    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    C.O. Bigelow
    Jayaruh #41
    Baton Handle Treet SE Razor
    Personna PTFE SE Blade
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #41 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Baton handle Treet SE Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    OK, now we are off to the hospital to have the wife's other eye done: cataract surgery.

    Prep: Hot towel
    Razor: Merkur 34C HD
    Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium ( NOS )
    Brush: Simpsons Chubby 2 Two Band
    Soap: 345 Soap Co: Den of Thieves (Deus Vult)
    Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..
    Fragrance: Atman Xaman Eau de Parfum by Lorenzo Villoresi

    now, considering that the 34C/ Polsilver S.I combo is one that I rave about constantly, the Wizamet S.I.( NOS ) fell quite a bit short of the mark, TBH.. I have some of the Arabic ones to try in the near future, but for now, the Polsilvers still take some beating when teamed with the Merkur.

    Not only that - they also make a nice soap as well as a cream which I never tried.

    Menthol Monday:

    What a great Grand Freeze this was!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Rapira day 6
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash

    My Yaqi Barber Pole churned up such fabulous, frigid lather from the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and the beautiful scent filled the bathroom. The strawberry notes are more prevalent but you can still definitely detect the lemon ones and the menthol sensation jumps on you right away. Besides making your face feel almost numb, this soap leaves such a soothing, refreshing postshave feeling, the Prep is like magic for anyone with sensitive skin because it cools, soothes, and moisturizes beautifully, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave not only freezes the crap out of you, its gorgeous scent lasts ALL day - even my wife loves it on me. My trusty Canadian Tech/Rapira combination gave me another dynamite three pass BBS shave which I enjoyed from start to finish!

    Wishing y’all a great week - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Well, believe it or not there is SOME menthol I used today-in the Central Texas Soaps Week-end Rodeo. Leather and a bit of Menthol is my description. The Hub City Soap 's strength is its "Skin-food" ability(kinda like Bill Neumann).I had 3 cuts DURING the shave, 1 at N. Porcupine, two down south. I clearly went too hard there. Ease up, buddeh!(Talking to myself). The aftershave helped calm things a little, as the redness of each cut is gone, now it's more of a Knick in each case. I am not above chucking the Week-end Rodeo and looking for a softer aftershave for tomorrow and Wednesday. We'll see. I left a litle bit up at the nasal area (N. Porcupine, right side), and also by the right sideburn. In additiion, I went too light at North Cactus-too much "North to South" up there with the razor. Will go the opposite way tomorrow. Pretty Outstanding for President's Day.

    Razor : Gem push button- Mfg 1958-65, mild to tame mid range, I like the looks of this razor and it just feels good in the hand also. It was designed around the time when push button transmissions in new cars was the latest craze so they jumped at into this theme I believe. Had a excellent carefree close shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : TOBS Sandalwood cream, nice masculine herbal sandal wood scent 6-7/10 + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm silver tip (3Band) badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + great lather painter.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Ogallala bayrum & sandal wood + a dollop of Geo F Trumper skin food.
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Gem Push button with a coated gem blade.
