SOTD: June 2026

Menthol Monday’s Crummy Experience:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 3
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash
Stirling Spice Cologne

This bloody Cold Spices soap and aftershave refuse to die - it’s unbelievable. I loaded my brush for an extra ten or fifteen seconds and there’s still some soap left in the jar. Anyway, the menthol itself felt good but I don’t think I have to say how it screws up the Shulton Old Spice scent. Thank goodness that now the container won’t be around for much longer. The Cold Spices aftershave went on with a nice chill but then the menthol started killing the scent so I applied a little of the Stirling Spice cologne and that stuff made me smell delightfully Shulton Old Spice. This morning I had no issues doing my three passes and did I have a lovely BBS shave!

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

Great shave Akhi! It sounds like this soap is determined to keep you from finish it!
