Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

It was an Iced SubZero kinda evening...

Marinate - TSD ISZ Preshave Balm - 30 min before shower
Hot Shower
Netrogena Invigorating Face wash
5 drops TSD M-Bomb in shampoo
Razer(s) Pass 1 and 3 Schick Easy Rider - Pass 2 and touch-up Eversharp HydroMagic - Both injectors
Soap - TSD ISZ
Post Shave - TSD ISZ Witch Hazel and Alum block
AS - TSD ISZ splash

I have not used Injectors very much and I just wanted to play around with these two to see which one I liked best. Right now I have to say I like the Easy Rider.
Over all it was a great shave and my face is lovin the menthol freeze tonight!

 

What can be used to add menthol to your lather that can be bought at local brick and mortars? I'd hate to order the M-bomb from here, find out I didn't care for it.

 

Prep: PREP Pre Shave Balm
Uberlather: Palmolive Menthol cream, QCS Vostok soap
Brush: Rudy Vey custom
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Super Iridium
Post: Alum, Headblade ClearHead (neck), Booster Iced Lime AS

3 pass BBS

 

Tooth paste

 

But don't try it with toothpaste that has those red stripes. That would mean constant panic about deep bloody nicks.

 

On the serious side: if you like menthol, do yourself a favor and order M bomb. I did, and I love it, because I'm in total control of the level of the menthol kick and because I'm able to add the menthol kick to soaps and creams I really like, but do not have menthol as an ingredient.

 

Thanks for the responses guys( of course other than panicking about the bloody cuts I imagine that the toothpaste would gum up the razor). Seriously though I figured there probably wasn't anything out there, but if you don't ask you don't know.

 

I currently have one soap and one cream in my normal rotation- the cream is C.O. Bigelow which has menthol and I enjoy it quite a bit. I'd definitely like to have another mentholated cream or two to add to the rotation though...

 

Buy M Bomb and you can menthol-ate anything and everything you want to, or not.

 

I have thought about it, but the shipping just kills it for me... I hate to order anything in a scent htat I am not familiar with so at least for now I'm only making small orders at any one time, but doing that kills me on shipping- $6.25 shipping on a $5.99 item makes it not worth it for me...

 

Menthol Monday!

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new Wilkinson Sword
Italian Palmolive Menthol SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam
Obsession For Men EDT

Back to my trusty Super Speed which always gives me awesome and comfortable shaves when I'm in a hurry to get to work. It looks like I'll be using the Dovo only once or twice a week if or when time permits me. The Palmolive Menthol cream from Italy and the Diana Sport balsam delivered the best of the freeze!

Mon Feb 27
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap/Creme: Valobra Menthol
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Astra SS
Pre: Hot shower
Post: Poraso AS Balm
Hair Groom: Gables Pomade
Result: a great and very comfortable shave, with several products with a light chill, as opposed to an arctic blast (which I enjoy, too at times, but which wasn't my mood today). Sometimes a Menthol Monday done right, is a Menthol Monday done light.
