    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 13
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Prep ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

    Holy icicles Batman - my face is so frozen from this Glacial Electric Sheep. It’s one of the more recent Glacial soaps and it’s the only one with a mutton tallow formula. The scent is so delightful, the lather is so easy to work up - it’s so rich, creamy, mega slick and protective, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave were a great finishing combo. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

    I'm loking ahead to some major Stoylin purchases. They won't be all at once, but let's say from soon to year's end.

    Wasn't on my list at this particular time, but I might well repurchase it.

    Menthol Monday:

    What a Grand Freeze this was!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 8
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
    Aramis EdT

    Lemony scented icicles in my face - the Glacial Lemon Chill trio sure did the job for me. The soap lathered like a maniac with lots of slickness and the menthol hit like a sledgehammer, not to mention how soothed my skin felt. The matching balm and aftershave were a perfect icy cold finish and last but not least the beautiful Aramis fragrance. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    A beautiful Grand Freeze with:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Rapira
    Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
    Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB
    MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray

    If this kind of setup doesn’t freeze your face off then nothing will - wow, it’s so potent. The Glacial Spearmint soap’s beautiful scent filled my bathroom, my Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole synthetic churned up wonderful lather that had the great Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the skincare was brilliant. The matching balm and the Frosted Spearmint aftershave were a great frigid finish. The brand new Rapira blade helped to ensure a terrific three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed from start to finish!

    Have a good week - be well and stay safe!

    That settles it, Andrew...I was right all along. If I was to visit you and your family, I'd have to work my way around your Stoylin arsenal just to get past the door.

    Yes indeed. Leads to a question though....if someone put a dab of every Stoylin A.S.. on his face, I wonder what he'd smell like.

    Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 12
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    Wow, if this shave was any colder I think my face would have disintegrated because this Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are two menthol atom bombs with a gorgeous scent. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such perfect lather that has so much slickness and cushion, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is so brilliant. The Prep and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave were an awesome finishing combination - by the way this aftershave has great longevity so I didn’t need to wear any additional fragrance. Three passes gave me such a dynamite fun filled BBS shave!

    Enjoy the weekend and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Menthol Monday:

    The Mother of all Grand Freezes!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Back to my fantastic Astra Greens for now because I love them so much. They’re so sharp yet so smooth and they have excellent longevity. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap’s gorgeous scent filled the bathroom, the lather buried my face, the menthol sensation froze the daylights out of me, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Prep added so much moisturizing, cooling and soothing, while the Snake Bite aftershave brought the freeze to another level. Last but not least the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 11
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Prep ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash
    Givenchy Gentleman EdT

    After two back to back non mentholated shaves it felt heavenly to have a Grand Freeze. The Glacial Electric Sheep soap is such a treasure - the same delightful lemony/citronella/eucalyptus scent as the regular version, the mutton tallow formula gives this soap such magnificent lather that’s so thick, rich, creamy, SUPER SLICK and protective, the menthol sensation can flatten a polar bear, and the skincare is A1. The Prep delivered so generously on the postshave care, the Floid Vigoroso aftershave gave me lots more menthol goodness together with its gorgeous old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Last but not least the Givenchy Gentleman which was a gift from my sister-in-law a few years ago and I’m good to go. BBS from three swift, enjoyable passes - what a great shave this was!

    See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe!

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Astra Green day 4
    Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    A true Grand Freeze this morning - this Glacial MITA has around three times the amount of menthol than the regular version, the scent is the same delightful citrusy/tropical type, the beef tallow formula promotes magnificent lather with the typical awesome Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation hits like a ton of bricks, and the skincare is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Prep and the Rubby Dubby Doo provided tons of extra moisturizing and icy cold menthol goodness. Finally the heavenly Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m good to go play a couple of rounds of golf with my brother-in-law - ohhhhhh, I’m going to make him bad. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

    See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe!
