    Thanks, Paul.

    I remember being at the airport, passing time as my flight was delayed, and came across an article in either Bloomberg or Wall Street Journal regarding how the Pimenta Racemosa crops came down with an infection and they were going to destroy so I immediately three bottles of the regular and lime version.

    Cold Water Rinse
    TSD Iced Lemongrass
    Jayaruh #433
    RazoRock Black Hawk
    Feather Artist Club
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #433 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the RazoRock Black Hawk Razor with a Feather Artist Club Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday:

    A super duper Grand Freeze!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Shark day 6
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Prep ASB
    Osage Rub AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    My face is absolutely frozen solid from this shave - even the mentholated pre shave soap from Stirling is nice and chilly, the Glacial Electric Sheep soap’s scent is exactly the same as the regular version - a lovely blend of lemon, citronella, and eucalyptus, the mutton tallow formula gives it magnificent lather, the menthol sensation is off the charts, and the skincare is brilliant. The Prep added lots of extra cooling, soothing care, and the Rubby Dubby Doo froze me lots more. For me no fragrance can beat the Bleu de Chanel - everyone who smells it on me says it’s gorgeous. Three passes left me smoother than silk!

    Have a good week - be well and safe!

    Shave of the Week Starting 2 May 2022

    Henson Medium razor
    Silver Star blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    Proraso Green SS
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    1st time using the Henson and it worked out well. Seems to have a narrow window for best results but when you find it, it's all good. A sharper blade might help a bit more so I may try a different blade in a couple days. But I like Silver Star's so I'm happy and so is my face. Now go enjoy your day folks

    That's what we must do when something like that becomes known. Cost me my NB18.
