Hey, we're getting into September already - summer is almost over. Ah well........ Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Derby Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH Old Spice Cologne When will I stop using my Glacial stuff? What's the rush - they're my number one favourites. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap is so enjoyable, in my honest and unbiased opinion. What wonderful lemony-scented lather with arctic cold menthol and perfect skincare. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel are so cold, tear-inducing, and soothing. A new Derby in the Super Speed ensures BBs results with complete comfort and ease.

I am starting SEptember a day early with my Hydro-Magic Schick I-2. Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Schick I2 Hydro-Magic Personna SS Injector CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Aqua Velva The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick I2 Hydro-Magic razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable, most excellent shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Yes we do!! However I wanted to get a green tub of the Obsidian as I am running low on it. But some cruel monster seems to have bought the last 2 jars... Oh well glad I stocked up on everything else.

Menthol Monday Great shave with Frostbite and FrostByte again. The lather was thick and easy to make with my HIS synthetic. I didn't get much chill until the second pass, then it hit me pretty strong. The Fatboy glided through three passes leaving smooth comfortable skin. I got one weeper on my sideburn area, which is very strange - that area seemed impervious to harm - I've never had any trouble there before. Maybe I'm still tired from the Oddball fest last night - it was an amazing show, and you should go see it. Every comic was on their A game with new material (at least new to me). Aziz Ansari headlined and was hilarious, as was Amy Schumer, Nick Kroll, Jay Pharaoh, and others. Prep: Mickey Lee Lime Soap: HTGAM FrostByte Brush: HIS Razor: Fatboy 9-7-7 Blade: Voskhod (1) AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite
This shave couldn't be any more BBS - not even from a professional barber. The new Derby blade in my Super Speed really did the job wonderfully, and the big Turkish horsehair brush whipped the Glacial Lemon Chill soap into rich, FRIGIDLY-COLD lather. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel put tons of extra freeze in my face!
