Thank you and I totally agree!A beautiful lather and shave, Akhi. I see you went back to the mild Henson, which is much better for everyday shaves.

Menthol Monday’s South African Grand Freeze:
Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 9
Bundubeard Kameelperd Kick SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash
Unreal……back in 2018 when I first received a puck of this Kameelperd soap I was expecting it to be very cold because I had heard that it was hyper mentholated but I wasn’t expecting it to be to the point where it’s a match for any of the Stirling Glacials. It’s a glycerine based soap with a delightful coffee/peppermint scent, it lathers like there’s no tomorrow, the menthol sensation is so intense, and it gives a very comfortable post-shave feeling. The Gold Bond moisturizer is so good as a balm, and the Northern Elixir aftershave smells great, not to mention how frigid it is. Three passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!
Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe!
