Menthol Monday’s Atomic Grand Freeze:

Long hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 6
Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Axe Oil (extremely mentholated)

My face is going to need all day to thaw out after this intense menthol bombardment - the Glacial Mango Sunrise soap not only has a beautiful scent and lathers superbly it freezes the living crap out of you. The Stoffel balm is also killer cold, and the Axe oil is actually meant to be used for sore joints but it has a delightful exotic scent and the menthol sensation from it is absolutely off the charts - just a small dab on both cheeks and another one on the neck is sufficient. Three passes left me mega BBS - what an awesome shave this was!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Hi all,
Fantastic shave this evening with the Impero open comb I picked up this one from connaughtshaving.com for under $60 delivered.
Its only my second time using this razor and I was very impressed.
The first shave with the razor was actually my first time using a razor of this weight as I have up until recently only used
Gillette's and valets with the exception of a few others.
On shave 1 I was put off by the weight being much heavier than what I was used to.
This time I let the razor do the work it effortlessly and super smoothly took of a 3 day growth the Voskhod was well suited to this razor.
1 pass WTG/AGT done no touch ups and no skin irritation at all.

The Proraso Azur Lime is part of Proraso premium range the lather was thick and strong with good cushioning
with a great scent during the shave defiantly recommended.

Hope you have a great shave.
Cheers.

Jeff, you got that right. This was a NOS jar with so many crushed menthol crystals over the soap that I could not see the soap underneath the crystals. I scrapped off some to tone it down, but it packed such a wall0p that it made me tear up for the first time using menthol soaps. I had to wait a half-hour for the chill to mellow out before I reached for the aftershave.
