    Menthol Monday December 28th was the full meal deal today. Taking some vacation time so this mornings shower & shave was very relaxing...........

    Pre-shave: Noxzema w/moisturizer
    Cream/Brush: Proraso cream lathered in Becker scuttle w/Omega 6151 Pure
    Razor/Blade: Red Tip Super Speed w/7 o'clock Sharp Edge (yellow). 1st time w/this recently acquired razor. Combined w/the fresh Sharp Edge blade it shaved wonderfully.........
    Post: Osma Alum then witch hazel rinse followed by Nivea ASB finishing w/Barbasol Blue

    2-passes w/some touch-up for a near BBS shave!

    Monday:

    Prep: Hot shower, Nivea for Men Original Moisturizing Face Wash
    Brush: Omega 11575 Boar
    Lather: Stirling Glacial Obsidian Soap
    Razor: Birth year/quarter Gillette Black Handle Super Speed
    Blade: Bic Chrome Platinum (5)
    Passes: WTG, XTG (9, 10)
    Post: Cold water rinse, Bloc Osma Alum, Dickinson's WH, Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS splash
    Cologne: Xeryus by Givenchy

    I should have changed the blade. Lather was really good for what I expect from Stirling this AM; perhaps Stirling lathers better with boar? The razor continues to be smooth and mild, but the blade was fairly dull and tuggy. Luckily, the amount of menthol in the Stirling + the Aqua Velva Ice Blue combined to stop any razor burn cold (sorry, couldn't help the pun). I'd put today's results somewhere between SAS and DFS.

    L'Oréal Men Expert Hydra Energetic face wash
    2014 Weber PH SS "Bulldog" razor
    Vikings Sword (2) blade
    RazoRock P.160 SS
    Bestshave #6 brush

    Penguins Bay Rum AS

    Warm shower followed by a nice shave.
    Been on a 2,5 hour MTB-ride today, so I was wasted when I hit the shower.
    Somewhere along 2015 I lost my shape, and I felt that today! I hit the wall way to far from home.
    After the shave I felt born as new :)

    Nice photo and curious about your brush of the day. Read conflicting things about theBestshave #6. Some really like them and some say smells bad. What has been your experience ? Thinking of getting a horse hair brush.

    I had two days growth so I used my unknown Slant today. Very aggressive but very efficient on the first pass. Definitely have to pay attention to speed and pressure with this one. I also didn't use a mug to lather up this time, just load then face lather. Not bad but I think I still prefer working up the lather in a mug or bowl. The eucalyptus mint lotion is nice, smooth and lightly scented. A couple nicks but no weepers and an overall GOOD shave.
