Oh la la, we're still getting tremendous summer heat, so here's how I'll keep cool and comfy for tomorrow! Menthol Monday: Gatsby Ice Cooling Gel Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Derby Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS Stirling Glacial Obsidian AS Balm Osage Rub AS Chabrawichi 555 Cologne I'm also celebrating the soon-to-be arrival of my new Glacial Obsidian soaps which I ordered last week from Rod, so I decided to go with this stuff and I'm so happy I did. It's absolutely perfect for a Menthol Monday Shave because it's so frigid as well as so full of wonderful lather and skincare. Its matching balm is the same type of menthol atom bomb, and so is the Rubby Dubby Doo!

Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Schick J2 Personna SS CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Aqua Velva The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick J2 razor and a Personna SS Injector 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 Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Man oh man, do I ever love the Glacial Obsidian soap - it froze me out with such great lather and its black liquorice scent which I find fantastic. The matching balm is one of the most soothing (and freezing!) products I ever used, and the Rubby Dubby Doo completed the job in fine style. Not only did I get BBS, thanks to the new Derby blade I also feel like I just came from a spa!

Not a great shave I realized this blade was a dud after half of the first pass. I switched, but the damage was already done. No big cuts, just irritated skin. All the other products worked great. Excellent lather and matching aftershave helped put out the fire.
