As plainly and simply as this! Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Sharp Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Oscar de la Renta Pour Lui EdT The same set-up as yesterday morning and I said I was going to use it again. The other day when I was lathering up with the Glacial Obsidian soap, within seconds the menthol effect jumped on me and my eyes were tearing from it. The longer the lather was on my face, the colder it felt and when I slapped on the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel, I felt a freezing sensation from it which lasted almost the whole morning - was it beautiful!

Two passes with my Schick J2 and Schick Plus Platinum blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. The blade was very smooth with no tugging. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Mennen Skin Bracer after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday! Superb shave today! The Proraso got me off to a cold start that never let up. I actually had to stop and wipe tears out of my eyes. It's been too long since I used FrostByte! This soap is excellent. I almost couldn't feel the Aristocrat cutting my stubble throughout this smooth and easy shave. No weepers or irritation at all. The FrostByte aftershave lotion fed my face and kicked up the menthol to make it last longer. Glorious. The stand was made for me by my friend JR - thanks again, sir! Excellent workmanship. Prep: Proraso Green Crema pre Barba Soap: Synergy FrostByte Brush: HIS XL Razor: Gillette Aristocrat Blade: Personna lab blue (2) AS: Synergy FrostByte lotion EdC: HTGAM Gondolier

Monday: hot shower w/Grandpa's Orange Essence bar soap Maggard Sweet Orange PSO Gillette Senator 1 pass Gillette Silver Blue (1) VDH boar Maggard Orange Menthol soap Humphrey's Citrus WH Fine L'Orange Noir AS Pressed for time this morning so just one pass which assures another shave tomorrow. First time with the Orange Menthol and it's very light on the menthol so if you're a face freezer you'll probably need to add a few drops of M-bomb.
