Menthol Monday
Hot water wash with a washcloth

Bombed Soap Commander Vision
Gillette slim (J2)(9)
Persona lab (4)
Omega Alum
Iced Aqua Velva ice blue
B&B Ocean lotion
Today's shave was excellent. MM again, seems they fly by. Ole#7 did a great job of the bombed vision (this tub may last longer than me). It was rich and cool and slick. Three passes with the slim. I bumped it up today to 9, I really like when I'm smooth late into the afternoon. I got to thinking why some razors take me to the afternoon delights while some (although smooth at the shave) just seem scruffy by 5oclock. So I bumped my slim into maximum overdrive. I paid mind to the go'ins ons, braced for blood flow. But nothing happened. Just smooth and comfy. (We'll see later if I achieved my goal). I finished with a hat trick of alum, iced Velva, and ocean lotion. (Got a thats nice from the missus).
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Thank you, Roby. Have a great day, buddy!

Hadn't used a boar brush for a long time and it showed. Ok lather but nothing like what I get using a synthetic. Shave turned out ok but will go back to synthetic brushes for a better lather. YMMV of course with brushes. Now go enjoy your day folks while I go to the dentist

Excellent lineup today Mark!

 

Wonderful picture, Mark!

 

Thank you, Mark. Arctique is terrific. It is the coldest AS I have, and I love the Japanese peppermint scent. The post shave feel is also top notch.
