Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
B-3 Red and Black Badger
Red and Black OT by Tom
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the B-3 Red and Black Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Red and Black OT by Tom and the Nacet Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

RR Hawk V3A
Schick Proline (1)
Semogue Torga C5 Mixed

Only a single pass was needed to get out the door and start the week.

Enjoy your day.

I agree. I recently used the shave cream and aftershave, and I also have the hard soap. I have a few different sandalwoods, and TOBS is one of my favorites.

Great Monday set ups, Gents...

 

Razor ..........SNMIRN adjustable
Blade ...........King C Gillette
Brush ..........Yaqi Artic
Soap ...........More for You
Balm ..........Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S ............Various

Not sure about this set up. All the parts are good, just something not right for me. The KCG blade/SNMIRN combo is extremely smooth and comfortable but....... The Yaqi brush is soft but dense and I don't normally care for dense brushes. If you like Arko, you'll like More for You SS. For me it works/smells the same, just more of it in the container. So, this worked ok but just for today. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

On point, Gents....

 

Thank you, Gus.

 

Thanks so much Gus!
