WD Silver Tip brush
Osage Rub/Jason's Aloe Gel
M&L Florida Water cologne w/added menthol

I've had the Weber for quite some time, just don't use it much since I've gone 99% injector. Got it when they were first released and have enjoyed it since. Nice shave but I think I prefer injectors. Sometimes I wonder if I should even keep my DE's. Have to think on that. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and all the hard working underpaid teachers out there.

 

I always thought the stuff was a good deal. 12 cents a day is very affordable. Thanks for sharing.

 

Welcome to the SOTD. Congratulations on your first DE shave. Good to have you with us.

 

Guy just how cold is Arctique?

 

Grandpa Lowe's mug. He would have been 120 this year. He ran errands for the Wright brothers in Dayton, OH, in the 1900s. He was quite a fellow.

Have a "Rosy" day!​

 

That is one sweet looking handle Steve!

 

Lovely set up Primo. Enjoy the roses.

 

Great setup you have there.

 

Sweet handle! Is that a new design Steve?

 

The first time I used Arctique, I applied it on my face and at first if felt just a tad warmer than Osage Rub and I wondered what is all the hype about then imagine this: snow on the ground you are in your nice warm house, having your morning cup of coffee near the fireplace then you wrap up to go shovel the driveway. You open the front door and BAM that cold frost air hits you smack on your face as that is the only bare skin that is not covered up. That is the effect I get with Artique. Nothing special then immediately kicks into overdrive for me and I would say at least 1.5 times colder than Osage Rub. It is now at least 47 minutes since I applied Arctique on my face and it has mellowed to about half strength of Osage Rub and equal to Alt Innsbruck. My favorite B&M AS and hyper mentholated AS. As Jeff states not for the fate of heart.

 

That is a beautiful brush handle!

 

My DE's are packed up and stashed under my sink in preparation for my 30 day challenge with straights. My little GEM here helped set the stage with a nice 2 pass shave.

I will skip tomorrow and then it's game on starting Nov 1.

Have a safe weekend gents, and enjoy that extra hour of sleep/shave time.

 

Excellent analogy! I get the picture. Dry Ice cold. Thanks for sharing Guy.
