Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

Menthol Monday:

Brrrrrrr cold and beautiful!

Capra soap as a facial wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Derby day 8
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Prep ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash

There’s enough menthol in this Glacial Obsidian soap to cause discomfort for anyone who is not able to tolerate such cold stuff - not everybody is a Menthol Monkey like me. Do I ever love the black licorice scent, it’s such a pleasure to lather, the slickness is something for the books, the menthol sensation is totally off the charts, and it’s got the typical fabulous Stirling skincare. The Prep always moisturizes and soothes my skin beautifully, and the Rubby Dubby Doo froze the living crap out of me. Three glorious gave me such a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Have a nice week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday - what a great Grand Freeze!

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Wilkinson Sword/Wilkinson blade day 2
Stirling Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Mama mia am I ever frozen stiff from using this setup - the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo soap’s gorgeous scent filled my bathroom, the lather was sumptuous, the menthol sensation pummelled my face relentlessly, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The Stoffel balm has such a nice minty scent, it’s also frigidly cold, and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing. Last but not least the Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its lovely old school barbershop scent along with its potent menthol kick finished the job. Another three pass BBS work of art - what a brilliant shave this was!

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

Menthol Monday:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 12
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Prep ASB
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

Lately I’m saving my Glacials for the spring and summer but today I wanted to go with one of them so I selected the Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave. Wow, do I ever LOVE the scent - the strawberry seems to be the more dominant feature but the lemon shines through also. The soap’s tallow formula promotes such great lather with tons of the typical awesome Stirling slickness, the menthol sensation can freeze your face to smithereens, and the postshave is A1. The Prep balm really gave me a wonderful soothing and moisturizing feeling with some additional menthol cooling, while the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave hit me with two boatloads of frigid menthol - its gorgeous scent is also long lasting. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that started my week off beautifully!

See you all tomorrow - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 5
Stirling Glacial Black Cherry SS
Prep ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

This morning I wanted to be a Glacial boy so being that I was in the mood for a cherry scented soap I selected the Glacial Black Cherry. My God, does this soap ever smell awesome, the tallow formula gives it magnificent lather that’s so slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold like all the Glacials, and the skincare is numero uno. The Prep and the Rubby Dubby Doo as I call the Osage Rub provided plenty of extra soothing, moisturizing, and tons of additional menthol goodness. Last but not least the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready for another relaxing day of retirement. Three passes gave me a stunning BBS shave that was so much fun!

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

Yikes, my face is frozen stiff but I’m also BBS from three very enjoyable passes - my dear brother Fernando’s Peppermint Lime soap and aftershave are two beautifully scented menthol atom bombs. They both give fantastic skincare as well. What a great shave this was!

Have a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!

A tremendous Grand Freeze!

Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

My face is so bloody frozen that I think it’ll take all to thaw out - my dear brother Rod’s Glacial Electric Sheep soap did a helluva number on me. I enjoyed everything about it - the beautiful lemony/citronella/eucalyptus scent, it lathered so thick, rich, creamy, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation started to pummel my face right away, and the postshave care was so comfortable as well as soothing. Needless to say the Prep provided lots of additional cooling, moisturizing care, and do I ever LOVE the lovely old school barbershop scent of the Floid Vigoroso aftershave as well as its icy cold menthol kick. Another awesome three pass BBS shave that was fit for a king!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and safe!

Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

My dear brother Abir is another soap and aftershave genius - his Absolute Zero is something for the books. Not only is the scent very nice - it’s aquatic with minty notes. The soap is vegan based, it lathers like there’s no tomorrow, it takes a real hardcore menthol junkie like myself to be able to handle such an intense freeze because honestly this soap is colder than any of the Stirling Glacials, the Chiseled Face Cryogen, or any of my other hyper mentholated soaps, but it’s so skin friendly. The matching aftershave toner is another menthol atom bomb with the same nice scent as well as great moisturizing and lots of soothing. The Snake Bite aftershave splash brought the freeze to another level. Last but not least the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m good to go. What a dynamite three pass BBS shave this was - WOW!

Have a nice week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
Merkur Progress Adjustable
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Osage Rub

The PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Merkur Progress Adjustable Razor and the Nacet Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
