Excellent Menthol Monday Last day of prep before students arrive tomorrow. I went with the Krampert’s Frostbite combo and it was amazing. Thick creamy lather and enough chill to last for nearly an hour. I could barely notice my ’59 Fatboy removing my stubble. I am running very low on the aftershave, I’ll need to get a refill soon. Prep: Warm shower Soap: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite Brush: HIS lather monster Razor: ’59 Fatboy Blade: Voskhod (3) AS: Krampert’s Finest Frostbite

MONDAY Away for several days in the Sierra wilderness (actually in a large posh cabin with 10 other guys from the church staff) where my idea of roughing it is having only one razor and soap to use and spotty wifi. Young guys are fascinated ( or puzzled) when I break out this old cutthroat razor. I offer to share but no takers. Their loss! Darn near bbs shave too! Happy Monday...wherever today may find you!

I had reset the Silvertip 2 times and I'm very happy with the knot now, set at 50mm. Nice backbone and very soft. The handle fits the hand nicely. My FB, helped with the Feather blade, made quick work in 2 passes. A little touchup on my neck ATG on 3 and done. The WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dries some Vintage Old Spice from 1973! Y'all have a good one.
