SOTD April 2026

Thursday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 5
Lea Menthol SC
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Although I’ve primarily switched to soaps since quite a long time there are still some creams that I still enjoy using from time to time and the Lea Menthol is one of them. It’s one of Spain’s finest, its scent is awesome, just a small dab on both cheeks is enough for great lather that’s so thick, rich, slick and protective, the menthol sensation is not overwhelming but it’s still plenty icy, and its post-shave feeling is so comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer gave me lots of extra cooling soothing, and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave is another Spanish treasure - it smells delightful and it gives a whopper of a menthol kick. Three passes gave me a terrific BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

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

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another wonderful shave this morning! Returned to Adopted Acres Soap Co. and their excellent "Lime on the Line" shave soap & splash. Fantastic scent with great lather built with the S. Tinker synth for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave splash & Creed "Himalaya" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)
