    Menthol Monday's Shave

    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Ingram Shave Cream
    Tom's 3D Printed Brush by @twhite
    Valet VC2
    Valet AutoStrop (26)
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Ingram Shave Cream face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes with the Valet VC2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop SE blade. It appears that this blade has lost its edge. I switched to my Enders Speed Shaver with a Schick Proline blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Monday

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bergamot Lavender
    Soap: Catie’s Bubbles La Terre Verte
    Razor: Gillette Slim
    Blade: Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus (6)
    Brush: John’s Brushes Silvertip-22mmx48mm

    WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

    Catie’s Bubbles La Terre Verte today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Gillette Platinum Plus still in the Gillette Slim. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

    0C28437B-969E-479F-9B22-EE32F167DAC2.jpeg Menthol Monday:

    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Gillette
    Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash

    I was enjoying the Kudu’s beautiful coffee/peppermint scent and lather as well as the menthol sensation so much that I decided to do a third pass and I got a perfect BBS shave. After a nice massage with the Prep and a couple of splashes of the Rubby Dubby Doo my face felt well moisturized and frozen stiff. The new Gillette blade really did the job for me!

    Two Osidge splashes? Ah well, I suppose you're used to its freezing action by now :).

    Hi Bob, I believe you asked me a while back where Central Texas Soaps is located. It's in Brady. (They just sent me en e-mail about new bar soaps available).

    That looks like a relatively new bottle of Southern Oud. Do you have backups too like I do?

    Star DE Razor
    Personna Platinum Chrome (Israeli Red) Blade
    Frank Shaving Boar Brush
    Proraso Green/LMS Spearmint Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel w/Orange
    Gillette After Shave Gel

    After using this razor a few times, and in my opinion, it is a more efficient razor than a Post War Gillette Tech. I would say that it shaves like a WW II Tech, but is slightly heavier, which I like. Two passes with minimal touch up for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
