Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lime Shave Soap
Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger
Schick Krona
Gillette Silver Blue
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer AS

The TSD Iced Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #454 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Krona razor and the Gillette Silver Blue 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...

Cella is not an everyday soap for me (not a fan of the scent) but I can't argue about is performance and post shave feel.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Returned to Mike's Natural Soaps and his excellent "Bergamot, Orange, Ylang-ylang" shave soap. Great scent and lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Epsilon "01 Blue Mediterranean" aftershave splash. I observed "No Shave Sunday" yesterday so today's shave was extra nice! It's been a while since I last used this soap and had forgotten what a great lather it produces.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)
