    Proraso Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #206
    Gillette Aristocrat
    Gillette Super Stainless, “The Spoiler”
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Proraso Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Aristocrat with a Gillette Super Stainless blade ("The Spoiler" R3, 1971) and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Astra
    Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
    Stirling Glacial Unscented AS Balm
    B&M Arctique AS Splash

    Yikes, was this ever frigid!

    This Glacial Black Cherry soap's scent is so beautiful - nothing at all like Kool-Aid as I originally thought it would be. It's very strong and it fills the bathroom. Strangely enough it doesn't really linger after you rinse it off. The mentholated pre-shave does such a terrific job of cleaning the skin and although the cooling sensation is not strong it's still detectable. Lathering up with this Glacial Black Cherry soap is so easy - hell, twenty-five seconds is more than enough to give you enough for three passes with lather left over, and that freeze........that freeze can knock out a polar bear. After applying the Glacial Unscented balm and the Arctique aftershave my face felt like it would need all day to thaw out. A special thanks to my Plissoft synthetic and Super Speed/Astra combination for making this awesome shave happen!
