SoS: August 8, 2016 - August 14, 2016

Kick-off time for a new weekly thread!

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/new Shark
Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo S/S
Diana Menthol Balm
Barrister & Mann Arctique A/S Splash

Cold enough?

 

That setup is so cold I can feel it in Denver!

 

Monday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TABAC
Jayaruh #86
Pal Injecto-Matic
Schick Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The TABAC Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #86 Sunrise synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-Matic razor with an Schick Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

What is it with this Denver climate? A few years ago, I saw that during back-to-back days in January, it was 70 one day, then 30 the next. Well, at least the sun shines a little over 2/3 of the year.

 

My "Menthol Monday" will be, once again, represented in my shower:

bodywash-Stirling Soap(Barbershop)
deodorant soap-Coast(the "Eye Opener")
shampoo-(here it comes!)-Dove Men + Care(with Caffeine and Menthol)
deodorant(post-shave)-Mennen Speed Stick Regular

I found the Bunny to be an excellent razor head. Look forward to your thoughts!

 

I've posted my experience so far http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-us-west-coast-bunny-injector-pass-around.49870/page-27. Like the bunny but not the Personna blades but could have been just the one I used and popping in a new one for tomorrows shave.

 

Razor: Gillette Slim (7)
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge (1)
Brush: Vie-long Horse Hair
Cream: Arko Hydrate
Cologne: Tariş Lemon

 

Same setup as yesterday, but didn't get to take a picture then. Love the orange theme and the scents go quite well together.
I'm very pleased to experience the Voskhod is a good fella in the iKon.
I remember it being one of the best in my other razors, so I might have found an all-round blade that goes well in the iKon too.
Still awesome prices from Russia, so bulk-buy is imminent I fear!
I'm left almost BBS. I had a zit (grr) on my chin, which is also a trouble-spot for me, so I had to go extra light to not pain myself.
My Rockwell handle is back on the X3 head - they go so well together and fits perfectly (of course) in the Rockwell stand.
There's something funny about the Floïd splash - it feels very soft, like silk water if such existed. Velvety feel when rubbed on the skin.
I have never experienced another splash that way and I can't tell from the ingredients what might cause it.
It feels plain awesome when applied!​
