Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
SlimGem 3D Printed Badger
TNNSER 3D Printed Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with the SlimGem 3D Printed Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER 3D Printed Razor by Tom and the Personna GEM SS PTFE 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...

 

Thanks bro!

Menthol Monday:

A sensational Grand Freeze!

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Derby day 6
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful is the way to describe the scent of the Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave - this is one of the newer Glacial scents that Rod and Mandy released this year. I had such tremendous lather from the soap, that gorgeous scent filled my bathroom, the menthol sensation froze my face to smithereens, and the postshave feeling was delightful - so soothing as well as comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of extra soothing along with a nice menthol coolness, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave froze me out completely along with its magnificent scent - my wife loves it on me. Three glorious passes gave me a super duper easy peasy BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Razor : Gem G bar. Mfg 1955-58, milder to tame mid range. Well built to last generations, it has a excellent heavy chrome coating. In a skilled hand with good technique the results are excellent. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi "The Green", nice scented fresh forest scent IMO with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle knot. Excellent lather generator, soft split end bristle hairs, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Yaqi "The Green" + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gem(ASR) "G" bar with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
