Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Shave Bar
Semogue 1305 Boar
Fuzzy Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Osage Rub

Day 15 of 3D Printed Razor Month

The Tea Tree Shave Bar lathered well with the Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fuzzy Catcher 3D Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great shave Guy!

That soap looks terrific - how mentholated is it?

Menthol Monday:

A supreme Grand Freeze!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 6
MSC Wintergreen SS (custom made for me!)
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
MSC Wintergreen AS Splash (custom made for me!)

Damn, it’ll probably take a whole day for my face to thaw out after all this menthol - my brother Fernando whipped up two winners with his Wintergreen soap which is tallow based, it has the same beautiful scent as the Stirling Glacial Wintergreen, the lather is just as rich, creamy, slick, as well as protective, the menthol sensation may even be a bit stronger so it can freeze the crap out of you, and the skincare is perfect. The Glacial Wintergreen balm delivered such a good extra freeze along with such great moisturizing and soothing, while Fernando’s Wintergreen aftershave smells so lovely, it’s witch hazel based so there’s no stinging or burning and its menthol kick is insane - it beats the Arctique from Barrister & Mann. Another picture perfect BBS shave!

Have a good week - be well and safe!
