Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

very cool shave set

 

This was last night's Menthol Monday. 12-03-18 --- A very tame menthol shave with Barbasol Artic Chill (CLASSIC Americana! I used Barbosol my entire life until the obsession started a few years ago, still great).
BARBIE!!! BARBOSOL FLOATING HEAD, Revamped by Chris Evatt... Just amazing razor, no other DE from that era shaves like this (ymmv) - very aggressive/efficient! As long as I do not carelessly "whip around" my face and use ZERO pressure I don't get closer shaves from Any DE In my arsenal of weapons... the Barbasol pre shave soap helps with. Ton of added slickness..

Turned the Progress all the way up (any other setting is just girly) and went to town with a great shave. Every thing worked great as expected. There is a video over on my youtube if anyone cares to check it out.

I used the Vostok and believe me it was cold but compared to any of the Glacials it feels insignificant!

They write on the puck "A Sophisticated Hint Of Firs-Class Luxury". Are they talkinabout Langham Spa, or of Vikings Blade itself?
