    March is here so perhaps we'll start getting into some warmer weather. Here's my plan for tomorrow morning!

    Menthol Monday:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash :love055: :love055: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Large Horsehair Barbershop
    Super Speed/new SuperMax Blue

    After the intensely-cold and wonderful shave I had today I've selected a set-up which I believe is just as cold for tomorrow. The Neutrogena facial wash is nicely-scented, feels really chilly, and leaves the skin spotlessly-clean. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap smells like freshly-made lemonade and the menthol blast wallops you right away. The Diana Sport balm is almost as cold as the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel, so you get the most potent freezing sensation possible. A new SuperMax Blue blade will give me a maximum BBS result! ;) :D

    ZCOLDWATER1.jpg

    Nivea Men's Face Wash
    C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
    Jayaruh WC3 Pure Badger
    GEM 1912
    GEM Super Stainless
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Pinaud Clubman

    The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC3 Pure Badger Brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 SE razor and a GEM Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    MENTHOL MONDAY :Animatedfrozensmily:
    MARCH 2, 2015


    Razor: Merkur 41c "1904" :D
    Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (green)
    Brush: Semogue 1320
    Soap: Proraso Green
    :Animatedfrozensmily:
    AS: Barbasol Pacific Rush
    :Animatedfrozensmily:


    I see Jazman using his "1904" religiously and I really want to like this razor, so he's my inspiration to try this razor again. It's a bit warmer here, a veritable heat wave into the upper 20's so I'm brave enough to go with the Menthol Monday theme. Proraso Green was the first cream/soap I tried and I still like it. The Barbasol has a heavy menthol hit that lasts for nearly a 1/2 hour after you're done.

    Menthol Monday
    Krampert's Frostbite is my favorite menthol soap. Combined with the aftershave, superb results follow. The scents match nicely and the skincare is optimal. My New LC comfortably reduced my stubble, leaving smooth happy skin on my face and neck. Two passes on the neck are enough. First go with my Silvertiped African mahogany brush. It's well balanced and worked very well. I'm still learning the best way to use badger, and I'm eager to see if it blooms as I use it.
    Prep: Kiehl's face wash
    Soap: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
    Brush: Brothers Bristles African Mahogany Silvertip
    Razor: Gillette New LC
    Blade: Voskhod (2)
    AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite

    Prep: warm wash and Cornhusker's Lotion
    Lather: leftovers
    Brush: BodyShop synthetic
    Razor: New LC
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post: Old Spice

    2 passes and all turned out well. The little synthetic brush made a slick and shiny lather with my leftovers soap which provided adequate coverage for a 2 pass shave. 2 passes with this razor may be the key to every day shaving with it.

    My secret to using it every day? It's the only DE I can lay hands to all the parts of at present. ;)

    Menthol Monday:

    Prep: Hot shower, Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm
    Brush: Simpson 56 Best Badger
    Soap: Ginger's Garden Grass Stain Menthol Snow
    Razor: Merkur 41c 1904 OC
    Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (3)
    Passes: WTG, XTG, XTG (7, 8, 9)
    Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's WH, Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS splash
    Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

    My shaves are going to be even more predictable than usual the rest of this month; with Spring allegedly on the way and an abundance of product to clear out before my birthday at month's end, I plan to use the Grass Stain Menthol Snow for the remainder of the month along with the Bics and Merkur 41c, for a 'Menthol March' theme. The AS and cologne will continue to change daily. Today's shave was chilly, but nearly BBS-close, with a weeper at my throat on the third pass telling me the blade needs to be changed before tomorrow.
