    Friday morning - my birthday shave:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 12
    Stirling Frozen Tundra SS
    Prep ASB
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

    A year older today and hopefully a year wiser!

    This morning I wanted to show my brother Rod’s soaps some love so I selected the Frozen Tundra and I’m happy that I did. This soap has such a beautiful scent that’s a blend of peppermint, wintergreen, with earthy notes, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, there’s no shortage of menthol - in fact it’s the second coldest Stirling soap after the Glacials, and it has such soothing, gentle skincare. Needless to say the Prep and the Alt Innsbruck were a perfect finishing combo. Three passes gave me a helluva fine BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

    Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

    Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Rapira day 14
    Stirling Glacial Wintergreen SS
    Stirling Glacial Wintergreen ASB
    Stirling Glacial Wintergreen WH
    Brut Deodorant Spray
    Brut Cologne

    These Rapira blades are something else they’re fantastic in the longevity department because they have to deal with my tough beard stubble. The Glacial Wintergreen trio with its delightful scent and its mega frigid menthol sensation felt so good this morning - the soap lathered beautifully with my awesome Yaqi 30mm synthetic, it froze me to smithereens, and the postshave feeling was so soothing as well as comfortable. The matching balm and witch hazel added plenty of extra frozen goodness. Finally the Brut cologne made me smell so nicely old school. This Rapira blade is at the end of the road but it gave me one last hoorah with a terrific three pass BBS shave that was so much fun!

    Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    A beautiful Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Citron SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    It felt absolutely heavenly to smell the gorgeous scent of the Glacial Citron soap and aftershave and to feel the intense menthol sensation - the soap’s tallow formula gives the lather such wonderful richness, slickness, cushion, and protection, it’s so freezing cold, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as moisturizing. The Prep added its own special soothing, and the Glacial Citron aftershave gave me its overwhelming menthol kick along with a delightful blast of citrusy goodness. Finally the Bleu de Chanel’s magnificent fragrance and I was good to go. Three passes with a brand new Astra Green blade gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

    Have a great week - be well and stay safe!

    Friday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 5
    Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS
    Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB
    MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    My bathroom was filled with the delightful scent of the Glacial Spearmint soap and my face was buried under tons of rich, creamy, super slick, mega frigid lather, and the postshave feeling was great. The Glacial Spearmint balm helped to continue the freeze, and it added so much extra moisturizing as well as soothing, while Fernando’s wonderful Frosted Spearmint aftershave smells as lovely as the Glacial Spearmint and it’s a menthol atom bomb. Last but not least the Bleu de Chanel’s gorgeous fragrance and I’m all set. Three passes gave me a helluva BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

    Have a good weekend - be well and stay safe!
