Nice setup!
I’m thinking of opening my bottle of Ardbeg 10 later this evening.

Don't get yourself bloody drunk shaving, otherwise, you can't feel the razor and blade on your face.

 

I went through a puck of Haslinger Ringelblumen. I thought it was very good shave soap and a light but delightful scent.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Menthol Shave Cream (first shave)
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Probak DE Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Palmolive Menthol Shave Cream lathered well with Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Probak DE Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze:

Cool Shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Two fantastic soap and aftershave geniuses contributed to this Grand Freeze - first it was my dear brother Rod whose Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have such a gorgeous scent - the soap is such a pleasure to lather, the slickness is amazing, the menthol sensation is so strong that it’s almost borderline painful, but it gives wonderful skincare. My other dear brother Jaco from Bundubeard in Pretoria, South Africa has a great balm called Stoffel which is peppermint scented in a very nice way, it’s also freezing cold, and just a small amount provides so much soothing as well as moisturizing. Finally back to Rod with his Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave which smells so beautiful, the scent lasts almost all day, and the menthol kick is off the charts. Three glorious passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that felt like from the Garden of Eden!

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

Shave of the Week Starting 6/23/2025

Razor.............Supply SE
Blade.............Personna
Brush............AP Shave Co Cashmere
Cream..........Supply Bergamot and Juniper
Post..............Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S...............Various

Another great start to the week with a dandy shave. Loving the Supply shave cream, lathers very easily and gives me great protection and a nice face feel when done. The Supply SE is nice, smooth and comfortable though I don't think the Personna blade is a good match for this razor. But since I have about 300 of these blades it was worth a try. Probably to the Supply Black Label in a couple days. Anyway, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
