    Although this setup is not quite as frigid as I would normally select for a Menthol Monday it's still pretty darned cold! ;) :D

    CWR, Asma Alum Block

    I prepared my face with The Executive Shave Co. Pre-Shave Oil. The Geo. F. Trumper Rose Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #36 horse hair brush. Two passes with my Edwin Jagger DE89 razor and a Voskhod blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Cucumber WH and Geo. F. Trumper Limes Skin Food. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Gillette Slim
    Blade: Wilkie Black
    Brush: Semogue 1305
    Soap: Tabac
    Aftershave: Tabac Balm
    Cologne: Tabac

    I'm continuing to dial in the Slim. Today set at "7" for the entire three passes and came away with one of the closest (bbs) irritation shaves in a long time. Tabac is fast becoming one of my favorites as well :)
    On edit: I jumped the gun and posted Sunday's shave here. I thanking you in advance for your forgiveness:signs081:

    SOTD February 1, 2016
    Menthol Monday

    Prep: Warm shower
    Blade: Rapira platinum lux (1)
    Razor: Maggard MR1
    Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic
    Lather: Proraso Green
    Post: Witch hazel splash, TSD SubZero, Nivea sensitive balm
    WTG, touch-up

    Efficient CCS this morning. I enjoyed the menthol kick from the Proraso and TSD SubZero. I've never done a menthol Monday before and I like it! It's get the work week off to an invigorating start.

    First shave with the Maggard MR1 and it seems like a great, efficient, and mild shaver. The Rapira blade worked well as well.

    Happy February to all! I hope your Monday is a good one.

    Great choices. I just tried my GFT Violet shaving cream sample and it was pretty good stuff.

    actually I need to make a correction-Fine Snake Bite shows no man(unless he's on the flip side of the description).

    Great setup Guy. Is the Lemon Lime Freeze a real face freezer like the menthol one?
