Menthol Monday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Ingram Shave Cream Tom's 3D Printed Brush by @twhite Valet VC2 Valet AutoStrop (26) CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shave Cream face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes with the Valet VC2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade. It appears that this blade has lost its edge. I switched to my Enders Speed Shaver with a Schick Proline blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/new Gillette Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS Prep ASB Osage Rub AS Splash I was enjoying the Kudu’s beautiful coffee/peppermint scent and lather as well as the menthol sensation so much that I decided to do a third pass and I got a perfect BBS shave. After a nice massage with the Prep and a couple of splashes of the Rubby Dubby Doo my face felt well moisturized and frozen stiff. The new Gillette blade really did the job for me!
Hi Bob, I believe you asked me a while back where Central Texas Soaps is located. It's in Brady. (They just sent me en e-mail about new bar soaps available).

Star DE Razor Personna Platinum Chrome (Israeli Red) Blade Frank Shaving Boar Brush Proraso Green/LMS Spearmint Soap Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Orange Gillette After Shave Gel After using this razor a few times, and in my opinion, it is a more efficient razor than a Post War Gillette Tech. I would say that it shaves like a WW II Tech, but is slightly heavier, which I like. Two passes with minimal touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
The Way..................................Of Tuesday: same Stoylin plan as today, HOWEVER: brush-Burma Shave.
