Oh my, my, my - this is so important. The Arctique aftershave must be used VERY sparingly because the menthol is so powerful. For those of you who are not familiar with it UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are you to splash it on like you would a normal aftershave like Aqua Velva, Mennen, etc. Just apply a very small amount lightly on both cheeks and your neck. This will more than suffice to feel a POTENT cooling sensation which lasts for a long time.

You're all set for 3 days-impressive! As it gets colder, I'll match your style .

Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Cella
Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip
Schick I1
Personna SS Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Florida Water

The Cella Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Best Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick I1 Injector razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Florida Water as an after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

was it at Levi?

my winter face wash will be either Dove or Dial(both for men, naturalement)

Menthol Monday, September 28, 2015

B-3 Mongoose with Triad Ti Helix Hex
Feather Pro #4
Varlet Beehive Badger 24 X 50mm
Krampert’s Frostbite Soap
Alum, Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Gold Bond Green Lotion
Krampert’s Frostbite Aftershave

Excellent two pass, near BBS today. Started with Mr. Glo Soap. The Beehive Handle may be one of the ideal designs for a shave brush. The Varlet Knot has outstanding flow through, excellent face coverage, with substantial backbone, and holds enough lather for more than 3 passes. It loaded up in seconds with icy cool Frostbite and whipped up a mountain of creamy slick lather in a New York minute. I will continue to ride the smooth comfortable shave of the Mongoose through OCtober occasionally using one of my OC razors. Finished this great shave off with a healthy cold splash of Krampert's Frostbite Aftershave. Hope you all had a smooth easy shave today.
Have a good week folks!

​

Might not be shaving tomorrow guys seems I have no water here, a main broke some where and we're down. Thank goodness I got a shower beforehand! At least I have beer!

Sorry to hear...my town will be flushing watermains for most of October, and some appear to be in my area.

at least you have beer lol.

Last week of the month, and last week until i head out on my month long trip, i'm going to rotate between 2 combinations:

Combination 1:
Colonel Conk Almond shave soap in my mug
Fendrihan badger brush
Merkur Progress with Feather blade
Proraso Blue aftershave


Combination 2:
TOBS Jermyn St pre shave gel
TOBS Jermyn St Shaving cream
Merkur Progress with Feather blade
Fendrihan badger brush
Proraso Blue aftershave

replying to my own post....I meant the 49ers game, not the nap

Thankfully no, they played in AZ

I wish Rod would make wintergreen with less menthol that glacial haha. But more than proraso green.

Very cool and compact combinations

MENTHOL MONDAY 9/28/15

Cold shower with Stirling Wintergreen Glacial bath soap

Ice cold water rinse to hydrate the whiskers

Stirling DE3P2 loaded with a Personna Lab Blue (5)-done
Stirling Synthetic Brush
Stirling Wintergreen Glacial Shaving Soap in VDH bowl
Stirling Wintergreen Glacial Witch hazel and aloe followed by the matching AS splash




Its after midnight here and I have the rare chance to catch up on some much needed sleep in the morning so I decided to shave tonight. Near effortless BBS shave but the blade started to die on the last pass and chewed my neck up a bit. Will most likely limit the Pesonna to 4 shaves max.
Hope everyone is having a great night/day. Off to bed once my teeth stop chattering...
