SoS: August 29, 2016 - September 4, 2016

Wow, summer is almost over but I'm kicking off this new week on a frigid note!

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Parker R22/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen S/S
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen A/S Balm
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen W/H
Barrister & Mann Arctique A/S Splash
Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui E/D/T

Freeze, baby, freeze!

 

•Clix EZ Flo
•Famos carbon blade
•modern Williams soap

Three pass DFS+

I've used lots of carbon blades over the years. Had seen Famos blades but never owned any until I recently came across this pack. Turns out it is one of the very smoothest carbon blades I've ever used, easily on par with Gillette's best carbons and my personal gold standard, the old Silver Star. Most comfortable shave I've had in some time (the Clix helps with that). Would like to find more.

a/s: Dollar General/Rexall menthol rub dosed with Aqua Velva blue and even more menthol crystals. Quite refreshing.

 

I'm glad summer is ending for some, but I live in Texas...where summer is NEVER over.

 

Shaved this afternoon as I'm heading out unexpectedly tonight so I won't be shaving in the morning..........

C&E Nomad shave soap face lathered w/Duke 2 Best
40's Super Speed paired w/7 o'clock yellow
Witch hazel followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing w/a splash of Floid Vigoroso

2-passes for an outstanding shave........

 

get your Osage while it's still available(I know it is SOMEWHERE).

 

I'll do my Menthol Monday shower for now-shave is to be determined.

Bodywash-Nivea 4 Men COOL
Deodorant soap-Coast(The "Eye Opener").
Shampoo-Dove 4 Men Clean&Fresh(Caffeine and Menthol)
Deodorant Soap(post-shave)Mennen Speed Stick Regular

Men-thol Mon-day
Can't trust that day

Mamas and Papas stole my song

 

Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Jayaruh #90
Edwin Jagger DE 89
Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #90 Tuxedo synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Edwin Jagger DE 89 razor with a Wilkinson Sword Super Sword-Edge Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Pinaud Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Following in the steps of the King of Freeze himself, I will be joining my good friend @crackstar in freezing my face off tomorrow.

You always bring the big guns on Menthol Monday! Will have to break out the Glacial Obsidian tomorrow and join the party!

 

Ive always been afraid of the ben-gay/vicks vapor rub smell. I have never used osage, but people, really make the smell seem really bad.

The medicinal scent dissipates rather quickly and then it's a nice barbershop scent. It's a favorite of mine.
