Proraso Red Encore Yesterday's shave was so good it deserved a sequel. I got another excellent shave today. The lather monster easily whipped up the Shea laden soap into yogurty goodness. Der Vorschlaghammer smoothly guillotined my stubble leaving a smooth and irritation free face and neck. I finished with KFBR instead of Frostbite because it's 8° today.

1/5/2015 Menthol Monday!! Woo Hoo!! Prep: Hot shower with Nivea Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO Razor: Gillette 1940s Super Speed, CMON Filarmonica Doble Temple straight razor Blade: Astra SP (4) Brush: Turkish #6 Soap: Sterling - Margaritas in the arctic After: Home made ASB, Osage Rub Cologne: Cuir Cannage A cold shave on Menthol Monday!! The Turkish #6 whipped up the MITA perfectly. The lather was thick, stable and slick. The MITA really brought the chill this morning. The SS and the Fily did their job admirably. The Osage Rub kept the freezing feeling going for another 20 minutes and the Cuir Cannage will have me smelling great all day. With all things considered, a Darn Fine Shave + was had. Have a blessed day!!

The Astra probably should have been replaced, or more likely after using a Personna74 yesterday everything else will seem sub-par now. Still working on angles with new razor.
