The M7, Mike (I think I called you Paul recently---sorry) has the most ergonomic handle in my stable.

 

no apology needed!! I am Paul.

Yes it’s that ergonomics that I find appealing. Also it just looks nice!

Thank you
Paul

Menthol Monday’s Nuclear Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/Wilkinson day 8
Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
Diana Menthol ASB (from Austria)
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Aramis EdT

Holy Mackerel, if this shave was any colder my face would have disintegrated - the Glacial Mango Sunrise is one of the NICEST soaps I ever used in my life - the scent is MAGNIFICENT, its tallow formula promotes awesome lather with tons of slickness, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the postshave feeling is so wonderful. The Diana balm is unscented, it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing, and there’s a ton of menthol in it. The Snake Bite aftershave took the freeze to another level. Finally the lovely Aramis fragrance and I’m good to go. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave to start off the week!

Enjoy your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap
Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
Schick M-2 Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M-2 Adjustable razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Four red micro dots on the chin area from this effective razor. An alum block made quick work of them. Otherwise, a smooth as silk finish.
