Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh 423 2-band Badger
Christy Safety Razor
Personna Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 423 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Christy Safety Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I used Humphrey's Witch Hazel while I cleaned up, then I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

Lemony scented icicles in my face!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 13
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Pe Re Ja Lemon Cologne

These Minora blades are so awesome - today was my thirteenth shave with this one and it has dulled out quite a bit but it’s still performing well. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap…..wowwww, it’s got such a delightful scent, the lather is a real pleasure to work up - it’s so rich, the slickness is fantastic, the menthol sensation is so intense, and the postshave feeling is heavenly - my skin is so well moisturized and comfortable. The matching balm delivers the same beautiful scent, it’s so soothing, it feels icy cold, and it gives a lot of moisturizing. The matching aftershave is a real menthol atom bomb. The Pe Re Ja cologne is from Turkey and it has a lovely lemony scent and there’s a story behind it. Three passes gave me a terrific BBS shave!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Finally got around to posting one of these shaves with the new to me Ever-ready shaver.
Used the GEM Blue Star blade.
Also the FAT! and the VEG!
Such a baby face after these shaves.
I always thought that these razors were going to be too mechanical or aggressive. Wrong on both counts.
Super efficient and safe.
Only thing is that they are very chatty.
Have a good week guys!
