Menthol Monday:

It’s kind of chilly here this morning so I decided to go relatively mild on the menthol!

PAA Cold Spices SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

Well, I must admit that I had much, much better lather from the Cold Spices soap today because I left my brush somewhat wetter before I started loading it and I only had to add a little extra water once. Truthfully and honestly the scent is indeed very close to the Shulton Old Spice soap and aftershave but the menthol sort of detracts from the scent a bit. This soap is extremely slick and the postshave feeling is fairly comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of soothing, and the Cold Spices aftershave went on really chilly - if there was no menthol it would be a great substitute for the Shulton Old Spice stuff. Three passes left me really BBS - another awesome shave!

Happy Labour Day folks - enjoy your day!

What a Grand Freeze this was! (South African style!)

Bundubeard Cool as a Cucumber SS (with Glacial type menthol)
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

To look at this Cool as a Cucumber soap you would think it’s either Colonel Conk Lime or Yeti Snot because it’s the same colour and it’s glycerine based. This soap has a very nice scent - there’s a lot of peppermint which sort of covers the cucumber notes, it’s a LOT easier to lather than the Yeti Snot, it gives a menthol sensation that can knock a polar bear on his butt, and it’s so skin friendly - no dryness or irritation whatsoever. The Stoffel balm smells really nice also, and not only is it freezing cold, it’s so soothing and moisturizing. Last but not least the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on with its gorgeous old school barbershop scent that I love so much along with a bloody strong menthol kick. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was tons of fun!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

Did I ever freeze my kisser off - wow, this Glacial Citron soap and aftershave are WONDERFUL. The scent is brilliant - lemon, lime, grapefruit, and a bit of tangerine all come together beautifully to make this stuff so refreshing and summery, the soap lathers like there’s no tomorrow, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Gold Bond moisturizer felt so soothing as well as chilly, and the Glacial Citron aftershave went on with its frigid menthol kick. Finally the Eau Sauvage fragrance which is so old school classy and I’m ready to enjoy another day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave!

Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Not only does this Glacial Mango Sunrise feel like liquid nitrogen on my skin and lather like a maniac it smells so beautiful. Along with the mango scent I catch other notes such as cream and a bit of musk - what a delightful scent. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so good as a balm, and the Northern Elixir aftershave is another menthol atom bomb with a nice peppermint/eucalyptus scent. Finally the Givenchy Pour Homme fragrance which I received two years ago - it smells aquatic and fresh. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Guys, you really need to be able to handle strong menthol if you plan to use this Glacial Frozen Tuxedo or any other Glacial soap and aftershave because what I used this morning is frigging INTENSE. The scent is so gorgeous, the soap lathers like a maniac, the menthol sensation clobbers your face, and the postshave care is superb. The Gold Bond moisturizer and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave were a perfect finish. Three delightful passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave!

Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

My dear brother Abir in Kolkata, India makes fabulous soaps and aftershave products - let me tell you that this Blend 47 is a great example of his talent. The scent is so nice - it’s eucalyptus in a similar way to Proraso Green but much nicer, the soap is vegan based, it gives amazing lather, the menthol sensation is really good, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable as well as soothing. The Blend 47 balm has the same nice scent as the soap, it’s very strongly mentholated, and it’s so soothing. The Northern Elixir aftershave has a lovely eucalyptus/peppermint scent, and it’s FRIGID. Finally the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and it’s gonna be a nice, relaxing day of retirement for me. What a great three pass BBS shave this was!

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead - be well and stay safe!

A lulu of a Grand Freeze!

Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash

This setup is not for the faint of heart because it’s bloody FRIGID. The Glacial Obsidian soap’s black licorice scent is so delightful, I had tons of rich, super slick, cushiony lather, the menthol sensation pummelled my face right from the get go, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Stoffel balm from Bundubeard has such a nice peppermint scent, and it’s so soothing as well as icy cold, and the Northern Elixir aftershave is another bona fide menthol atom bomb - its scent is also great. Last but not least the super nice Obsession fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another relaxing day of retirement. Three passes froze me to the max and left me as smooth as silk - what a dynamite shave this was!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!
