Wooooooo talk about some menthol action!!

Cream: Arko Ice Mint
Razor: Yuma
Blade: Derby Extra Super Stainless (5)
Brush: Col. Conk 904
Post: Aqua Velva Ice Blue and a bit of Lea Shave Balm

The first go with the Arko Ice Mint brought me to a decision.....it is by far my favorite shave cream to date. Super smooth shave...easy lathering rendering good cushion! The Derby Blade was still shaving smooth as silk! Still Love the Yuma....decided to add in the Velva today mixed with the Lea for some added menthol effect....finished my shave about 10 minutes ago and my face still feels like its wet getting hit by a cool breeze. Super awesome shave today! DFS!!
