Chilly Citrus Blast
Excellent shave today. I used the JB PSO and it proved itself to be very slick and effective. I now know yesterday's poor shave was due to the cream and not this oil, since WSP Citrus lathered like a champ over it. Der Futur did the job without drama, and Krampert's Frostbite nearly made me cry with its cold blast.

Proraso pre shave
Gillette Heavy Tech / Astra SP
Omega / TOBS Natural
WH / shea butter
Today I finished my tub of TOBS Natural. An awesome product. I will post a product review in the Soap forum later today. I will try to write a review of every soap I use as part of my one-soap-at-a-time initiative. I must admit...it was quite exciting to finally see the bottom of a tub. When I used my soaps in a rotation I never saw the end of a soap. And I realized that I really learned the qualities of the product when you use it every day. Tomorrow, I start on Cella!

 

Gorgeous photo!

 

Thank you!

 

•Dollar Tree Noxema three blade disposable (blades made by Kai)
•mix of Cremo Cooling/Chiseled Face Pine Tar soap

Four days growth but ended up with a 3 pass super-smooth BBS with no issues whatsoever. Very pleasantly surprised, one of the best cart shaves I've ever had. As a plus, the head is Atra compatible so I will be stocking up on these.

•witch hazel followed by Brut

Off we go into the wild blue Monday...

 

After this shave I think I'll need a month in the Caribbean to get all these icicles out of my face. We're talking about some major menthol from the Glacial Spearmint soap which is killer-cold, smells and lathers awesome with wonderful post-shave care. The matching balm is so freezing as well with that same delightful scent and also so soothing. The Arctique aftershave (Handle with care!) is so bitter-cold and so intense that its menthol effect causes your eyes to tear and your nose to run if you over-apply it. A great BBS shave with my Super Speed/Astra combination!

 

What's the coldest you've ever used?

 

Good morning all, here's today's SOTD;

1955 Gillette Blue Tip.
Personna Med Prep blade.
Ever Ready 500PBT brush.
Proraso Blue shaving cream.
Proraso Blue post shave balm.
Vintage English Leather as splash.
Vintage English Leather cologne.



Yesterday I chopped myself up a bit, so today I used a milder razor to give my face a break. The Blue Tip performed wonderfully. It was a two pass DFS! Have a great day!

Menthol Monday!

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword, England
Razor: Maggard MR1 handle with V2 open comb
Brush: Omega 10049 boar
Lather: Arko M-bombed
Post: Witch hazel splash, Pinaud Lilac Vegetal, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up



Pretty nice shave this morning with M-bombed Arko and The Veg! I bowl lathered the Arko with about four drops of TSD M-bomb. That created a pretty decent menthol effect that was invigorating on this Monday morning. The Arko worked just fine. I really like Arko. The scent doesn't bother me and it provides tons and tons of lather.

I was using a vintage Wilkinson Sword blade, made in England, courtesy of @DaltonGang. I really liked this blade. It was sharp but quite smooth. No tugging or pulling of any kind. That was my first use with a vintage blade and I enjoyed it!

After a cold rinse I applied a witch hazel splash followed by a healthy splash of THE VEG. It does not offend my wife or me and I'll gladly say that I'm chosen. It did not burn or sting near as much as yesterday's application. I finished off with Nivea sensitive balm.

One big pass with generous touch-ups and I'm CCS and ready for the day. Have a great Monday!
