    Menthol Monday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/Rapira day 5
    Godrej Menthol Mist SC :love029: :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Keri unscented moisturizer
    Osage Rub AS :love029: :love029: :Animatedfrozensmily: :Animatedfrozensmily:
    Polo Original EDT

    One of the best shaves I've had in a while - everything worked out perfectly. The Godrej Menthol Mist and Osage Rub both froze my face the way they're supposed to, and I'd like to add that these 2 items are not for anyone who cannot handle menthol! ;) :biggrin:

    There's nothing like freezing your face off on Menthol Monday - the Palmolive Cool cream from the Balkans and the Barbon aftershave are 2 of the best Champions of Chilliness. Although the Rapira blade gave me another terrific shave, I think it's best to change it for tomorrow. ;) :biggrin:

    Guys, this Palmolive Cool cream from the Balkan countries is the exact equivalent of Italian Palmolive Menthol in every way except for the size and the color of the tube. The Diana Sport balsam is easily as cold as Osage Rub or Alcolado Glacial. I enjoyed this shave immensely! ;) :biggrin:

    Monday, November 14, 2011 - Today's the day!
    1. Prep: Hot shower; hand strop blade
    2. Lather: TSD ISZ Wheat Cream - bowl lather
    3. Brush: Vulfix 2234
    4. Razor: Gem HFT
    5. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (1); 2+ passes
    6. Post: Warm water rinse; cold water splash; Osage Rub; Bio-Oil; Clubman Talc
    A very nice & enjoyable shave this Menthol Monday. Getting better w/ the HFT. The lather was a bit off as I started with too much water. That Vulfix sure does hold a ton of water! Excellent moisturizing after the shave from the Bio-Oil. The jury is still out on it but I'm giving it a go and liking it so far.
    Shave Rating - Splendid. A nice slap in the face to wake up this morning. God Bless!

    Today's Menthol Monday was courtesy of the following!

    • TSD Iced SubZero Preshave Balm ~ :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:
    • TSD Iced SubZero Wheat Cream ~ :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:
    • Alcolado Glacial ~ :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing: :smiley freezing:

    This was my first full Menthol go round with the Alcolado Glacial that someone gifted me .... or I just kept without paying. :think002:

    Good stuff! It has a more pleasant scent than the Osage Rub, but in my unscientific test it didn't feel quite as cold as the Osage, very very close though.

    Diana Sport Menthol Balsam :love029: :love029: [​IMG] [​IMG]
    JHL Cologne

    This is a perfect Menthol Monday Shave - the Egyptian version of Ingram is a very chilly cream - perhaps even a bit chillier than the UK version. The Diana Sport balsam is just right for me, but there may be some guys who would find it uncomfortable because the menthol effect is so powerful. ;) :biggrin:

    Monday, November 21, 2011 - Today's the day!
    1. Prep: Hot shower; lather marinade
    2. Coffee: Locally roasted, fresh ground Tanzanian Peaberry w/ cream
    3. Lather: C.O. Bigelow - face lather
    4. Brush: Vulfix 2234
    5. Razor: Gem MMOC
    6. Blade: Pella SS PTFE coated (2); 3 passes
    7. Post: Warm water rinse; cold water splash; California Baby super sensitive face lotion
    A wonderful Menthol Monday to you all. The C.O. Bigelow delivered an effortless lather as usual. I've dropped both the Bio-Oil and the Talc for now as one of them (or possibly both) gave me a bright red sunburned type look for a day. Those were the only two products that I also put on my forehead so I know it wasn't from my lather. I'm trying to find out the best post-shave regimen for my dehydrated yet oily face.

    Shave Rating - Splendid. God Bless!

    Unfortunately you won't, unless you scour ebay.
    It was discontinued a couple years back. I picked up a tube to try. Figured for $4 I'd give it a shot. I decided I liked it, went back for another tube or two, and they were gone, never to be found again. I keep looking, though.

    Dslazar9 Took the Menthol-cratic Oath

    I forgot I still have some Tom's, gonna use it tomorrow!!!! I have a much more expensive cream that is
    almost identical in texture, lather, scent-Connaught Luxury Sc-Spearmint. It seems it's not made any more, but they do
    have peppermint-probably similar.
    Today: TSD ISZ PSB-haven't used this goodness for quite some time, don't know why, but I enjoyed it today.

    Since yesterday I've been busy tring out these new Bangladeshi creams which I bought this past Saturday evening. This Ice Cool cream has a very nice lemony scent along with great lather, and the menthol effect is also good. I finished off my ISZ aftershave - now I need some more. A terrific shave this morning. ;) :biggrin:
