Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap
Jayaruh #454 two-band badger
Schick C
Personna Injector
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen After Shave

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #454 two-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick C Repeater Razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Monday 11th November
Canadian Schick E3 v5 + Schick Proline B #1 + DScosmetic T4 Synthetic + Ach Brito Mogno Bar + Williams Aqua Velva AS + Aloe Vera Gel

1st use of the newly acquired Schick E and the Ach Brito Mogno soap.
I used the bar directly on the stubble and easily built up a wonderful creamy slick lather with one of my favourite brushes. This confirmed all the great reviews this soap has. The lovely cologne scent being one of them.
The result from the new to me Schick with a new Proline blade, was up there with the best.
Well pleased!!!

Shave of the Week Starting 11/11/2024

Razor.........RR Cyber II
Blade..........GSB
Soap..........More For You
Brush........Stirling Synthetic
Post...........Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
A/S...........Mountain Mike Sage Cologne

Right dandy shave to start the week with. I'm liking the Cyber II razor, it's so smooth, comfortable and efficient for me. I also like the industrial scent of the More For You SS. Lathers so easily and gives great protection and results. So my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Menthol Monday’s Grand Freeze:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Bic day 12
Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash
Givenchy Pour Homme EdT

This Glacial Mango Sunrise is one of the newer Glacial which Rod released this past summer and I absolutely LOVE it. The scent is unbelievably beautiful - along with the mango there’s a creamy and slightly musky note, its beef tallow formula promotes such amazing lather that’s so easy to whip up, like EVERY Stirling soap the slickness is superb, the menthol sensation is mega potent, and the skincare is A1. The Gold Bond moisturizer is also very mentholated, and the Northern Elixir has a nice eucalyptus/pepperminty scent - it also freezes like hell. Finally the Givenchy Pour Homme fragrance and that’s it that’s all. What a great three pass BBS shave this was!

Hope your week gets off to a good start!
