Sunday:

Omega Wooden Handle
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Kool Frosty SC
Keri unscented moisturizer
Mennen Skin Bracer Original AS

This Kool Frosty cream from Bangladesh which I bought last night is amazing. The lather is so explosive, and the menthol effect is really strong. I would rate it at about the same level as the Ingram from the UK. The Mennen Skin Bracer felt so good and cold after such a nice shave. :biggrin:

 

I've Been PIF'd

AS-Old Spice Original
Finishing Touch-Caswell Massey Jockey Club Talcum

My first ever PIF arrived, Proraso Mentholated SC and Proraso Pre/Post Shave. Who knew that today would change my shaving life.

Both were so cool and refreshing. The pre/post lets u know when it's time to shave and when it's time for AS. The cream lathered divinely, I easily could have set up a chair and shaved three customers...what lather!

The shave was great, and what's even greater was to be shaving with PIF'd product which was superb. Thanx again Johnny

I am going to award this shave my highest grade of all time, 4.7 Blades. Enjoy your Sunday.

 

Using TSD ISZ double menthol wheat as my guide as it is most mentholated cream I used, how much stronger would something like this or Ingrams be? Also reminds me I need some Mennen Blue, I have sourced some

 

Well, the ISZ is still stronger, but this Kool Frosty cream can definitely let you know that it has menthol. I'll be posting a review of it today, and this week I'll be trying and reviewing the other Bangladeshi cream which I bought.

 

A little less octane is cool. The big picture is more important. I look forward to both of your reviews.

thanx,

Sunday

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Astra (5)
Brush: Men-u Bristle (boar)
Soap: Cool Water style
A/S: Aqua Velva Ice Sport

Very nice shave. I was tired, so I didn't feel like using a straight razor was a good idea. The soap and brush are new acquisitions from the Grab Bag (i.e. The Box). I'm not sure who made the soap, but I love the scent and the lather was superb (though the brush could use a little more breaking in). The Ice Sport was a nice complement to the soap's scent and provided a good start to the day.

 

Sunday!

Another fantastic shave. I do miss my Green Marvy Mug and our hand-held shower head, this week has delivered some really good shaves.

Now, time to do the hair and head back out into the unknown to get this party started!
