    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Bundubeard African Potato X 3 SS
    Prep ASB
    B&M Arctique AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    This setup is not for the faint of heart - in fact it takes a real menthol fanatic like myself to be able to tolerate and enjoy it. The African Potato X 3 soap has such a beautiful outdoorsy, earthy scent, it’s such a pleasure to lather up, it’s so slick, the menthol sensation is Stirling Glacial frigid, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep and the Arctique aftershave were a very appropriate finish. The brand new Astra Green blade helped to ensure a splendid BBS shave!

    Have a great week - be well and safe!

    Shave of the Week Starting 8 Feb 2021

    Pearl Flexi razor
    Rainbow Stainless blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    Viking "Citron" Shave Soap
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    I pur
    chased one of the original Flexi razor last year, November I think, and it was unfortunately defective. The company offered a refund or replacement. I opted for the replacement and received this past weekend. So off we go with the new one and it was just fine. The apparent defectives look to be resolved and I had a fine shave today. The blade gap looks a little scary at #6 on the adjustment scale so I started at 2.5. Very smooth and comfortable giving me an easy DFS. I think tomorrow I'll up it to 3 and see how it goes. So my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (7) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & Sandal wood, milder scent with excellent lather qualities, A bargain IMO.
    Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24mm, excellent lather generator, heavenly like soft tips, gentle scrub with back bone + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum + sandal wood A.S with clove [​IMG]+ a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]Excellent shave with my MMCP peerless model + a coated Gem blade.(nice birthday shave)
