Good morning! It's been a while since I posted. My shaves don't change much, but I miss the conversations on here. If you haven't tried the Planet Kind, I recommend it. It's easily available (Target), affordable ($8), face lathers quite well, and provides a great shave. It has a slight cucumber scent, but it doesn't last.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lime Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #432
Schick M Adjustable
Personna Injector
Osage Rub

The TSD Iced Lime Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M Adjustable Razor with a Personna Injector 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 custom made Grand Freeze for me!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/new Wilkinson Sword
MSC Wintergreen SS
Prep ASB
MSC Wintergreen AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Notice that there are no labels or graphics on the soap tub or aftershave bottle because they’re not on the market - they were custom made for me but I honestly think that they would be top sellers for anyone who loves intense menthol like I do. They both have the identical beautiful wintergreen scent as the Stirling Glacial Wintergreen, the soap is also tallow based, the lather is also exactly the same rich, creamy, super slick type, the menthol sensation is so potent that it passes the Glacial Wintergreen, and the skincare is so brilliant. The Prep provided so much moisturizing with lots of soothing, and the Wintergreen aftershave is witch hazel based, it has the same gorgeous scent as the soaps from Fernando and Rod, not to mention it’s the coldest aftershave on Planet Earth - yes, even colder than B&M Arctique. My new Wilkinson Sword blade helped me get a perfect three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Have a great day!

Definitely getting to be Skin Bracer time, that's for sure .

Always is a good time for Skin Bracer!

I'm just glad they remain popular enough to be sold at drugstores&supermarkets, rather than having to order on line.

I wish that would be the case here (finland). I haven't seen Skin Bracer for sale anywhere in a year or two. I'm not even sure if the euro version is still being made, or did they just stop selling it here.
