    02487FB9-4165-435F-A004-4419ABDEDC67.jpeg PreShave Shower: Stirling Soap Sandpiper Shampoo/Conditioner bars and Bathsoap followed by a face scrub using Stirling Soap Mentha scrub.

    PreShave Shave: applied 1 swipe of Paa’s mentholated 2.0 cube ATG, then rubbed in vigorously with fingers producing quite a lather which always amazes me considering how little I use.

    Shave: Brush: Simpson Trafalgar Synthetic T3, made a bowl lather in my Captains Choice Copper Oceanic bowl thats over 6 inches wide across the top, its huge and I love it! Soap: A mix of 2 Stirling Soap samples: Barbershop/Haverford. Razor used for 1st pass and a half was a Feather Shavette SS with a Proguard blade on its 3rd use. For the last pass and some cleanup I used my Fatip open comb slant il Grosso in the gold finish.

    Post shave: Stirling Soap Barbershop balm followed by their barbershop splash which is my wifes favorite.

    I like Stirling Barbershop and Haverford both. Mixing them seems like it would be an excellent idea.

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Lea Menthol Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger
    Gillette Fatboy G2
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS

    The Lea Menthol Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fatboy G2 Razor (7) and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 9
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

    Man alive, this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave smell absolutely GORGEOUS. The scent is a perfect copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed with two boatloads of frigid menthol. The soap buried my face in such thick, rich, super slick lather, the menthol sensation felt killer cold, and the postshave feeling was terrific. The Stoffel balm and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave to start the week!

    Be well and safe lads and lassies!

    How's the pour-spout on THAT Aqua Velva? Any smaller than the current popular one?

    I'm glad to know the Frosted Spearmint isn't the only very cold MSC.
