Morning Menthol Shave An early morning shave—a rarity for me—and one that was quite chilly, thanks to the menthol overload. The Valobra menthol effect is rather subtle so I added a few drops of TSD M-Bomb to make it noticeable. Three passes with the BB#44 for a DFS! Have a great Saturday, all!

Saturday: hot shower w/CST Verbena bar soap Maggard Eucalyptus PSO Gillette Aristocrat 2+ passes Ladas Super Stainless (5) VDH Premium boar Arko soap in a warm mug Thayers unscented w/aloe Old Spice Fresh AS Didn't have time to shave yesterday so I had an extra bit of stubble to mow down this morning. Very nice shave with this razor/blade combo so I was surprised to note that this was shave number 5 for this blade. First time with Arko and it was just like using Derby albeit slightly less cushion but it's my first time with it so I'm sure it'll take awhile to get the soap/water ratio just right.
Weber PH Bulldog Gillette 7OC Indian Green Semogue BC Texugo Institut Karite Soap Alum A late but very nice shave this morning after a lot of snow shoveling. Oops. Thought I had the Mistura, but it was the Texugo today. Regardless, it was a very nice shave.

I really should use my Palmolive stick more often. That's the bad thing about having so many shaving things. A lot of good things get neglected. I had a comfortable BBS.
