Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh #445 Synthetic
Supply SE Injector
Supply Black Label Blade
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #445 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector Razor and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Menthol Monday - a mildly cooling shave:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/new Astra Green
Bielita SC (from Belarus and very nice)
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

Not a Grand Freeze, in fact far from it. The Bielita cream is from Belarus and it’s very popular in Russia as well as in Kazakhstan and Moldova . The scent is kind of flowery so it’s definitely not old school barbershoppy but it’s pleasant enough, the lather whips up so thick, rich, slick as well as protective, it’s mildly but pleasantly mentholated, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave completed the job beautifully. The Junjie loaded with a brand new Astra Green blade ensured a great two pass BBS shave that I really enjoyed!

Have a good week - be well and stay safe!

Parker 78r razor
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless blade (green ones)
AP Shave Co brush
Yardley Shave Soap
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

The 7 O'Clock Super Stainless aren't one of my favorite blades but they are very smooth in the 78r. The vintage Yardley SS lathered up easily and gave good protection. It's a nice soap IMO. All is well and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Thank you.
