Today I opened up the razor 1/4 turn, which it gave it just a tiny bit more efficiency, thus producing a much better shave. I truly enjoyed today's shave. BBS finish.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Derby Menthol Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Stick Injector Razor
Personna Injector Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer
The Derby Menthol Shaving Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Stick Injector Razor and the Personna Injector 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...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Skipped yesterday so today's shave was extra nice. Returned to Wet Shaving Products and their excellent "Gaelic Tweed" shave soap. Fantastic Creed GIT scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Davidoff "Cool Water" aftershave splash & EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

Menthol Monday’s Superb Grand Freeze:
Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 2
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
This Glacial Obsidian soap has always been a top favourite of mine - its scent is a lovely black licorice type, the lather explodes off my brush and it’s so thick as well as slick, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and it gives a wonderful postshave feeling that the Gold Bond moisturizer enhances. Last but not least the Snake Bite aftershave added another coating of icicles in my face. Another glorious three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!
Happy Easter Monday folks - have a great week ahead!
