Monday Morning 10Nov14 will be a Cold Water Shave again! I will also be using the WTG-XTG-ATG method, that has worked very well each day that I shaved, It will used again tomorrow after I take my shower in the morning. On my shave on Thursday Using the WTG- XTG-ATG gave me such a BBS Shave I probably could have gone until Monday before I needed to shave again. Also on Friday Morning I did not really need to shave, but I used my Schick Xtreme 3 Disposable Razor, I had another BBS Shave, so I did not shave on Saturday Morning. I shaved this morning again using both my ATT Atlas R-1 88mm Kronos Handle, and my Schick Xtreme 3 Disposable Razor. Also I guess I'm taking part in NO-Variation NOVember. I guess that's what happens when you don't want to think about things that you enjoy.
May all of you folks have a blessed day on Monday.

S.O.T.D. ~ Menthol Monday, November 10, 2014

Prep: Warm/cool shower, Neutrogena Face Wash, Stirling Bath Soap - Barber Shop
Razor: P - 1 Super Adjustable Short Handle
Blade: Ladas
Brush: Whipped Dog Boar - 30mmX60mm
Lather: Strop Shoppe - Alpine Frost + TSD "M" Bomb
Post: Alum stick, Homemade Aloe Vera Toner, Gold Bond Medicated Lotion
Aftershave: Proraso Green Aftershave Balm

Had an excellent shave this menthol morning. WD Boar whipped up a mountain of cold frosty lather. The combination of Gold Bond Lotion and Proraso green gave a cooling finish to a great shave. Have a good week folks!

 

Hope you're feeling better today.

 

Mark, you may want to post this in the NEW SOTD thread, as this one concluded on Sunday.

 

4 days is the standard life span of a blade for me. I've had a few that could go longer, but generally don't have problems with blades not lasting 4 days. I also typically only do 2 passes per shave.
