Menthol Monday Madness!

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 3
Lea Menthol SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam
Obsession For Men EDT

Since I received this Lea Menthol cream it's hard for me to keep away from it. I love the rich, creamy lather, the scent is beautiful, and the menthol cooling is very enjoyable. OK, not as potent as Palmolive Menthol or Godrej Menthol Mist, but still more potent than potent enough. If you guys want to know about potent menthol, try this Diana Sport balsam!

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 5
Proraso White SS
Svoboda AS Balsam
Obsession For Men EDT

This Proraso White soap may not have the strongest menthol but it's still strong enough to be felt and enjoyed. The lather and the scent are so nice, and the soothing and protection are wonderful. The Svoboda balsam is in a class by itself - I know I have another tube of it in the house somewhere, but I don't know exactly where. I hope I find it before this tube runs out.

 

I had no plans to participate in Menthol Mondays this week. None at all... However, this morning I was quite tired and bleery-eyed even after my hot shower. I soaked my EJ pure badger brush just like I do every morning, and had my puck of EJ Sea Buckthorn soaking right along side with my EJ DE89L... I gave the brush a quick shake, and got to lathering.... nothing. Virtually no lather at all. I have no idea what I did differently than every other time I've used the EJ soap lately but I just could not get a decent lather at all. So I went to my face and thought maybe it was a face lathering morning... nope, still a very thin and weak lather. So I added a little C.O. Bigelow to my lather bowl, whipped up some frothy goodness an away I went. The feather blade sheared through my whickers with nary a problem. 2-Passes, with a DFS result.

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Shark day 6
Bozzano Sensitive SC
Barbon AS
Obsession For Men EDT

These Shark blades give awesome shaves with little or no effort, and the Brazilian Bozzano Sensitive cream has such a rich lather. I love the strong minty/eucalyptus scent that this cream has and the potent menthol cooling. The Barbon aftershave has perfect skincare and a fabulous cooling effect as well.
