SOS: March 2025

You got me started on freezing shave soaps with your frequent use of Glacial Obsidian right as I joined TSD. Course we had different screen names back then.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Ingram Shave Cream
Jayaruh #467 Synthetic
Pal Injecto-Matic
Vintage Pal Hollow Ground
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

Ingram Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #467 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-Matic injector razor and the Vintage Pal Hollow Ground Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Menthol Monday’s Nuclear Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella/new Wilkinson
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

This Goodfella is a really good fella indeed - although it’s such a mild razor it performs so well. The Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have a MAGNIFICENT scent that’s an exact copy of the Virgin Island Water fragrance from Creed - the soap’s lather is wonderful, it’s so easy to work up, there’s so much slickness, it’s killer cold like all the Glacials, the postshave feeling is so comfortable - typical Stirling perfection. The Stoffel balm is another Bundubeard treasure - thanks so much to my dear brother Jaco for creating it - it’s loaded with menthol and it’s so gentle on my skin. Finally the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave froze my face to the max and its delightful scent lasts just about all day. The new Wilkinson blade helped me get a superb three pass BBS shave that was lots of frozen fun!

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