Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap
Jayaruh #423
AutoStrop A2
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Osage Rub

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #423 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Have a great day!​

Menthol Monday:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new 7 AM
Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB
Master Splash Creations Frosted Spearmint AS Splash

If a setup like this doesn’t freeze your face off I don’t think anything will - I wish this Glacial Spearmint soap and balm were still in production because they’re both so fantastic. My bathroom still smells a little from spearmint from the soap and from Fernando’s wonderful Frosted Spearmint aftershave which is also a menthol atom bomb. What a great BBS shave this was!

Enjoy your week and your shaves - be well and safe!

A very nice 2 pass shave with this razor. As this has been my primary razor for almost 3 months, I have put all of my other razors away.

Thank you Gary.

Very nice new lc shave and pix Gary.

Thank you Gary.

This 1941 Russkie has always been one of my favorites. The quarter hollow grind seems to hide how sharp it really is. Three days of stubble are now a memory and I’m indulging in some prolonged face-rubbing of the super close result
