SoS: July 24, 2017 - July 30, 2017

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy.

 

Did I leave my MITA soap in the freezer last night by mistake?

Well, that's how it felt when I was lathering up and shaving this morning because it's the GLACIAL version. Guys, we're talking about three times the amount of menthol as the regular MITA. Same awesome scent, lather, and skincare - just a hell of a lot colder. I did a little experiment by using the Glacial Spearmint balm, followed by the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel and let me say that it was wonderful. An assortment of beautiful, freezing-cold Glacial scents which resulted in a perfect BBS shave. Now I'll need all day to thaw out! lolllllllll

Have a great day, dear friends!

 

Awesome shave this morning with some pretty amazing post shave. I'll have to resist the urge to touch my face all day.

For me a near perfect work morning shave. I really enjoy the Route 66 Bay Lime Twist. The citrus with the bay is a neat twist and works great on a hot humid morning. I did make sure to add a touch more water to make the lather a little thinner and slicker. With a new Feather loaded, I went back to a 2 pass shave with the first pass XTG followed by an ATG pass. By paying attention to my trouble spots and skin stretching as I went the results were fantastic. A splash of F&C Shambala and I am ready for the day. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

Terrific shave today. Black Bot is a nice compliment to Tabac and it provides good skincare.

Schick G5 razor (again)
Personna blade (d2)
Maggard Synthetic brush
VDH Luxury SS w/the M-Bomb added
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Barbasol Brisk w/added menthol

The Schick/Personna combo worked well together and the VDH Luxury SS is pretty nice as well. I do believe that VDH products are under rated though. Anyway, myy face is happy and I'm packing to take off on a week's vacation tomorrow. Now go enjoy your day folks

Superb SOTD
On my face the RazoRock Ti Baby Smooth is the best razor for me.
IMO and yes you can and I'm sure will disagree with me, Soap Commander Love outperforms Klar Kabinett.
The Beehive brush is wonderful.

Fire sale?
