    Menthol Monday:

    A sensational Grand Freeze!

    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Derby day 6
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

    Brrrrrrrrrrrrr cold and beautiful is the way to describe the scent of the Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave - this is one of the newer Glacial scents that Rod and Mandy released this year. I had such tremendous lather from the soap, that gorgeous scent filled my bathroom, the menthol sensation froze my face to smithereens, and the postshave feeling was delightful - so soothing as well as comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of extra soothing along with a nice menthol coolness, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave froze me out completely along with its magnificent scent - my wife loves it on me. Three glorious passes gave me a super duper easy peasy BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

    Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

    Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Lemony scented icicles in my face on this hot day!

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 4
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
    Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
    Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

    So refreshing and bone chillingly cold is the best way to describe the Glacial Lemon Chill trio - not to mention how beautifully BBS three passes got me. What a delightful shave this was and the Eau Sauvage fragrance is a terrific compliment for anything lemony scented!

    Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

    It’s been almost a week since I posted here because I’ve been so damned busy but here I am again. The 7 AM blades I’ve been using are so crummy - after two or three shaves they become so dull and tuggy because of my tough stubble so this morning I changed to an Astra Green blade and I got fantastic results. The Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave smell so beautiful - the soap lathers like a champ, it’s full of slickness, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the postshave care is wonderful. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so cooling as well as soothing, and the Glacial Cedar aftershave is another menthol atom bomb with the same gorgeous scent as the soap. Three passes gave such a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

    Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 8
    Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

    This Glacial Mango Sunrise is absolutely fantastic - the scent is so gorgeous - it’s one of the newer Glacial soaps which Rod and Mandy released this spring, the lather, like ALL of their soaps is awesome, the menthol sensation is so intense, and it’s chock full of soothing skincare that the Gold Bond moisturizer enhances so well. Finally, a couple of splashes of the Floid Vigoroso aftershave and I was good to go - do I ever LOVE that old school barbershop scent and that powerful menthol kick that it gives. Three swift passes knocked off my tough stubble - what a dynamite BBS shave this was!

    Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe!

    I'm sure it was a great shave setup, coming from Doc and Nurse Ezlovan. But I'm not sure I'd go for a "tootty-fruity" scent for a shave. Having said that, I like their Lemon Chill, but for me it's better in a Glacial persuasion, to help "freeze" the scent.

    Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 9
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    Did I ever freeze my face off with the Glacial Electric Sheep soap - yikes is it ever frigid. I LOVE its scent, it gave me tons of wonderful lather, and it left my skin feeling not only icy cold but so soothed and comfortable thanks to its mutton tallow formula. The Gold Bond moisturizer is also nice and cooling as well as soothing not to mention how bone chillingly cold the Northern Elixir aftershave is. Last but not least the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance topped it all off. Another perfect three pass BBS that was lots of fun!

    Enjoy your Sunday - be well and stay safe!

    Menthol Monday:

    A glorious Grand Freeze!

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 10
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

    If this shave was any colder my face would have disintegrated - what a beautiful scent this Glacial Iceberg Island soap and aftershave have. Three passes left me super duper BBS - did I ever enjoy this shave!

    Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash

    There’s nothing like a brand new blade for ease of shaving, especially if it’s an Astra Green because these blades perform so well for me. Not only are they very sharp they’re also really smooth. The Glacial Frozen Tuxedo soap and aftershave have the same magnificent scent as the Sharp Dressed Man or the Creed Green Irish Tweed but they’re loaded to the hilt with frigid menthol. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was lots of fun!

    See y’all tomorrow - same time, same station!

    It's nice to see that so many artisans have duped Creed's GIT.

    Does Doc Ezlovan stil have Agar Shave Soap? I have a puck now and I may be grandfathering the thing. If he doesn't, that may explain why he put out another Oud soap for this fall.

    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

    Gee, is this Glacial Iceberg Island scent ever GORGEOUS. It’s an exact copy of the Island Man which is an exact copy of the Creed Virgin Island Water. The soap gave me tons of fabulous lather which was so slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation hit me like a ton of frigid bricks, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer worked its magic - it’s not only very cooling, it’s so soothing, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave went on icy cold along with its delightful scent that I love so much. A special thanks to Rod and Mandy for creating these two treasures. The brand new Astra Green blade helped ensure another perfect three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

    Happy shaving my dear friends - see you all tomorrow!

    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole

    Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

    Absolutely awesome - what a delightfully scented soap and aftershave from Rod and Mandy - these two fine people are such geniuses when it comes to shaving soaps, aftershaves, bath soaps, etc. The scent is so gorgeous - along with the cedar there’s another note which seems to be a bit of lime, the soap is so easy to lather, it’s so slick, the menthol sensation is off the charts, and the postshave feeling is numero uno. The Gold Bond moisturizer felt so cooling as well as soothing, and the Glacial Cedar aftershave went on frigidly cold along with its beautiful scent. Another most enjoyable three pass BBS shave - wow!!!!!!!

    Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

    Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 6
    Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

    This Mango Sunrise is one of the newer Glacial soaps that Rod released this year and I LOVE it. The scent is so awesome - along with the mango I also pick up some other notes such as cream as well as a bit of musk. Does it ever lather like a champ, it has tons of slickness, there’s a boatload of freezing cold menthol, and it gives wonderful skincare. The Gold Bond moisturizer doesn’t lack menthol either and it’s so soothing - it’s perfect as a balm. Finally the Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its delightful old school barbershop scent and its icy cold menthol kick and I’m good to go. Another great three pass BBS shave - no complaints whatsoever!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

    Gold Bond Moisturizer

    Did I ever freeze my kisser off - wow, this Glacial Citron soap and aftershave are WONDERFUL. The scent is brilliant - lemon, lime, grapefruit, and a bit of tangerine all come together beautifully to make this stuff so refreshing and summery, the soap lathers like there’s no tomorrow, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the skincare is perfect. The Gold Bond moisturizer felt so soothing as well as chilly, and the Glacial Citron aftershave went on with its frigid menthol kick. Finally the Eau Sauvage fragrance which is so old school classy and I’m ready to enjoy another day of retirement. Three glorious passes gave me a most enjoyable BBS shave!

    Have a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Astra Green day 7
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island SS
    Gold Bond Moisturizer
    Stirling Glacial Iceberg Island AS Splash

    This Iceberg Island is one of the newer Glacial scents released this past spring and I LOVE it. It smells MAGNIFICENT - it’s an exact copy of the Virgin Island Water from Creed. The soap provided so much thick, rich, super slick lather with a monstrous menthol sensation and such a soothing postshave feeling. The Gold Bond moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Glacial Iceberg Island aftershave icy cold menthol kick felt so heavenly not to mention that its gorgeous scent lasts all day. What a great three pass BBS shave this was!

    Wishing you all a wonderful weekend - be well and stay safe!
