Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Astra Green day 11 Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS Prep ASB Floid Vigoroso AS Splash Givenchy Gentleman EdT After two back to back non mentholated shaves it felt heavenly to have a Grand Freeze. The Glacial Electric Sheep soap is such a treasure - the same delightful lemony/citronella/eucalyptus scent as the regular version, the mutton tallow formula gives this soap such magnificent lather that’s so thick, rich, creamy, SUPER SLICK and protective, the menthol sensation can flatten a polar bear, and the skincare is A1. The Prep delivered so generously on the postshave care, the Floid Vigoroso aftershave gave me lots more menthol goodness together with its gorgeous old school barbershop scent that I love so much. Last but not least the Givenchy Gentleman which was a gift from my sister-in-law a few years ago and I’m good to go. BBS from three swift, enjoyable passes - what a great shave this was! See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Prep and the Rubby Dubby Doo provided tons of extra moisturizing and icy cold menthol goodness. Finally the heavenly Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m good to go play a couple of rounds of golf with my brother-in-law - ohhhhhh, I’m going to make him bad. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was so pleasurable! See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The scent is so gorgeous - it’s Sharp Dressed Man with two boatloads of frigid menthol, the tallow formula gives it such fantastic lather with so much slickness, and the skincare is A1. The Prep delivered so generously on the postshave care, and the Rubby Dubby Doo as I call the Osage Rub put another layer of icicles in my face. Finally the heavenly Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m ready to enjoy another restful day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me such an awesome BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

The Glacial Black Cherry soap’s beautiful scent filled my bathroom, the lather buried my face so thoroughly - was it ever thick, rich, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave completed the job superbly. Finally the magnificent scent of the Bleu de Chanel and I’m all set.

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: King C. Gillette Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Canadian Tech/Astra Green day 6 Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS Prep ASB Fine Snake Bite AS Splash Aramis EdT Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful - this Glacial Electric Sheep soap has a b..ch of a menthol sensation like all the other Glacials, it’s a mutton tallow based soap so the lather whips up so thick, rich, creamy, mega slick and protective, not to mention how soothing the postshave care is. The Prep and the Snake Bite aftershave were a perfect finishing combo. Last but not least a couple of sprays of Aramis and I’ll soon be off to the synagogue for the morning prayers. My Canadian Tech delivered a dynamite three pass BBS shave that was so much fun! Enjoy your weekend and your shaves - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Menthol Monday: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Wilkinson Sword/new Astra Green Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS Prep ASB Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash Yves Saint Pour Homme EdT Whenever I use this Wilkinson Sword DE I have to be more careful because it’s somewhat more aggressive than my other razors but it still performs great. The Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and aftershave are two menthol atom bombs with a most delightful scent that I really enjoy - the strawberry is the more dominant feature but the lemon still comes through, the soap lathers like there’s no tomorrow, the menthol sensation is strong enough to freeze a polar bear out of the arctic, and the skincare is numero uno. The Prep gave me such wonderful postshave care, and the Glacial Strawberry Lemonade aftershave froze me to smithereens - it’s beautiful scent goes very well with the Yves Saint Laurent fragrance that my wife’s aunt gave me as a gift a couple of years ago. Three glorious passes and I’m dolphin smooth - what an awesome shave this was! Wishing you all a great week - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Wilkinson Sword/Astra Green day 13 Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray Aramis EdT My face is going to need all day to thaw out after this menthol bombardment - the Glacial Spearmint soap’s awesome scent filled my bathroom while I was lathering up and shaving, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm has no shortage of menthol either, it smells exactly like the soap, and it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing, the Frosted Spearmint aftershave is another menthol atom bomb with the same delightful spearmint scent, and finally the beautiful Aramis fragrance to finish off. Three glorious passes gave me a most delightful BBS shave which I enjoyed immensely! See you all tomorrow - have a great weekend! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze: L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed7 AM day 10 Stirling Glacial Citron SS Prep ASB Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT These 7 AMs……oh gosh, they’re decent blades but they don’t seem to have the same kind of longevity that most of my other blades have. True, I have a very tough beard but my Astra Greens last easily for two weeks and these 7 AMs seem to get duller after quite a bit sooner. I’ll see how this one performs tomorrow and then I’ll make a decision. The Glacial Citron soap lathered beautifully with my Yaqi Barber Pole, the scent is so delightful, the menthol sensation was killer cold, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Prep and the Glacial Citron aftershave were a perfect finishing combination. The Eau Sauvage is a lovely fragrance that I’ve been using for many years - my mother in law gave it to me as a gift. Three glorious passes did the job for me - another great BBS shave that I enjoyed thoroughly! Have a good day - be well and stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
