Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #217
Custom Wood Handle Enders Speed Shaver
Enders Speed Blade

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Custom Wood Handle Enders Speed Shaver with an Enders Speed Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Schick day 8
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

With the temperature expected to reach 35 Celsius today I took a very good decision to go all out with some of the strongest mentholated products I have. The Glacial Wintergreen soap, balm, and witch hazel did a great job of freezing my face and leaving it feeling fantastic. Another brilliant BBS shave!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Shave of the Week Starting 7 June 2021

Yintal razor
Gillette Wilkinson blade
WD Synthetic brush
Proraso Green SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Got the Yintal from the Magical Traveling Box recently. Didn't know what to expect from it but, boy, am I ever surprised!! Paired up with the Gillette Wilkinson blade, it was an easy comfortable 2 pass BBS event. I'll have to use this one for awhile just to be sure today wasn't a fluke. Like Popeye used to say, "Well blow me down". My face is extremely happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

L'ESSOR and Le Coq three piece razors/Feather, beard and head shave respectively. The first even with its differential aggression is a capable and friendly daily driver. The second a la the iKon Tech, has enough exposure that its safety bar is of little consequence, virtually ensuring a nick on the back of my head as I set up the proper angle. Still , a good time had by all.

Some nice shaving gear, the Sputnik blade is one of the widest blades available, it is wider than a standard Gillette blade according to some resent information I was reading on another forum.

Razor: Gem Micromatic (MMOC)-1st gen(buttonless) 1930-32,2nd gen (Button shims) 1933-41, excellent mid range> I like to use this razor when # of shaves on a blade gets higher because it has a little more blade feel. Built to last and looks it, nice weight also. Solid brass.
1st razor made to "Twist to open" in the world, very advanced for its time period.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Italian barber Amici- mild positive citrus scent, excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Red Zebra 26mm of all my synthetics brushes this one ticks all the boxes for my type of brush, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, just the right amount of backbone for a gentle scrub(no heavy pressure mashing will ruin any brush) + excellent lather painter which combines it to feel of high quality luxury feel when lathering.(it does not get much better for myself)
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =excellent shave with my MMOC buttonless with a coated blade.


Have some great shaves!
