    Klaus, I cannot understand one thing about the Musgo cream. Is it a case of me imagining things, or is there a drop of menthol in it? :confused:

    Yes, Jeff, there is menthol in it - at least in the new formulation that's been on the market for a year or so. The old formula, which I used today, doesn't contain any menthol.

    ahhhhh, so the cream went through a reformulation process. Klaus, my bro, you taught me something!

    It's actually been reformulated twice or three times. There was the long-used old version. Then they changed it (IIRC due to new EU-laws about ingredients but I could be mistaken), the new formula wasn't that good (they added boric acid and replaced the good lanoline by some other substance) so they changed it again after getting complaints from wetshavers from a German board (they reintroduced the lanoline and removed the boric acid). The new formulation is very, very close to the old one, but now with menthol.

    Shavemac pure badger brush
    vintage scuttle (I find that TGQ's sample size shaving soap works perfectly in this one)
    TGQ Cavendish Black
    C.O. Bigelow Bay Rum a/s balm (not needed, but used anyway)
    Black Bear brand strop
    8/8 Hamburg Ring (first shave with this razor, and also first time shaving with a blade this size)

    3 passes, BBS
    a nice coat of baby oil to prevent any spotting.


    This razor shaves like a champ. Also found out why they call it a Hamburg Ring", the sound while stropping (didn't pre-strop) is a wonderful ringing sound.

    Saturday:

    Omega Silvertip
    Parker 91R/new 7 AM
    Gada Cool Mint S/C
    Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
    Nesher Man A/S*
    Amatoury cologne**

    menthol again, because it got really hot and humid here in town. The Gada cream is very cooling and fresh, with a nice minty scent, and rich, full-bodied lather.

    *Nesher Man is a freezing cold a/shave made in Israel, with a great scent that lasts, and a small splash of it will make you feel like you put an ice-pack on your face.

    **Amatoury cologne is from Lebanon--very lemony, and fresh, perfect for summer weather, or for the tropics.

    I decided to mix it up today and try out two things I don't usually use (SS, MWF), but I got a pretty good shave. Just a bit of razor burn on my adam's apple, otherwise the shave might be just a bit closer than usual.
