Menthol Monday!

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Personna lab blue (3)
Razor: Vintage Gillette Slim on setting 5
Brush: Trader Joe's synthetic
Lather: Proraso Green shaving soap
Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero splash, Soap Commander Integrity balm with menthol
WTG, touch-up

Well, I had my personal version of a @crackstar experience today! It was personal in that it's not the menthol level of some of the TSD members, but it was pretty cold for me!

I enjoyed this combination of goods and look forward to next Monday's dip in the cold!

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
Diana Menthol Balm
Barrister & Mann Arctique AS
Grey Flannel EdT

For a few days I want to show my big Turkish barbershop brush and Super Speed that I still love them dearly so I'll be enjoying their performaces, then I'll go back to my Plissoft and Junjie. The Glacial Spearmint soap is a bona-fide menthol atom bomb with a beautiful bathroom-filling spearmint scent, rich, wonderful lather and brilliant post-shave care. The Diana balm is totally unscented and loaded with enough menthol to knock out a herd of penguins, and the Arctique aftershave feels like a ton of icy bricks and liquid nitrogen on your face - something tells me if it was any colder it would be dangerous to use!

I could have used more M-bomb in my soap! I'll have to experiment with that more. The TSD SubZero is pretty chilly though! I hope you have a great Monday.

The One Blade
Feather FHS-10 #2
Druida Robo
Route 66 Frozen Margarita
Witch Hazel, Whipped Shea Butter, Chilled Proraso Aftershave

Today's shave was outstanding. Changed blades after the first pass since the Feather started to tug. Used a GEM SS Coated blade for the second pass. Two passes + clean up = BBS all over. Another close, comfortable, and efficient shave. The One Blade makes repeated J Hooks, Slide Strokes, and Buffing easy, with never a cut.
The Robo I had no problem delivering a super lather today. Route 66 Soaps are easy to lather, have great lubrication, with good skin care, and smell really great. Frozen Margarita has a pleasant scent and a nice icy chill, perfect for MM. Finished off with some chilled Proraso Aftershave. Have a Marvelous Menthol Monday my friends! Remember... Stay Frosty!!!

 

Wow, beauty of a photo!

Good morning friends. Wonderful menthol Monday shave today with my lovely Stirling Glacial Mita soap. Three passes with the R41 dolphin smooth, easy as pie. I decided to use pre shave oil today again, I'm undecided, further experimentation is needed. Have a great day!
