Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Ingram Shave Cream
Jayaruh #476
Gillette Fat Handle Tech
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS
This week I am using my pre-war Gillette Fat Handle Tech.
The Ingram Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #476 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Fat Handle Tech razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday’s Frigid Report:
Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 8
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Strawberry Lemonade AS Splash
Guys, read the review that I wrote on this Glacial Strawberry Lemonade soap and you’ll know what I mean by how fantastic it is. The matching aftershave is equally as delightful. Another fabulous, bone chilling three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!
Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Wonderful shave with which to kick off the workweek. Returned to Ariana & Evans and their excellent Brut homage, "60's Cologne" shave soap. Great Old School scent with a super thick and slick lather built with the Ever-Ready badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Brut aftershave lotion & EdT.
BBS bliss!!
Hope you have a great day.
