    Menthol Monday

    [​IMG]

    Prep: hot shower
    Soap: Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic
    Brush: Omega 13522
    Razor: '46 - '50 Tech
    Blade: Gillette Rubie
    Post: Osage Rub, Nivea Sensitive balm

    Nice menthol Monday shave. There's something special about the Rubie blades in the Tech. About the best combo of sharp and smooth I've found in it. Cut the Osage Rub with a little witch hazel because of my sensitive skin.

    In other news, I'm probably going to have to put my Omega knot in a new handle. Starting to split a little.

    There's nothing like a great, chilly shave to start off the week - the Lea Menthol cream gave me its rich, creamy lather with more than enough freeze to satisfy my menthol needs. The Diana balm and Snake Bite aftershave did their part to add to the frosty fun! :happy088: :happy088:

    Menthol Monday SoTD
    [​IMG]    ​
    Schick Type C repeating razor
    Restored Simms brush TGN 2 band
    Homemade frosty citrus PSO
    Musgo Real Lime & Basil shaving cream
    Myrsol Agua de limón aftershave
    L'Occitane Cedrat edt

    Not an overly frigid Menthol Monday but refreshing none the less. The seldom used Musgo Real shaving whipped up an abundant quality lather, the Schick loaded with an NOS Schick blade provided an effortless 2 pass DFS. I tried a cold water rinse ahead of the Myrsol lemon aftershave which left my face feeling chilly fresh. Too bad its winter outside and not spring time.....

    John Beeman Little chicken in hot water

    Monday:
    hot shower w/ Murray & Lanman Florida Water bar soap
    Homemade Pre Shave Oil
    Fatboy (9) 2+ passes
    Dreadnought (1)
    Tcheon Fung Sing Sandolo cream in a mug
    Century boar
    Thayers unscented w/aloe
    Murray & Lanman Florida Water cologne

    Very close shave today with the Fatboy cranked up but the razor seemed to drag a bit. Nothing wrong with the equipment or the products but sometimes my skin feels "sluggish" so I've often wondered if it has something to do with the humidity or what I've eaten in the past 24 hours.

    Noxzema as a pre-shave is fantastic! The ingredients are almost identical to Proraso's Pre-Shave cream and you get 4x the product at 1/4 the $$

    I agree, I have even used it as a stand alone for my shave when I didn't have time to lather a cream or soap and it worked. :)

    Only thing for me is I love the Proraso scent more than I like the Noxema scent!:angry017: But you are right...Noxema is less expensive!

    You are correct, we have had similar setups quite a few times this past year. Ditto with "great minds" LOL
