My shaving plans for tomorrow will be as follows! Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 7 Stirling Glacial Lavender SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Santos de Cartier EdT I enjoyed my shave with the Glacial Lavender soap so much yesterday that I decided to use it again tomorrow. This stuff has such an awesome blend of powerful menthol and refined, classy lavender, it gives great lather with a crazy-cold menthol effect like all the Glacial soaps give, and you can't beat the skincare. The Gold Bond moisturizer is another terrific face-freezer which protects against dryness and irritation, and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel as I've said before is the most powerfully-mentholated aftershave I've ever used.
Monday's Nivea Men's Face Wash Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap Wild Cherry STB My Dad's Schick E3 Schick Platinum Plus CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Barbasol AS The Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Wild Cherry Silver Tip Brush. Two passes with my Schick E3 and Schick Platinum Plus Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Barbasol after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Evening Shave for Tomorrow A great way to end a very busy workday: hot shower and fantastic MENTHOL-LADEN shave with my favorite razor. It's times such as these that I am so glad I got back into wet-shaving. I don't ever recall thinking myself during my cartridge days, "Oh boy, I get to shave tonight!" Coincidentally, those were my exact thoughts tonight… Have a wonderful Monday, everyone!
Planned SOTD for January 19, 2015 I plan to continue with my current set up, as it is giving me great results. Have a great week, everyone!

Monday Morning Shave Razor: Gillette Red Tip Blade: Topaz Stainless (5) Brush: Isana Men Pure Badger Cream: Nivea Sensitive Balm: Yves Rocher Sensitive Topaz blade reached to its expiry usage on its fifth shave and I tossed it out. It's a great blade btw. I can order more when I finish the blades I have (approximately 15 years later )
Menthol Monday A smooth and easy shave today. My Aristocrat is a joy to use. It may not get as close as Der Vorschlaghammer, but it's perfect for giving my neck a break and a more care free shave. There seems to be little chance of weepers or burn with this beauty. Krampert's Finest Frostbite perfectly finished off my shave and gave me a wonderfully chilly start to the day.

Menthol Monday Stirling Glacial Obsidian may be the most mentholated product on the planet. A tiny bit goes a long way to livening up a shave. The L'Occitane provided a very slick and protective base. Boy, does this wake you up on a Monday morning. L'Occitane Cade Stirling Glacial Obsidian Slim Adjustable Ladas Blade

Barbasol Floating Head Razor Rapira Swedish Supersteel Semogue BC Cerda Institut Karite Soap Alum Superior 70 Tet-A-Tet ASB Felt like changing the razor this morning and had a lovely shave. The only thing I do not like about the Barbasol razor is the length of the handle. At 3" it would be perfect for me, but that is a minor quip. I have been using the IK soap since late November IIRC and still have over 50% of the puck left. It should get me through the winter. Have a good day all.
