Menthol Monday's Shave

Ming Shi

Barbasol AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #241 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Ming Shi adjustable razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable BBS.

I wanted to come back and note what a great shave this was. Between the Proraso Pre Shave, the C.O. Bigelow, and the Barbasol AS, I got a hefty dose of menthol. The Ming Shi adjustable was a solid performer, too. Set on 4.5, I could have stopped after one pass, but I did a clean up pass and ended up with a BBS. I think I paid less than $10 for this razor, and it is worth 5-10 times that.
