Menthol Monday: Prep: Hot shower, Healthy Accents Daily Renewal Cleanser, TSD Jasmine Sambac preshave balm Brush: Simpsons 56 Best Badger Lather: Stirling Glacial Obsidian soap Razor: RazoRock Bamboozled RAKE OC Blade: Bolzano Superinox (3) Passes: WTG, ATG (6, 7) Post: Cold water splash, Bloc Osma alum, Dickinson's witch hazel, Aqua Velva AS splash Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy A now rare for me ATG pass seemed like a good idea when I started it. The number of weepers I got as a result of it would argue otherwise, though. The lather was just not protective enough, or the blade not sharp enough, but whatever the reason, the DFS results came with many spots of red this AM.

Damn, what a freeze - the Glacial Obsidian soap clobbered me with such powerful menthol and had my eyes tearing almost right away. The matching balm froze me just as much, but also gave me great soothing and moisturizing. The Arctique aftershave felt killer-cold even with the two small dabs I put on. A delightful BBS shave even if I had to blow my nose a few times!
