A woodsy, smoky, spicy, mountain-inspired fragrance. Hope this helps Jeff...it's one of those soaps that just comes alive brilliantly when the brush and water meet it.
I called last November my "Science Month". Did I do anything about it? Yes, if the Golden State Warriors play their home games in Newark, NJ!! I now plan to try to rebound from my error, with "Science Fortnight", as I close out the month of March in my shaving "lab". By April around here, there should be a touch of spring, so as I can have a plan in mind. But until then, it's a "mix&match" fortnight. It begins with: Wednesday's Planned Shave Prep-Dial 4 Men(in hot shower) Cream-Rise Super Foam Razor Gillette Sensor 2 Pivot + DisposeABLE( no science with this baby) A.S.-Wind Drift by English Leather(via Mem Co.)
SOTD March 15, 2016 Razor - PAL injector (U.S.) Brush - Semogue 820 Soap - Proraso sensitive Pre - Soap Works Clay Bar Post - TBS Cocoa Butter Baton First shaves with a recent PAL injector find. Used a Ted Pella aka Personna blade. Lighter weighted feel than Schick E or G's. Close efficient shave but not as aggressive as a E2. Nice shaving device intuitive angle. Notice brass quality on older Schick like E's are hard to beat. Not sure when these were made.
Wednesday's TESC Pre-Shave Oil Arko Stick Jayaruh #54 synthetic Schick M2 Adjustable Personna CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Florida Water Arko Stick Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #54 synthetic brush. Two passes with my Schick M2 Adjustable razor and a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Florida Water After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Jeff, The biggest drawback of menthol...watery eyes! Do your eyes water as much as mine are as I Titanic my way through a puck of mentholated Williams soap. I added 7g of menthol crystals to a then puck weighing about 140g. I probably have 3-4 shaves worth of soap remaining and it's as eye-wateringly (sic) strong now as it was the first day. If I choose to repeat the process, I will cut the menthol crystals down to 3g and add a drop or two of eucalyptus oil.
My friend, if you want to know about a soap which can cause your eyes to tear then try any one of the Glacials. Except for the Cryogen, no other soap has ever done this to me - not even the Yeti Snot. The first time I ever used one of these soaps I had my doubts that I would be able to do even an entire first pass. My face felt like it was being frozen by liquid nitrogen and my eyes were tearing almost from the get-go not to mention how my nose was running. Rod did something to these soaps last year which increased the freezing effect and they now feel every bit as cold as the Cryogen with MUCH better lather and skincare, as well as retaining their beautiful scents. Wenn man Menthol liebt sind diese Seifen absolut prima sowie Spitzenklass!
SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: Musgo Real classic Razor: Gillette superspeed flair tip Blade: Gillette Goal (1st shave) Brush: RazoRock plissoft Soap: Musgo Real Shaving Puck Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Balm: MLS Italian Stallion 2 pass shave today. This Musgo Real shaving soap has made its way to the top 5 soaps. Excellent lather that is very slick, and has that great classic Musgo scent. The Gillette Goal seemed to be a sharp blade so far. Got a DFS with little irritation. Finished with MLS Italian Stallion and Clubman. Hope everyone had a great shave!
