SoS: March 21-27 2011

As you notice the menthol feeling is soft, cool and calming. No kick. I found this SC to be one of the best in my rotation!

Alt Innsbruck AS :love008 :love008 :freezing :freezing

I feel as sick as hell today, but I still would not give up a shave. I cannot smell anything, so I didn't suffer from the awful scent of this Egyptian Palmolive cream, and the menthol actually felt wonderful--just as strong as the versions from Italy and Romania. The cooling from the Alt Innsbruck felt so nice also, although I cannot smell it. Now, back to sleep. :sick007 :sick007

Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Shavemac D01 Horn
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime

The Portman Square soft soap produced an excellent lather and the Wilkinson Sticky/Super Iridium combo delivered another outstanding shave. A splash of Acca Kappa and I am ready for the day.

 

Danny, have you ever tried KMF Cool Mint? It seems to be very similar to Tom's of Maine.

Fabulous Shave with, another
U.S. Blade !!! :happy093

 

Scent wise, yes. But I found it (the KMF) very deficient in the menthol. I always add several drops of TSD M Bomb to it.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Jeff.

 

Thursday - another day closer.

Shave Rating: 5 Blades

They don't get much better. (at least I know It's Thursday :happy102)

 

Thanks, Steve.

You're right--KMF and Tom's have me sometimes mixed up or confused. They have a close similarity in the scents, but Tom's from what I remember is much cooler, almost like Ingram, or Gada Cool Mint creams. Both creams have good skincare, though.
