Darn it, November's right around the corner - this means, you know what! Menthol Monday: Neutrogena Men Facial Wash Large Horsehair Barbershop Super Speed/new Derby Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS Stirling Glacial Wintergreen AS Balm Acqua di Selva Cologne There's nothing like a mega-freeze to start off a new shaving week and the Glacial Wintergreen trio is just the right ticket!
Monday's Dove Men Face Wash Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip Merkur 15c OC/Gillette Super Speed* 1947 BYR Personna SS CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Lemon WH Pinaud Vegetal The Col. Conk Bay Rum Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. First pass with my Merkur 15c Open Comb razor followed by second pass with the Gillette Aristocrat (1947 Birth Year Razor) with a Personna Super 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 Lilac Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
SOTD: Sunday, October 25 MW Irish Traveller Simpson CH2 Synthetic 1958 Fatboy (6) Polsilver SI (2) Creed GIT Have a great day!
I am so up in the air about tomorrow's shave, I added a closet door storage rack that is now full with tins and jars that I haven't touched in some time. Do I go cold? Or something old? Hmmm. Or both?
Planned SOTD - 26 October 2016 30 Days with a Gillette Fat Boy Menthol Monday!! Have a sterling Monday and a great week!
October 26 New LC head on Mongoose "Dr. Bomber" handle Feather (2) Semogue 830 Trumper's Coconut Two passes Thayer's Lavender witch hazel, unrefined shea butter, and Fine L'Orange This will be my final week using the New LC for OCtober. This is my favorite overall razor, as it delivers consistently superior shaves with relative ease. Using the Mongoose handle with the New head provides slightly more control compared to the ball-end handle. On Sunday, I plan to begin using my Feather Artist Club SS for NOVember. I look forward to the change, as using the Feather AC always helps me improve my overall skills. I should finish up my container of Trumper's Coconut this week. It's one of my favorite creams in terms of performance and scent. Next up is MdC scented. Have a great week!
Menthol Monday October 26 SOTD Proraso Pre-shave Proraso Green Rubberset 400 EJ DE89 Nacet Stainless (2) Florida Water I have an early flight tomorrow and will shave with this blade setup. Have a great week!
