Menthol Mondays!! WooHoo!

No, I've been using it on occasion!

 

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Omega Red Handle
Super Speed/new Derby
Palmolive Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Drakkar Noir EdT

Not as intensely-frigid as usual but still figid, as far as I'm concerned. I want to get this new Omega brush broken in as soon as possible, because right now it's still not up to the task of tackling my Glacial soaps which can sometimes be a challenge to a new brush. The Palmolive Menthol cream has that wonderful minty scent that I love so much with such great lather, and plenty of icy goodness. The Gold Bond/Rubby Dubby Doo are a combination made in heaven!

King Cobra Classic with Triad Aristocrat Ti
Kai Captain Mild #2
Shavemac Silvertip D01
Krampert’s Soap Frostbite
Krampert’s Aftershave Frostbite

 

man, these Mondays are rolling past quickly.

 

OK I'm a newbie. I only have a couple of soaps and neither is a menthol. What's a good menthol or mint for a newbie?
I'm also on a fixed income and have very little to spend so I am limited in what I can buy.
With that said, what would you recommend for me?

 

Proraso is cheap and IMHO really really great.

 

I haven't seen the "Tonificante para" for a while. I know you have a great menthol collection, though.

Menthol Monday shave today after not shaving yesterday. Loved the menthol today on a nice cool morning. I basically shaved, splashed on the AS which had some good menthol bite and then walked outside with the dog. Wooo that felt good and definitely woke me up! Nothing like menthol and below freezing temperatures!

Brush: Stirling Kong
Soap: Stirling MITA
Post: Cold water rinse,
Witch Hazel M-bombed,
Ice Blue Aqua Velva (M-bombed for added cold)


The Stirling MITA is pretty cold by itself, but then I went and added M-bomb to all my post shave items and today was a very cold day!!! Of course, it is going to be 75 in February so I needed something cold to remind me what time of the year it really is around here.

Menthol Monday!!

Prep: Warm shower
Blade: Personna lab blue (2)
Razor: Maggard MR1
Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
Lather: Proraso Green
Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero, Nivea sensitive balm
WTG, touch-up

The SubZero after shave splash was quite cold this morning! It's colder outside than it was last Monday and I think that's contributing to the overall effect today. But this was a nice, invigorating shave today.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

 

Perry, very simplistic and very !

 

That was a photo copy wasn't it!

 

Not sure what you mean? It was a photo and I messed around with some filters. That one is called Pencil Sketch.

 

I was joking, it's very cool buddy!

 

Menthol Monday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/new Astra
OSP Grapefruit Menthol SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS
Old Spice Cologne

It's so easy to get obsessed with these Obsessive Soap Perfectionist soaps - this Grapefruit Menthol has a lovely citrusy scent, tons of easy-to-create lather which is so rich and thick, as well as a really potent menthol kick along with very, very soothing skincare. James Riley in London, England put a lot of hard work in to his products and it paid off. The Gold Bond/Rubby Dubby Doo combination is a fantastic, frigid way to finish a Menthol Monday Shave!

 

I know someone in Greece who's an even bigger menthol fan than myself! lolll
