Prep: Hot Shower. Axe Energizing Face Wash Boost
Razor: iKon B1 Standard base
Blade: Personna Lab Blue
Lather: Mike's Natural Hungarian Lavender
Brush: Semogue 830
Post: Thayers Cucumber WH. Gold Bond Ultimate
Aftershave: Myrsol F/Extra
Great shave. I love this Hungarian Lavender. 3 pass shave with the iKon B1, 1 WTG. 2 ATG and I'm smooth as silk. My only complaint about the Semogue 830 is that it doesn't hold enough soap, it's a very soft brush.

eBarberShop "O" clone injector razor
Personna blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
CO Bigelow SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
M&L Florida Water w/added menthol

Nice crisp refreshing shave this a.m. and ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

As I said yesterday, I opted for a less frigid shave than usual on a Menthol Monday but I still got a very cold one with great BBS results. My new Omega brush performed surprisingly well at whipping up rich, thick lather from the Palmolive Menthol cream. The Gold Bond moisturizer added plenty of extra cooling, and the Rubby Dubby Doo completed the freeze just the way I like it!

 

I did a couple of weeks ago and did see some improvements, I prefer to face lather so it's a small inconvenience.

Ralph Lauren safari silvertip
catie's bubbles mile high menthol
Stahly head/ maggard mr5 handle
Gillette silver blue(1)
Skin Bracer
today's shave was nice. the safari brush seemed very soft today, almost hard to work with soft, but Catie's is so easy to explode into great lather that all was well. Gillette sb first time use, no issues. the Stahly still continues to amaze, I think I'll try to get another for my wife, it is so very mild while getting the job done so well. finished with Bracer, cuz it was as close to mhm as I could detect.
hope y'all did as well, or better.

GO! BRONCOS!

Love that flask! The aftershave inside is amazing, too.

GOOD MORNING GUYS. BORED THIS MORNING I DECIDED TO TRY MY MERKUR HEAD ON MY BAZOOKA HANDLE. WOW! WHAT A REVELATION, AN EPIPHANY EVEN. THIS COMBO PAIRED WITH THE PERSONNA LAB BLADE WENT BEYOND SMOOTH, THIS WAS LIKE SHAVING MY FACE WITH SILK. INSPIRED AFTER A THREE PASS BBS I DECIDED TO PUSH FURTHER AND DID ANOTHER XTG IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND ENDED UP WITH AN UBER BBS. JUST AMAZING. CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT THE STERLING MITA AND THE GIANT OMEGA #48 DID IT JUSTICE. WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY. HAVE A GREAT DAY AND A GREAT SHAVE MY FRIENDS.

 

Thanks! Frostbite is a really neat aftershave. I love the feeling when the cold outside air hits my Frostbitten face. Ahhhhh!
