I hate rushing a shave at any time, especially a Menthol Monday Shave, but I woke up late so I had to step in the shower for 2 minutes, then do just a quick 1 pass N-S shave. I did the best I could, but I'm far from being BBS. The Proraso Green soap and I are friends again and I enjoyed the little time we had together this morning. The Visal gel is a hell of a face-freezer which also gives great soothing. Now, it's off to the office.

Today's Menthol Monday is brought to you by...

TSD M Bomb

-- 3 drops in my lather bowl
-- 2 drops in my ASB

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

 

Although for tomorrow the weather here is expected to be cooler, I'm planning a shave with something VERY strongly-mentholated. Perhaps Godrej Menthol Mist or Egyptian Ingram.

 

Today I chose Ginger's Garden, Vanilla Mint. I finished with Osage Rub

Monday

Soap/Creme: Williams/KMF Super Lather

Blade: Astra SS
Pre: Hot Shower & Poraso Pre/post
Post: Aqua Velva

How do you spell that?

 

Well, first there's a P, then a R, followed by an O, ending with R A S O...

 

Menthol Monday:

Proraso PrePost cream
TSD ISZ Shave soap
Cobra Classic/ Kai Captain Mild (1)
TSD ISZ splash followed 30 minutes later with TSD ISZ aftershave milk

 

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Rapira day 2
Lea Menthol SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Barbon AS

I see my good friend Brian also used the Lea Menthol cream, and that he agrees with me on it being a great choice. Guys, I think this cream may have passed a little bit in front of the Noxzema for being my favorite. (is that possible?) The scent drives me crazy, the lather is so rich and luxurious, and the menthol is so cooling. After such a terrific shave, the Barbon added to the menthol fun!

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Rapira day 3
Godrej Menthol Mist SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam

Guys, for a Menthol Monday Shave you go with something frigid, and Godrej Menthol Mist cream is a sure way to freeze your face off. This Diana Sport Balsam is so cold that it competes with Osage Rub or Alcolado Glacial!

 

My own Menthol Monday and first shave of the week was a wee bit less intense on the Menthol side, only the shave soap I’ve used contained a discrete dose of menthol:

Valobra Menthol shave soap
Mühle Basic Nr. 02 shave brush with Silver Tip Fibre
’56 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed
Feather blade (3.)
Speick Men after shave

 

TSD ISZ Preshave Balm
QCS Vostok SS
The Rub Mixed with a pea sized amount of 444


Now that's what I call a Menthol Monday
