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...

 

Monday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bergamot Lavender

Catie’s Bubbles La Terre Verte today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

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!

 

What a nicely worded mug . I'll bet that's exactly what the Col. is/was.

 

Two Osidge splashes? Ah well, I suppose you're used to its freezing action by now .

 

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).

 

Thank you.

That looks like a relatively new bottle of Southern Oud. Do you have backups too like I do?

15 July, Monday

Soap: Southern Witchcraft "Autumn Ash"
Brush: Kent Infinity
Razor: Gillette Red Tip
Blade: Elios
Post Shave: Cold water, Booster Mosswood

 

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.

 

That Gillette is my "travel" aftershave. I like it.

 

Good stuff for sensitive skin.

Nice combination, that.
