Awesome shave Akhi!

I heard that the Eucalyptus Mint soap, splash and balm are cooling - how do you find them?

Thursday morning: (meh)

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 4
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

The sooner I finish off this Cold Spices crap the happier I’ll be. I must say that I had a great shave, however.

Wishing you all a nice day - be well and stay safe!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another incredible shave this morning! Returned to RazoRock and their excellent "Gold Label" shave soap. Great AdP scent with incredible lather built with the Ever-Ready synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Acqua di Parma "Colonia" aftershave emulsion & EdC.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Todah, Akhi! Yes, the peppermint in the Stirling Eucalyptus Mint is mildly cooling. I have a salt/pepper mill with menthol crystals in it, that i could use to add to the lather. All Stirling aftershaves are available with menthol added as regular menthol or glacial.

Is the bottom of the tub visible yet? At least you got a nice shave even if you don't like the menthol in the Old Spice scent. Have a wonderful day, Akhi!

PolSilver
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel

The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #438 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fatip Grande razor and the PolSilver Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
