    Menthol Monday:

    The Mother of all Grand Freezes!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Back to my fantastic Astra Greens for now because I love them so much. They’re so sharp yet so smooth and they have excellent longevity. The Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap’s gorgeous scent filled the bathroom, the lather buried my face, the menthol sensation froze the daylights out of me, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Prep added so much moisturizing, cooling and soothing, while the Snake Bite aftershave brought the freeze to another level. Last but not least the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    An awesome Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 8
    MSC Frosted Lavender SS
    Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    If this setup doesn’t freeze your face off then nothing will because it’s so damned intense. My dear brother Fernando whipped up such beautiful winners with this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave. It’s the most gorgeous lavender scent I’ve ever experienced, the soap is a tallow based treasure with magnificent lather that has so much slickness, the menthol sensation is so potent that it easily matches any of the Stirling Glacials, and it’s so soothing for sensitive skin. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel has very little scent but it feels so good, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is also witch hazel based so it never stings or burns, it has the same delightful scent as the soap, and it freezes like there’s no tomorrow. Last but not least the beautiful Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m going to kick some ass at the golf course today. Three passes did me proud - another brilliant BBS shave that was fit for a king!

    Wishing y’all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday Shave(8-14):

    prep-NiveaMen Bodywash(Fresh Ice)-in shower
    shave-Gillette Series Gel
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Osage Rub

    I didn't know quite what to expect from this gel goo, as it has charcoal as an ingredient), but it was comfortable. Should feel better during colder days. It combines nicely with the Osage Rub in summertime. First time I've used Gel in a long time-I forgot its squiggly appearance. Alll areas checked in well. Zeroes across the board on cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. What a nice relief that Osage is!!!! As Outstanding As It Gets(for the overall shave).

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tea Tree Body Bar
    Jayaruh #444 Synthetic
    Parker Variant
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Osage Rub

    The Tea Tree Body Bar lathered well with Jayaruh #444 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Parker Variant Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday - a mildly cooling shave:

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/new Astra Green
    Bielita SC (from Belarus and very nice)
    Prep ASB
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

    Not a Grand Freeze, in fact far from it. The Bielita cream is from Belarus and it’s very popular in Russia as well as in Kazakhstan and Moldova . The scent is kind of flowery so it’s definitely not old school barbershoppy but it’s pleasant enough, the lather whips up so thick, rich, slick as well as protective, it’s mildly but pleasantly mentholated, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep and the Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave completed the job beautifully. The Junjie loaded with a brand new Astra Green blade ensured a great two pass BBS shave that I really enjoyed!

    Have a good week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    A most delightful Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Astra Green day 8
    Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Do I ever love this Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap and I wish Rod would bring it back because it’s absolutely MAGNIFICENT. The scent is so gorgeous - it’s Sharp Dressed Man with two boatloads of frigid menthol, the tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather with so much slickness, and the skincare is A1. The Prep delivered so generously on the postshave care, and the Rubby Dubby Doo as I call the Osage Rub put another layer of icicles in my face. Finally the heavenly Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another restful day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me such an awesome BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

    Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Wilkinson Sword/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash
    Yves Saint Pour Homme EdT

    Whenever I use this Wilkinson Sword DE I have to be more careful because it’s somewhat more aggressive than my other razors but it still performs great. The Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are two menthol atom bombs with a most delightful scent that I really enjoy - the strawberry is the more dominant feature but the lemon still comes through, the soap lathers like there’s no tomorrow, the menthol sensation is strong enough to freeze a polar bear out of the arctic, and the skincare is numero uno. The Prep gave me such wonderful postshave care, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave froze me to smithereens - it’s beautiful scent goes very well with the Yves Saint Laurent fragrance that my wife’s aunt gave me as a gift a couple of years ago. Three glorious passes and I’m dolphin smooth - what an awesome shave this was!
