SoS: March 14, 2016 - March 20, 2016

It's that time again my friends!

Menthol Monday Kickoff:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Synthetic
Junjie/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Diana Menthol Balm
Barrister & Mann Arctique AS
Grey Flannel EdT

There are all the right ingredients for a seasoned, hard-core Menthol Monkey like little old me to have some fun, because everything I've selected is guaranteed to be bone-chillingly frigid!

 

Late Sunday afternoon shave will be my first shave of the week..............

Stirling Barbershop w/Omega Pro brush (maybe 2 shaves left w/this soap)
40's Rocket w/Astra SP blade
Witch Hazel rinse followed by Nivea Cooling ASB finishing a splash of Barbaol Blue

3-passes w/touch-up on 2 1/2 days growth for a fantastic BBS shave!

 

Here is my chilly set up for the A.M.

Gillette Fatboy (G1) Setting 6/Lab Blue (4)
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill Shave Soap
Stirling 26mm Synthetic Brush (Kong)
Maggard Alum Block
Fine Snakebite AS Splash

 

Monday's


TESC Pre-Shave Oil
Old Spice Lime SC
Jayaruh #47 Synthetic
GEM 1912
CVS brand SE
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Rose Petal WH
Pinaud Clubman

A note on these blades. They are the CVS brand blade. I believe they are the carbon steel Personna/GEM blade. I have been doing a belly strop with them this week. After rinsing the blade, I do eight strops on each side across my A-shirt covered belly. This completes the drying process to keep the blade from rusting.

The Old Spice Lime Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #47 synthetic brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 razor and a CVS SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Scratch the Fatboy part. I will be using my Schick C2 Repeating Razor tomorrow and I will use the Fatboy Tuesday.

 

Planned Shave For 3-14.
