Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Fine Snake Bite
Jayaruh #144 Badger
Schick F
Schick Proline B20
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
English Leather

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Fine Snake Bite Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick F with a Schick Proline B20 blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave today with the Schick N1 fitted with a twin blade. Marvelous lather from the Tabac shave stick. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

This shave was a frigid delight from start to finish. Any colder and I think my face would have disintegrated. That Glacial Wintergreen soap, balm, and witch hazel can freeze a penguin to death and the Arctique can kill an army of polar bears. BBS so easily thanks to the new Astra in my Super Speed.

Wishing you all a great week!

 

What about Treet? I found them at my local grocery store.

Birthday shave!!

Razor: RazoRock Black Hawk
Brush: JR #41 badger
Soap: Country Club for Men Cahaba Blues
Post: Witch hazel, Fine American Blend aftershave

Really fine results. Love this setup. Enjoy your day!

 

I believe those are carbon blades. I tried some a while back and didn't care for them, but of course YMMV. You have to take those blades out and dry them after the shave or they'll rust.

I don't know what happened, but I nicked myself to pieces. Easily 2 dozen nicks and weepers.

 

You're vaguely right about only one thing!

My parents come from a city in Russia named Khabarovsk, which has an average temperature of -35 Celsius during the winter. I know because I visited their hometown!

 

Do you mean you don't like to drive a Zamboni? What a disappointment.

 

Entschuldigung!
