Menthol Monday:

The Mother Of All Grand Freezes!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Astra Green
Master Soap Creations Citrus Melody SS
Prep ASB
Master Splash Creations Citrus Melody AS Splash

Unless you’re able to tolerate intense menthol DO NOT touch this soap and aftershave because they’ll freeze your face to the moon and back - the soap is delightfully scented, my Yaqi Barber Pole made it lather magnificently, the menthol sensation is incredible, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep delivered its own special postshave care, and the Citrus Melody aftershave not only hits you with an insane menthol punch - it smells gorgeous and it feels so good. The new Astra Green blade ensured a perfect three pass BBS shave!

Have a great week - be well and safe!

Thank you Matt!

Even if I prefer the ones shot with 'bad' weather!

 

You guys are killing me with those Oscar 11s. I've always loved his handles.

It is a shame that he doesn't offer his handles for sale, any longer, as he really did turn some lovely handles.

 

For sure!

Razor: Gillette psycho tech 1952
Blade: Astra
Brush: Jayaruh 171 synthetic
Soap: Maggards leather & Tobacco
Post: medicated witch hazel
A/S: lime sec

A damn great shave this morning. A tech is a tech is a tech is what I always say. They are the perfect razor. A mild razor that gives you one of the best shaves ever... even if it was once used by a murderer or a possibly a psychopath.... ? Well either way it shaved me well, bbs smooth. The soap works great and lathers up awesomely. The slickness isnt quite there but the lather is nice, creamy and thick.

Im glad i listened to the voices and reached for the razor......

Thanks! Yes the same fragrance but the EdT seems to be little over double the aroma strength. More staying pouwer.

I agree with Celestino. Wonderful handles for sure and a shame but my understanding, health issue arose.

 

Easter Monday SOTD




I’m an little late to the game acquiring one of these Yates Precision razors, but it’s exciting having such a great hand made American product from a fellow Pennsylvanian.

Happy Healthy Shaves all.
