A pleasantly gray day; too bad I'm sleepy....

That's why I didn't indulge in olfactory-climatic choices, but I took something reliable which means I could have taken anything: I got rid of anything that might require too much attention!

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Jayaruh #403 Synthetic
Cobra Classic
Feather Professional
CWR
Osage Rub

The Tea Tree Body Bar Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #403 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic razor with a Feather Professional 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:

A Grand Freeze to end all Grand Freezes!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Schick day 8
Master Soap Creations Citrus Melody SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Master Splash Creations Citrus Melody AS Splash

If this setup doesn’t freeze your face off then nothing will. Even the mentholated pre shave from Stirling felt pretty damned icy this morning, the Citrus Melody soap’s delicious scent filled my bathroom, the lather was so thick, rich, slick and frigid, and the postshave care was perfect. The Glacial Lemon Chill balm seems to have the same lovely scent, it’s colder than hell, and it’s so skin friendly. The Citrus Melody aftershave is so overwhelmingly cold that it makes your eyes tear and your nose run even if you apply just a small amount and does it ever smell beautiful. This was such a great shave!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Thank you! Yeah that is my setting of choice when I am shaving daily - I will set it to 3 if I skip a day of shaving (3 on the first pass, back to 2 on the 2nd pass).

Shave of the Week Starting 26 April 2021

EJ DE87 razor
Gillette Wilkinson blade
WD Silver Tip brush
Gillette Pure SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Another razor/blade combo that I haven't used for a long time and should have. Nice smooth comfortable close shave and my face liked it. I know many are boycotting Gillette and that's their choice. My choice is to use whatever I like and I like the Pure SC, it works well and my face likes it. So, all is well and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks .
