Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

There is Diana Sport menthol balsam which is made in Austria. No alcohol at all, and extremely frigid. The TSD Iced Subzero aftershave milk would be excellent for you also.

 

Thank you Crackstar, Diana Balsam looks very tempting. But I guess I suffer from severe form of "cheapskateism" because having to pay €11 for postage stops me from buying product that costs €4.30 And I can't find anything else in that shop to order.

 

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/new Rapira
Noxzema SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
444 AS Balsam
Booster Mosswood AS

For this shave I am more interested in a traditional and really "old-school" theme, so after the 444 balsam, which we all know is a real face-freezing skin soother, I want to use the Mosswood aftershave which is so nice and barbershoppy-scented. I cannot point out enough how much I LOVE the Noxzema cream - the only reason I don't use it more often is because I know myself - I'll use up all the tubes I have in record time, and there is no way to ever get it again.

 

Menthol Monday:
Proraso PrePost cream
TSD ISZ SS
Thayer's Medicated Superhazel
The Rub refrigerated and mixed with a pea sized amount of 444

Yesterday I put The Rub and The Penguin in the fridge and wow what a blast.I think all my menthol based splashes are going to go into the fridge today.

 

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

TSD M Bomb
-- 4 drops in my shampoo
-- 3 drops in my lather bowl

KMF Cool Mint shave cream - really not very cool, thus the need for the M Bomb boost

Osage Rub

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

 

Monday, 6/4/12

Pre: MRGLO, Family Dollar Deep Cleansing Skin Cream
Soap: RazoRock XXX
Brush: Semogue 2030 Pure Badger
Razor: Fatip open comb Polished Nickel, with an Ikon Bulldog Handle
Blade: Astra Superior Premium Platinum
Post: Alum, Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
A/S: Captain's Choice

The only menthol I used today was in the Family Dollar Deep Cleansing Skin Cream. The Fatip with an Ikon Bulldog handle makes a very good combination for me. It is shorter but heavier than the Grande handle. A three pass BBS shave with no nicks or weepers.

 

6/4/12

•4 drops m-bomb in shampoo
•Axe shock body wash
•Homemade pre-shave oil castor oil, jojoba oil glycerine and menthol crystals.

Menthol Monday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Nacet day 2
Gada Cool Mint SC
444 AS Balsam/ Barbon AS Splash
JHL Cologne

I wanted to throw as much menthol into this shave as I possibly can because it's going to be a hot day. My wife actually is starting to like the scent of the Barbon aftershave. The Gada Cool Mint is a great Lebanese face-freezer with a hell of a nice scent and plenty of rich lather and skincare. (So cheap also!) Gosh, I hope my Osage Rub arrives this week................ ​

 

Palmolive al Mentolo
Osage Rub

 

a little drop of M-bomb to kick the menthol :2thumbs:

Menthol Monday:

Proraso PrePost cream
Mama Bear's Awakenings shave stick
Thayer's Medicated Superhazel
The Penguin mixed with a pea sized amount of 444

 

Gerry, I have the Awakenings soap in a bowl - man, is it friggin frigid. We call that brrrrrrrr cold and beautiful!

 

Jeff that was my last Awakenings shave stick,good thing I ordered the soap in a bowl,I can't be without this soap.The stick lasted a long time,one of the coldest soaps around My ISZ soap is starting to run low too,I'm gonna have to reorder that in a puck and I'm gonna try the wheat shave cream as well,can't have enough menthol products.

 

Gerry, guys like us can never have enough menthol stuff. The Awakenings soap, the ISZ soap and cream are an absolute necessity for us!

 

Menthol Monday:

Turkish Horsehair
Super Speed/Shark day 6
Queen Charlotte Soaps Vostok SC
Diana Sport Menthol Balsam
Osage Rub AS Balsam
Obsession for Men EDT

We're having some really good and hot weather here in Montreal, so menthol, menthol, and more menthol is the order of the day. The Vostok cream is not for everyone - the menthol effect is so powerful that it gave my brother-in-law a lot of discomfort when he tried it. For me it's fabulous, but that's because I'm a menthol freak. The Diana balsam is about 20 times colder than 444, and I cannot seem to stay away from this Osage Rub which I recently bought!

 

Menthol Monday:
Proraso PrePost cream
Vostok ss
Thayer's Medicated Superhazel
The Rub mixed with a pea sized amount of 444

My face was still freezing when I applied the Thayer's,it seems the Thayer's extended the freeze. I was going to apply Alt-Insbruck which is pretty face numbing,but let's face it nothing beats The Rub.It is now 60 minutes since I finished shaving and my hands and face are still numb

 

You have such a good way with words, my friend. The Alt Innsbruck is damn cold indeed, but the Rub can out-freeze just about anything with the possible exception of ISZ aftershave milk, and/or this Diana balsam which I used this morning.
