Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze:

Cool Shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Two fantastic soap and aftershave geniuses contributed to this Grand Freeze - first it was my dear brother Rod whose Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have such a gorgeous scent - the soap is such a pleasure to lather, the slickness is amazing, the menthol sensation is so strong that it’s almost borderline painful, but it gives wonderful skincare. My other dear brother Jaco from Bundubeard in Pretoria, South Africa has a great balm called Stoffel which is peppermint scented in a very nice way, it’s also freezing cold, and just a small amount provides so much soothing as well as moisturizing. Finally back to Rod with his Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave which smells so beautiful, the scent lasts almost all day, and the menthol kick is off the charts. Three glorious passes gave me a magnificent BBS shave that felt like from the Garden of Eden!

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

Menthol Monday’s Awesome Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
Stirling Glacial Wintergreen Witch Hazel
Aramis EdT

Not only am I ever frozen to the max I smell great. The Glacial Wintergreen trio did a helluva number on me with its killer cold menthol sensation. The soap lathered like it was going out of style, the slickness helped the 7 AM to glide across my face so easily, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm and witch hazel were a perfect finish. Finally the lovely Aramis fragrance and I’m good to go. Three glorious passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was fit for a king!

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

Menthol Monday’s Heavy Duty Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

Man alive, this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave smell absolutely GORGEOUS. The scent is a perfect copy of Virgin Island Water from Creed with two boatloads of frigid menthol. The soap buried my face in such thick, rich, super slick lather, the menthol sensation felt killer cold, and the postshave feeling was terrific. The Stoffel balm and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave to start the week!

Be well and safe lads and lassies!

A good Menthol Monday for the first Monday in July.

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Suave Unscented(from West Main)
brush-Stoylin Mid-Sized synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Master Splash Creations(Frosted Spearmint)

Fine overall shave. Excellent soap-jumps onto the brush after a minute of swirling. Clean&clear all over. 2 healthy passes. Yeeowww that Master Splash Frosted is DANGEROUSLY cold. I doubt I'm going to repurchase it. Does the job nicely, though. I discovered that it needs to be mixed with a warm soap, even now in the hot summer. Best to keep it(the soap)of the unscented persuasion, though. Spearmint does have a scent, after all. As Outsanding As It Gets.

Menthol Monday’s Bone Chilling Report:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Versace Eros EdP (sample)

Not too much to say besides this shave was beautifully BBS as well as mega frigid. This Versace Eros fragrance……to be honest I don’t think I would want to have it in my rotation so after it’s finished I’ll forget about it.

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

Menthol Monday, July 14:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Gillette Series Gel(canned)
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S,-Osage Rub

Boy, it's been a LONG time since I shaved with the canned Gillette Series Gel. Gave me a nice shave.Clean&clear all around. No damage. One pass. The Osage A.S. qualified me for this thread. Nice and chilly, but in a different way than the Frosted Spearmint provided. I wish to thank @Yehuda D for explaining the difference. I much prefer the Osage Rub kind of cold. As Outstanding As It Gets.

Menthol Monday:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Proraso Green SC (a brand new tube)
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

It seems like Proraso Green has a different look but the new tube that I bought yesterday still has the same great performance. Ever since this cream was reformulated it’s so much better, especially in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so good for sensitive skin because it’s unscented, and the Aqua Velva went on with a nice chilly punch - this bottle is almost finished but I have a brand new backup. Three passes gave me a wonderful BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

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

Menthol Monday’s Frigid Report:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 2
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

Cold enough to make a polar bear run away from the Arctic but so enjoyable if you’re a hardcore menthol maniac like little old me - this Glacial Lemon Chill trio is such a delight. I find that the Eau Sauvage fragrance pairs very well with this trio because it’s also lemony based. Three passes delivered such a wonderful BBS shave - wow!!!!!!!

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

Menthol Monday’s Frigid Report:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash

Not only am I frozen to the max, I also smell beautiful even if I say so myself. The Glacial Frozen Tuxedo soap’s lather buried my face, the slickness was awesome, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was A1. The Stoffel balm felt so additionally moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave went on bone chillingly cold - the scent lasts almost all day. This morning three passes were enough for a brilliant BBS shave that was absolutely wonderful!

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

Menthol Monday(8-4):

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Kent Shave Cream in Tub
brush-(TBD)
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Gabels (drops of)Lime

Well, that's bad that I can't recall the brush(one of the problems with having to use the library computer). It did a fine job in spreading the Kent across my face and neck. Memory persuasion, that. Anyway, I was glad to use the Kent, my feature cream for the week. One pass. No damage. I like the Gabels (drops of)Lime aftershave. All in all, As Outstanding As It Gets.
