Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Ingram Shave Cream
Semogue Excelsior 1305
Cobra Classic
Feather Artist Club Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The Ingram Shave Cream lathered well with Semogue Excelsior 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic razor and the Feather Artist Club Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

and...ANOTHER artisan to look up.

Shave of the Week Starting 1/6/2025

Razor............Parker 78r
Blade............Parker Platinum
Soap.............TFS
Brush...........TRC Synthetic
Post.............Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S.............Assorted

Pleasant shave to start the week with. Everything worked well together and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Very courageous of you to do Osage in January.

Maybe I'll have to look at this Grooming Dept. again. I have their "Fine Latigo" clone(used it over the week-end) and enjoy it.

Menthol Monday’s Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson day 13
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

If a setup like this doesn’t freeze your face off then nothing will - man alive, this Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are loaded to the brim with lethally cold menthol. The scent is so delightful - the strawberry seems to be a bit more dominant but the lemony notes are there too, the soap provided more than enough lather for two guys to shave with, and the postshave feeling was so soothing as well as comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer has no shortage of menthol either, and it gives great protection from dryness, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its beautiful scent that lasts all day. Three passes did the job for me - a super duper BBS shave that was such a pleasure but the blade is soon going to be finished.

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