Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #452 Synthetic
Schick M-2 Adjustable
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Mennen Skin Bracer

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #452 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M-2 Adjustable injector razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Menthol Monday:

A gorgeously scented Grand Freeze!

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 5
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
Prep ASB
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash

What a delightful soap and aftershave this Glacial Frozen Tuxedo are - they’re renamed after originally being called Eskimo Tuxedo because of some controversy that unfairly targeted Rod. The scent is absolutely BEAUTIFUL - it’s Green Irish Tweed all the way or Sharp Dressed Man but with killer cold menthol. I had so much joy lathering up the soap and the slickness had my razor skating across my face. The Prep felt so moisturizing as well as soothing and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave gave me its frigid menthol kick along with its heavenly scent. Another dynamite three pass BBS shave to start off the week - it was such a pleasure!

Be well and stay safe - see you tomorrow!

Shave of the Week Starting 6/17/2024

Weber DLC razor
Gillette 365 blade
PAA Amber Aerolite brush
VDH Fresh Eucalyptus SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Saw that VDH has a couple of new SS and thought I'd try them out. I have used VDH products previously and have had nice shaves with them. This one's a bit different as it didn't make lather as easily as the Luxury or Original but it did make a fine lather that worked well. I'll use this one for the week and report on it later. Initial thoughts are that it's nice and has a pleasant but mild scent. At any rate, mu face is happy. Now go enjoy yoiur day folks.
