Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #188
Gillette Tech
Personna Super (76)
Cold Water Rinse
Mennen After Shave

Because of my big pressure bandage, I did a partial shave today: left cheek, and neck areas. The Virgilio Valobra Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #188 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Tech and the Personna Stainless Steal Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Guy, nice choice with the Bill Neumann. Some say their Absolute Zero isn't super cold. What do you say????

 

Big pressure bandage?? What happened? Are you going to be ok?

GEMonday, November 4th 2024

Razor : Gem Push button. Mfg 1958-65, mild to tame mid range. Interesting design and eye candy to myself. I always get decent shaves with this razor and will never sell it. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, a very interesting refreshing lavender with excellent lather qualities. One of the best creams I have used and affordable. Very little is needed to whip up some nice lather.
Brush : Yaqi "Purple haze" 24mm synthetic. Great soft face feel and nice handle to hold.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Gem push button and a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

Yes. Though not as chilling as others I have in the den, I like the aroma on this one.

 

I am going to be fine. Went back today for a dressing change. My eye actually started to open around noon today. Once I got the bandage off, I could see (pic 1). They removed the Steristrips and cleaned up the wounds (pic 2). Then they put fresh stips on (pic 3). They will stay on for a week. It is looking good at this stage.
