Menthol Monday's Shave



Cold Water Wash
Stirling Eskimo Tuxedo
Jayaruh #316
Segal OC
Segal
CWR
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man AS

This is my first shave with the Segal OC. I have had it for a while. It is a snaggle-tooth Segal. I got some Segal blades from @Redfisher just in time for OCtober. Thanks, Mike.

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Stirling Eskimo Tuxedo Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #316 brush. I did two passes with the Segal OC Safety Razor with a Segal DE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Stirling Sharp Dressed Man AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

OCtober 8th - Menthol Monday - SOTN
back to some basics! gotta love prorasso green and the RUB!!!!!!

 

That Osage Rub has got it going, doesn't it Jamie?

 

I love the rub! Powdry barber shop scent with eucalyptus mint and menthol! even before the wet shaving craze, when I was a disposable and Barbasol guy I used the rub, my alternate barber, a old timer introduced me to the rub. He would splash Osage on your head and massage it in before cutting your hair, and also use it after shaving your neck with a shavette.... the rub rules!
