    I'll start off the new week with a frigid, tear-jerking setup!

    I don't think it could get too much colder than this because I'm really throwing my main Menthol Heavy Artillery in to this shave. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap is so bitterly-cold, and as soon as you start lathering it up the freeze hits you. The longer it stays on your face, the colder it seems to get. The Diana balm is another bona-fide face-freezer with good moisturizing, and the Arctique can just about kill a polar bear. This Junjie razor seems to give pretty good shaves, and I'm in love with my new Plissoft brush! ;) :D

    Razor - Gillette Tech pre 52 triangular slot base Canada
    Brush - custom with sunrise synthetic knot

    Had a wedding reception to attend last night. Needed a smooth shave with little drama and knew to call up the early triangular base Tech razor. Rare four pass with zero issue. Slick as ice and dolphin smooth.

    Marrakesh Monday!

    Going to give this new sample a whirl tomorrow. The scent is complex and I can't wait to give it a bowl lather to see how it blooms and changes.

    I just noticed that I'm creeping up on my shave den anniversary...whoo hoo.

    Monday's
    ZCOLDWATER.jpg

    TESC Pre-Shave Oil
    Proraso Green Shaving Soap
    Semogue Owners Club
    Gillette Blue Tip
    Astra SP
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    Today marks the end of my Proraso Green. I purchased it April 30, 2012. It had a long run. The Proraso Green Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Semogue Owners Club boar brush. Two passes with my new Gillette Blue Tip razor and a Astra SP blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I like that Blue Tip, Jim! I don't have any vintage razors yet but I think the Blue Tip would be a top choice of mine for when it's time. I've seen a few Blue Tips the past week or so in the SOTD thread.

    That is kind of funny. It has been my latest acquisition. I have over 50 razors and most of the SuperSpeed models, but the Blue Tip had evaded me. I finally got it in a trade. I am very pleased to have it in my collection now. It is one of the good ones.

    Nice Black & white Rodger. At first glance I was thinking of a certain Mickey Lee Soap theme(PD) then I saw the Cade soap and AS balm.
