Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger
Enders Speed Razor
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Osage Rub

The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Two-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Razor and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday - but not a Grand Freeze:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Rapira day 8
Lea Menthol SC
Prep ASB
Mennen Skin Bracer AS Splash

This Lea Menthol cream is awesome - the scent is beautiful, it gives wonderful lather, the menthol sensation is at a nice middle of the road level, and the skincare is pretty good. The Prep and the the Skin Bracer aftershave gave me great postshave care with lots of cooling. I only had time for two passes because I have an early morning dentist appointment but I still managed to get close enough to BBS!

Have a good week - be well and safe!
