While I find the newer Tech stamped heads don't shave me as close as the older style Techs, pairing the Sterling up with the chilly Menthol Palmolive meant I still enjoyed a very nice, chilly, comfortable shave today.

I decided to join my friend Bill for today, and I enjoyed a great, frigid shave with the Italian Palmolive Menthol cream. I would say it easily compares to Godrej Menthol Mist in the cooling department.

3 Passes = Meh, I have had a better shave. The small nick on the chin would have been tolerable, but overall the shave was just meh.

I have either managed to booger my edge up again, or the edge on the other three razors in rotation at the moment are far superior, or both.

Have a great weekend Ya'll!
