaded with an Astra SP, Proraso green and Omega boar brush. Finished up with a little Nivia sensitive balm to keep out the dry winter and finally a healthy splash of Alcolado glacial. COOL!

    Not as bone-chilling as the other set-ups I usually select for a Menthol Monday Shave but still bone-chilling enough. It's going to be extremely uncomfortably cold here tomorrow so I feel that a Glacial soap might be a bit too much, but the MITA is very generous with its menthol effect and does it ever lather beautifully. The Gold Bond moisturizer is surprisingly cold as well, and once again the Aqua Velva has proven itself to be an aftershave which is necessary in my rotation at all times. Out with the Dorco, in with a new SuperMax Blue. ;) :D
