Blade: Feather AC Professional Super
Brush: Razorock Plissoft
Lather: Arko Cool

Menthol Monday
A very close and comfortable shave. The Vision destroyed two days growth without hesitation or irritation, aided by optimal lather from Cool.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Merkur Vision
Blade: Personna Platinum
Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer
Lather: B-M Reserve Cool
Aftershave: B-M Reserve Cool

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar
Soap: Haslinger Schafmilch
Razor: MIL Industries OC (pass around)
Blade: Astra SP
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, BBA PSB

Putting the cosmetic issues aside this razor isn't bad, I had a very smooth shave with minimum effort.
I replaced the ridiculously heavy handle but just in case that wasn't the reason for the mild discomfort after yesterday's shave I chose to go with the marvelous BBA PSB.
The handle was the problem but the BBA will still be a good defence against the biting wind when I venture out later.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave this morning. Great to utilize my Semogue 620 again and the wonderful Tabac shave stick. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

Excellent picture, Roby!

 

A beautiful killer-cold BBS shave which I enjoyed so much. This 1950's Super Speed performs so well for me, especially with these Astra Greens. The Glacial Spearmint soap delivered tons and tons of some of the best lather I could ask for, its delicious scent was ever present, and the menthol freeze kept getting more intense. The matching balm and the Arctique prolonged that freeze. I find the Acqua di Selva cologne pairs very well with the rest of the setup!

Have a great start to the week!

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
C.O. Bigelow
Jayaruh #266
Supply Provision
Personna Injector
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Vegetal

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #266 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision Injector Razor using a Personna Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Monday

Prep: Warm Shower-Maggard London Barbershop Soap
Soap: Country Club Spice Trail
Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (Shave #1)
Brush: Elite Razor/WSP Silvertip-24mmx50mm
Aftershave: Country Club Southern Oud

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Country Club Spice Trail again today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor/WSP Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Rapira Platinum Lux in the Gillete. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

Menthol Monday
Hot water wash with a washcloth
VanDerHagen boar/ Surrey blue handle
Bombed Soap Commander Vision
Pal injectomatic
Chick Schick (4ish)
Grand Shave King self lubricating razor
Persona lab (5)
Soap Commander Vision balm
Men's Choice Artic Blue
MM again, and soap commander fits the bill. The very inexpensive VdH boar did very nice (better in quality than ones purchased later). Two passes with the PAL left me scuffy. The angle seems easy to find, but proved elusive. Again I finished with the GSK. I'm very nicely shaved. But after four passes, i should be. Maybe the pal isn't for me. I completed my ritual with a double tap ofSC balm and Artic Blue (nice on it's own, but missing something from aqua velva).
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Schick M1 Adjustable razor
Personna blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush

Dandy shave to start the week with and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

Hi all, yesterday's SOTD- G Type Schick Injector, Ted Pella blade. This is the Injector @Jayaruh made the handle for me. What a great shaver. One pass perfection.
Have a blessed day everyone!
Peace.

For travelers:

Short, quick and great, 1 pass, WTG, wet face thoroughly, (hot or warm), apply a small amount of thin lather over face and do a thorough clean up 18 to 20 mins. Apply AS. Cold water rinse is good. I am mighty close to a BBS. God Bless to all.
