    Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 14
    MSC Peppermint Latte SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Peppermint Latte AS Splash
    Calvin Klein Obsession Deodorant Stick
    Calvin Klein Obsession EdT

    Did it ever feel great to use one of my brother Fernando’s soaps and aftershaves - his Peppermint Latte has it all in terms of scent and skincare. The scent is exactly what it implies - a lovely blend of rich espresso coffee and peppermint with perhaps a bit of vanilla thrown in for good measure, the soap’s tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather that’s so thick, rich, mega slick and protective, it has a pretty strong menthol sensation, and is it ever moisturizing as well as soothing. The Prep felt so good when I massaged it on, and the Peppermint Latte aftershave’s witch hazel formula prevents any stinging or burning, it has the same gorgeous scent as the soap, and it’s so FRIGID. The Wilkinson Sword blade earned its retirement after two weeks of faithful service - back to another razor and blade for tomorrow. Man, did I ever get a beautiful three pass BBS shave!

    Enjoy your day - be well and safe!

    Menthol shave today using my 1954 Gillette SS Flare Tip.

    Razor - 1954 Gillette SS Flare Tip
    Blade - my last Big Ben blade 1st use
    Soap - Proraso Menthol plus I added a spoon of TOBS Peppermint
    Pre-shave - Proraso Blue
    Brush - Simpson "Berkeley" my smallest brush
    Post-Shave - Thayers toner & Geo F Trumper "Skin Food" Sandalwood
    AS Pinaud Clubman "Vanilla"

    Washed face with cool water and soaked the brush to saturate it. Then I pushed the Peppermint cream to the bowl and started loading the brush in the Menthol tub and then lathering in my lather bowl. I had to add a few splashes of water but soon I had some nice creamy lather. The Proraso Blue mildly cools the face and combined with the menthol & Peppermint made for a nice cooling sensation on my face. I did a 2-pass shave with no cleanup WTG & ATG for a nice smooth face. Zero feedback from alum bar. No cuts, nicks, or weepers. A very pleasant shave.

    Now to figure what razor to use tomorrow...possible the 1930's New Model (Long Comb)

    Love my flare tip, but only with a very sharp blade. In my case, a Bic CP. My razor is K4 1965.
    love seeing a flare tip! Nice shave!
    Post note: love the Berkeley brush. I’ve considered one.
