    Coate’s Sandalwood Cream today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN 2-Band Finest brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Clubman Whiskey Woods aftershave.

    Menthol Monday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream
    The Brush by Tom
    Gillette Techmatic
    Techmatic Adjustable
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream face lathered well with The Brush by Tom. I did two passes with the Gillette Techmatic razor with a Techmatic Adjustable razor band 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...

    True story:
    i once went post-shave to my newly purchased bottle of Tabac A/S only to find it near empty. Now i found this most confusing and checked everywhere to see if there was a hole or if it had fallen down and leaked. No such clues were found. However on visiting the main bathroom later that day, i noted it smelled rather fragrant. Tabac fragrant.... I mentioned this to my better half who, after a pathetically small amount of questioning fessed up to hating the Tabac so much that she had poured the A/S down the toilet :shocked002:

    I had to laugh tbh. She was feeling very guilty about it :p

    The toilet smelled great for about a week afterwards.

    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Wilkinson
    Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
    Stirling Glacial Obsidian ASB
    B&M Arctique AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    I think my face will need all day to thaw out after this menthol bombardment. Even the mentholated pre-shave soap from Stirling is pretty cold, although nothing like the Glacial Obsidian soap which has such a delightful black licorice scent as well as awesome lather that’s so rich and slick. I finally finished the sample of the matching balm so I’ll try to get myself another bottle because I love this stuff. The Arctique aftershave felt like liquid nitrogen but not only does it feel great, it smells lovely yet it doesn’t ruin the scent of a cologne or an eau de toilette. The new Wilkinson blade helped to give me a perfect three pass BBS shave that was so enjoyable! A0F358FC-8004-47BF-86A3-FF562A06F7DD.jpeg

    For a mild razor the KCB is surprisingly effective.
