Summer's almost officially here, folks - here's a great frosty set-up for tomorrow! Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Derby Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS Gold Bond Moisturizer Osage Rub AS Aramis EdT With these items a man is guaranteed to almost freeze to death because everything in this set-up is damned cold. The Glacial Lemon Chill is a brand-new puck and I did a test lather with it and got PERFECT results. The menthol effect is simply off the frigging charts - it really slams into you hard. The scent of this soap is so delightful and refreshing as well, and I might add that I never had such great skincare from any other lemony-scented soap or cream. The Gold Bond/Rubby Dubby Doo combo are wicked and wonderful!
Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap Semogue 1800 Boar Gillette Red Tip SS Ladas Super Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Pinaud Clubman AS The Col. Conk Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Semogue 1800 Boar brush. Two passes with my Gillette Red Tip SS razor and a Ladas Super Stainless 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 Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I just endet a wonderful shave: Soap: Cella // Brush: Omega 11126 // Razor: Rotbart Mond Extra No. 15 // Blade: Rotbart Extra dünn // Aftershave: Extro Bay Rum Very nice. The soap is great, the combination of Razor and blade is for me the best i´ve ever used. Gentle and thoroughly. The Omega Brush arrived on Saturday. The Bristles don´t need any break in time. Just great lather from start to finish. The Aftershave smells awesome and the skin care is top notch. Have a great time and take care of you. Shave on. Greetings Thorsten

Menthol Monday Nice easy shave today. The Colonel easily whipped up CBLMR into thick slick protection. I dialed down the Fatboy a little today, going 9/7/5 to see if the milder settings can produce a close shave a little more comfortably. I think it was a mixed result. Using setting 5 required more touch up, so the benefit of less blade exposure was lost to extra abrasion from touching up. I think I'll go back to higher settings tomorrow. Krampert's Frostbite provided a nice cool and scent while adding to the skin care of CB.

Wowwwwww, I'm smoother than smooth and feeling fresh and chilly after this shave. I'm still freaked out at how easy these new Glacials lather, and at how cold they feel!

The M2 is pretty mild and required alot of touch ups to get a near BBS. I have a R2 on loan as well so I might give that a try in the morning.

This, with a new Feather Blade in the Parker is my no-fail perfect shave. No nicks, no weepers, no tears, no blood shed. I'm ready to face the week!
GOTTA GET BACK TO WORK, MENTHOL MONDAY SOTD 6-15-15 Razor: Eversharp-Schick Injector Model G Blade: Schick Brush: WD Silvertip Soap: Stirling Black Ice AS: Barbasol Pacific Rush Really enjoying injector razors as a "change of pace" from the DE's I've been using. This is my second antique shop find for $4. I've been experiencing very close DFS shaves with much less AS 'sting' afterwards. Question: how long do injector blades last?
