Wednesday's Dove Men Face Wash Mitchell's Wool Fat Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Gem Push-button GEM Stainless CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Clubman The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip brush. Two passes with my Gem Push-button razor and a GEM Stainless SE 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 Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Wednesday morning's bone-chilling shave: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/Derby day 3 Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH YSL Pour Homme EdT It takes a really hard-core menthol maniac (like myself!) to shave with this kind of set-up because we're talking about some very serious, major freezing which can wreak havoc on somebody whose skin cannot tolerate anything so intense. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap's lather is so rich, easy-to-create, so stable as well as so bitterly-cold with a most delightful scent and such great protection against dryness or irritation. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel can out-freeze even the Rubby Dubby Doo or the Penguin. My Super Speed/Derby combination always deliver on the closeness, smoothness, and comfort.

30 day Focus - Day 25 MDC Lavender Face Lathered Voskhod Blade (Day 1 on blade, Day 1 on Voskhod) Slim Adjustable set to 8 3 passes I like the Voskhod blade a lot, being just behind my favorite, which is the Ladas. The Voskhod always seems super smooth and is plenty sharp for me. Very nice shave today.
OMG, cold is not the word after this great shave - it's seriously FRIGID. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap delivered a ton of lather and a freeze which could give a polar bear pneumonia. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel added two tons of additional iciness and perfect skincare!
