    Menthol Monday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Proraso Green Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #340
    Russian SHaDE Razor
    Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Proraso Green Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #340 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Russian SHaDE Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue Half Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Derby day 3
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
    B&M Arctique AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    After this menthol bombardment I think my face all day to thaw out. The Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap started the ball rolling - it’s not intense, but it’s still pretty cooling and it’s very moisturizing, it does a great job of cleaning the skin and softening up the beard stubble. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap is something else - it has the gorgeous Sharp Dressed Man scent which is an almost exact copy of Green Irish Tweed, it’s so easy to lather up rich, I love the slickness, and the menthol sensation hits like a ton of frozen bricks. The Glacial Unscented balm gave me wonderful, icy cold soothing and moisturizing, while the Arctique aftershave brought the freeze almost through the roof - by the way, it smells lovely but it never kills the scent of a terrific fragrance like the Bleu de Chanel. Three passes cleaned me up beautifully and left me as smooth as a baby’s tukhis!

    Have a great week and be safe and healthy!

    Who would have imagined that a very ordinary Monday in April would bring such a pleasure?

    Today it's raining, not intensely, but it's raining.
    And it is not a lukewarm, spring rain: it is a cold rain, with a cold air, and an autumn climate.
    A fantastic climate!
    And I immediately took the opportunity to grab the fragrances that I thought I should put aside until next autumn. Instead not!

    Not only that, but my car has lost the layer of dust that had been protecting its paint for almost two months: I finally recognize it and I do not have to read its license plate before getting in to avoid being accused of attempted theft.
    This is very likely at a time when we are forced to go out with a mask on our face, a common practice among criminals who do not want to be recognized by cameras or possible witnesses.

    I found myself in a fantastic situation through and through!
    Apart from what is ruining my existence...

    Every day I look at the front page of the newspapers to read the obituaries: sooner or later, as the old Chinese adage about rivers and dead enemies says, I will be satisfied!

    As satisfied as I am now after the fantastic fragrances that have cheered me up shaving and, entering the wardrobe still smelling the scent of Sartorial was like returning to John G. Hardy's warehouse in Huddersfield!

    I'm Back! And this week's Shave of the Week will be:

    Weber DLC razor
    Astra SP blade
    JR #85 brush
    Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Taconic Eucalyptus Mint A/S

    Haven't done much in the way of shaving since surgery but want/need to get back in the groove. All these items tried and proven for me so I look forward to this week's shaves. BTW, surgery went well and the pathology of surrounding tissue showed all clear. Need a pet scan and meeting with my oncologist to verify but feeling pretty good right now.
