    Excellent Menthol Monday
    Last day of prep before students arrive tomorrow. I went with the Krampert’s Frostbite combo and it was amazing. Thick creamy lather and enough chill to last for nearly an hour. I could barely notice my ’59 Fatboy removing my stubble. I am running very low on the aftershave, I’ll need to get a refill soon.

    Prep: Warm shower
    Soap: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite
    Brush: HIS lather monster
    Razor: ’59 Fatboy
    Blade: Voskhod (3)
    AS: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite

    8/24/2015 Menthol Monday!! Woo Hoo!!

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Muhle R101 (2011), H. Boker Master Razor straight razor
    Blade: PolSilver Super Iridium (6)
    Brush: HJM Black Fibre
    Soap: Barbon shave cream
    After: Home made ASB, Barbon after shave
    Cologne: Midnight In Paris

    It is Menthol Monday! The HJM brush did a fine job whipping the Barbon into a nice lather. The R101 and the Boker did a great job mowing down the 2 days of stubble. The Barbon AS and the Midnight In Paris were a nice finish for this 2 pass Darn Fine Shave +.

    Have a blessed day!

    MONDAY
    Away for several days in the Sierra wilderness (actually in a large posh cabin with 10 other guys from the church staff) where my idea of roughing it is having only one razor and soap to use and spotty wifi. :D
    Young guys are fascinated ( or puzzled) when I break out this old cutthroat razor. I offer to share but no takers. Their loss! :D
    Darn near bbs shave too!
    Happy Monday...wherever today may find you!

    image.jpg Razor: Gillette 195 Fat Boy (f1) 1960 (5) (3)
    Brush: Rubberset 400 #3 WD 24/50 Silvertip
    Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
    Cream: Geo. F. Trumper's Coconut cream
    Blade: Feather (1)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #3
    Whipped up some nice warm Trumper's Coconut after loading up my mug with a dollop. I had reset the Silvertip 2 times and I'm very happy with the knot now, set at 50mm. Nice backbone and very soft. The handle fits the hand nicely. My FB, helped with the Feather blade, made quick work in 2 passes. A little touchup on my neck ATG on 3 and done. The WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dries some Vintage Old Spice from 1973! Y'all have a good one.
