This tub is old and one of my first I bought. I like to use it every once in a while in the summer months because of the menthol kick. It is just like the day I bought it for Menthol strength.

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #313 Badger
Rolls Traveler
1953 Rolls Blade
CWR
Osaage Rub

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #313 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Rolls Traveler Razor with a 1953 Rolls Blade Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
I know, the picture shows Tabac AS, but I really used Osage Rub due to a Senior Moment.

Beautiful shave and picture Jim!

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Shark day 14
Bundubeard Kameelperd’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Would you guys believe that I’m using a 250 gram puck of this Kameelperd soap that I received almost four years ago and there’s still lots of it left? It’s unbelievable how long this stuff lasts. It’s glycerine based, it has a delightful coffee/peppermint scent, the lather is thicker and richer than hell, the menthol sensation is so potent that it’s a match for any of the Stirling Glacials, and it has great skincare. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave left me mega soothed as well as frozen stiff and I absolutely love the Bleu de Chanel. This Shark blade is officially retired after two weeks of faithful service. What a brilliant three pass BBS shave this was!

Happy shaving to all - be well and safe!
