A big and long story is not too necessary! Menthol Monday: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash #6 Horsehair Super Speed/new Shark Gada Cool Mint SC Anherb AS Conditioner Barbon AS Here's an awesome set-up which I highly recommend to any other menthol addicts. The L'Oreal facial wash feels really cooling, the Gada Cool Mint cream is a certified face-freezer, and the Anherb conditioner and the Barbon aftershave put lots of additional icicles in your face. Although the Shark blades are good, I wouldn't say they're quite as good as the Rapiras.

SOTD Monday 7-29-2013 Gillette Old Type w/Crystal Musgo Real SC GT G4 Scuttle Caswell Massey Art Deco Badger Dickinson's Witch Hazel Nivea Replenishing ASB Mennen Original Skin Bracer Haven't used a Badger Brush in a long time. I prefer the softness of good Boar Brushes and use them 99% of the time. This Badger is an oldie and a goodie though and always does a great job of lathering. Found the OT buried in the cabinet drawer and decided to show it some love this morning. Teamed with the Crystal this is an outstanding performer! Great way to start off the week. Keep cool Gentlemen!

This is the coldest soap/cream that I have ever use. At least a few levels up from my most menthol products (Gada Cool Mint,Arko Ice Mint) which I like very much. It was a great shave
