12/1/2014 Menthol Monday!!

Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO

Blade: Astra SP (1)
Brush: Turkish #6
Soap: Stirling - Margaritas In The Arctic
After: Home made ASB, Osage Rub after shave
Cologne: Bond No. 9 - NY Oud


A cold shave on this rainy morning. The #6 whipped up the MITA into a wonderfully cooling lather. The R41 paired with the Astra always gives me great results. The Bow did its job with ease. The Osage Rub brought the finishing arctic chill and the NY Oud will have me smelling good for the rest of the day. All in all a Darn Fine Shave + this morning.

Have a blessed day!
