It got cold as heck again here - ah well, that's life! It'll feel plenty frigid in my bathroom as well when I shave, because it going to be a special day which is: Menthol Monday! Gatsby Ice Cooling Gel Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Sharp Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Anherb AS Conditioner Osage Rub AS Fahrenheit EdT If you're a menthol monkey like I am then this set-up is your ticket because every item is bone-chillingly cold. The Gatsby face wash is almost a face-freezer by itself and it has excellent skincare with a nice scent. Lather up with the Glacial Obsidian soap and you're going to shiver - this I guarantee along with wonderful moisturizing and soothing. The Anherb conditioner continues that iciness and post-shave care so well, and the Rubby Dubby Doo freezes the daylights out of you altogether!
March 23 Plans Stirling Sheep bath/face soap Merkur 37C slant bar razor Feather blade (day 2) Omega 10098 boar brush Arko Two passes Alum, Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, & unrefined shea butter This will be my third shave with Arko. My initial impression is that it is a great performing soap. After that, I will set it aside (and let the stick continue to breathe - like a fine bottle of wine that has just been uncorked ) until Arko April. I really enjoy using my Omega brush. It does a great job with soaps, and it took no time at all to break in. It has great face feel, and I highly recommend this brush to anyone! I very much enjoy reading the SOTD posts. You guys rock! Have a blessed week!
