    The Barbasol Brisk is already pretty packed with menthol goodness. I bet that was a really cold splash!

    I think I may have created a problem for myself with how many splashes I have added menthol crystals too. The first time I used the Brisk, my main thought was that it was nice, but I wished it was colder. It's colder now. :)

    I bought the matching set of Italian Citrus soap and aftershave. It's ok for me but not as good as most of their other scents. Folsom & Company is back in business but having trouble keeping up with orders. Their Capri and Shambala are excellent citrus type scents that are worth considering.

    Thanks Andrew! I'm quite fond of it! Is there any JR handle that isn't great though? :)

    Oh sure, you apologized. But did you retract the pun by deleting it so none of us had to read it? ;)

    Weber SS
    Astra SP (7)
    Simpson Chubby 2 Super
    Jeeves of Hudson Street Private Study shave soap
    Thayers Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and CC Bay Rum aftershave

    I enjoyed my first shave this morning with Jeeves of Hudson Street Private Study shave soap thanks to @Drygulch. I had mountains of slick lather and was rewarded with a super close and comfortable shave. The soap scent was mild and pleasant, and it paired very well with the CC Bay Rum aftershave and a shot of Aramis cologne. This new soap is a welcome addition to my current soap rotation. In fact, I can use this one on Mondays when I need to go unscented, and I think it would be fine. The Astra SP blade performed exceedingly well all week and is now resting comfortably in the blade bank. Time for a new Voskhod blade tomorrow.

    I hope you all are having a fantastic day!

    Clint, fantastic restoration on the Ever Ready 100T. It looks great, and I bet it performs well.
