Menthol Monday:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Minora day 10
Bundubeard African Potato X3 SS
Prep ASB
B&M Arctique AS Splash

Has anybody ever tried shaving with their eyes half closed? That’s exactly what happened to me this morning with this African Potato soap because it’s loaded with menthol that it’s easily a match for any of the Stirling Glacials. The scent, lather, and skincare are so brilliant as well as the overwhelming menthol sensation. The Prep and the Arctique both gave super extra soothing care and a crazy frigid feeling. Another wonderful BBS shave worth howling about!

Have a great week - be well and safe!

Shave of the Week Starting 4 Jan 2021

Well, once again having trouble uploading a photo. Says it's to large when I've used the same size successfully in the past. Darn, anyway here's what it is this week

Star 3 piece razor
Silver Star blade
JR #85 brush
Lea Menthol SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Yes, using Lea again cuz last week's shaves were great and wanted to see if it was a result of using the Lea or something else. I think it was the Lea cuz this mornings shave was great. Now go enjoy your day folks
