You must be grandfathering that Central Texas Soaps aftershave. I thought they disbanded a couple years ago.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap
Semogue 1305 boar
1914 Gillette Pocket Edition
Gillette Super Blue Blade X3
Cold Water Rinse
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The TSD Iced Lemongrass Shaving Soap lathered well with the Semogue 1305 boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1914 Gillette Pocket Edition Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I really liked it, too. Even bought a couple of their hand soaps. Technically they were "bath soaps", but I just used them at the sink for hand-washing.

Menthol Monday:

What a Grand Freeze this was! (South African style!)

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 3
Bundubeard Cool as a Cucumber SS (with Glacial type menthol)
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

To look at this Cool as a Cucumber soap you would think it’s either Colonel Conk Lime or Yeti Snot because it’s the same colour and it’s glycerine based. This soap has a very nice scent - there’s a lot of peppermint which sort of covers the cucumber notes, it’s a LOT easier to lather than the Yeti Snot, it gives a menthol sensation that can knock a polar bear on his butt, and it’s so skin friendly - no dryness or irritation whatsoever. The Stoffel balm smells really nice also, and not only is it freezing cold, it’s so soothing and moisturizing. Last but not least the Floid Vigoroso aftershave went on with its gorgeous old school barbershop scent that I love so much along with a bloody strong menthol kick. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was tons of fun!

Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!

No Name razor
SuperMax Blue Diamond blade
No Name Brush
Lord SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe

Pleasant shave to start the week with as the No Name pair worked well. The Blue Diamond blade is just fine. The Lord SC is nice; lathers easily, enjoyable scent and mild but pleasant cooling effect. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

I'm glad to see some TSD products being used.
