Menthol Monday
Hot Lather Shave
Razor: PAL Adjustable
Blade: Schick Injector Plus Chromium
Brush: DSCosmetic Galaxy 26mm Silvertip
SS: Derby Menthol
AS: Osage Rub
I have the day off work and my wife decided to spend a second night at her parents. So it's been a very lazy morning for me. Decided to shave with inspiration from this morning's 30DC conversion. This means hot, menthol, readily available, and a single edge injector.
First let me say that Derby isn't that great as a hot lather. It was pasty and sticky at first and when I added water it just became a runny goo. I'm sure I could have worked at it but I just moved on with a somewhat runny lather.
I do recommend using badger with hot lather. It held the heat much more effectively.
This was my first shave ever with a schick style injector. It required a few adjustments but I think I did okay. The PAL seemed nice enough, just different. The goal was to try something new so mission accomplished. I'll go for BBS with the PAL on some future date.
I bought Osage Rub because it was cheap and Jim
@Norcalnewb mentioned it a while back. I don't even remember what he said about it, but that's all it takes to enable me at times, at least when the price is low. I really like it. Pure menthol kick without the filler. Not as potential as Cryogen but still a menthol punch in the face. Quite refreshing.
I enjoyed my late morning shave. My face feels good and the shave is socially acceptable.
