Menthol Monday’s Bone Chilling Report:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Versace Eros EdP (sample)

Not too much to say besides this shave was beautifully BBS as well as mega frigid. This Versace Eros fragrance……to be honest I don’t think I would want to have it in my rotation so after it’s finished I’ll forget about it.

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

I just felt like baseball today. The baseballs are ones I've gotten over the years. Most are give aways at games with my Dad when I was a kid. A few are boyhood heroes who I met and got to sign for me.
I used the T2 on 6 for my cheeks and two passes were enough to get a smooth easy feel, though I was a bit careless and got a nick. I dialed down to 4 for the neck and everything went well there.

Greetings,

(Face & Head Shave)

A relaxing cooling early morning face & head shave.

It's been a while since I last used the Lea Classic cream and forgot how much of i like the light fresh sandalwood scent with a nice mild menthol kick feels cooling which is perfect for the warmer months of the year.

Another close comfortable acceptable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Original ASL with added menthol crystals.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth cool, and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

1 Days growth



Hot Water Prep and Preshave = Derby Menthol shave cream
Soap = Maca Root & Aloe
Brush = Semogue EVO synthetic
Bowl = white plastic
Razor = Gillette Flare Tip
Blade = Dorco Prime Platinum (1)
Passes = 2 and touch ups
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
ASB = L’Occitane
ASL = Blue Stratos
Scent = TBS Black Musk

Repeat super smooth easy shave, sticking with the theme, less Maca Root scooped up today but still plenty of lather. The Dorco is smooth but not too sharp imho, but a great combination in the Flare Tip nevertheless

Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor and the Feather Professional AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Razor: Oliworks M3teorite

Tuesday morning:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Biolijf Autumn SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Pinaud Bay Rum AS Splash

In spite of the hot weather we’re getting today I wanted to go with this most delightful Autumn soap made by Biolijf in the Netherlands. Do I ever LOVE its spicy/clovey bay rum scent, my Plissoft synthetic brush whipped up tons of thick, rich, super slick lather, and it gave me so much soothing moisturizing that the Lubriderm lotion enhanced. Finally the lovely old school Pinaud Bay Rum aftershave and everything is in perfect order. Another great three pass BBS shave that was so much fun!

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

A repeated classic set up Chris. The Dorco PP are a firm favourite of mine,they are smooth with a nice balance of efficiency too imho, what I like about them is they match up well with all my DE razors.
