Thread: Menthol Mondays

Just a few changes...
Two days of growth on the beard, and reminded of how unlike the Cart, the Straight excels at mowing down a heavy beard..
Still the Prep/Barbasol combo but the Robert Williams 7/8 gets the Menthol Monday honors..and does it well.

Other soaps and AS are on the way...

Smooth Shaving...Monday is just a little bit better when it's Menthol Monday...

Menthol Monday went as planned:

Prep- Noxzema
Lather- Stirling's Glacial Wintergreen
Blade- Astra
Razor- RazoRock Mission
Post- Witch Hazel
AS- Aqua Velva Blue
Balm- Stirling's Margaritas in the Arctic

I then finished up with some Kleenex to blow my nose. No I am not sick it's just that soap would make a Yeti's nose run.

Cheers,
John

Menthol Monday with a twist (of lemon). My last order from Stirling included a couple of bath soap samples. I do like their bath soap and had some on this last order. This time they included a sample of their Lemon Chill bath soap.

Pre Shave- Shower with Stirling Lemon Chill bath soap
Lather- Uber lather of Stirling Glacial Osidian and AOS unscented cream
Razor- Wacker Jungmeister 8/8 spanish point
AS- Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill
Cologne- Bath and Bodyworks White Citrus

So I also get in some new components for Menthol Monday and get to put them both to use today.

Prep is the short and cold finish shower
Still Cremo Pre because I packed the Noxema away for a bathroom model
Soap is the newly arrived Stirling Glacial Obsedian
Razor is a Max Sprecher 8/8 Barbers Notch
AS is the Clubman Jeris Osage Rub

The soap is a menthol slap that seems to hit you early, often and then again...
For me it was the start of my second, S to N mostly ATG pass.
I raise up my chin, evidently change the convection flow and cold tears start flowing...
Icy, cold, tears - a very interesting sensation.

Power through, fantastic shave, that Osage Rub is a bargain worth hunting down...

Happy Menthol Powered Monday...

The Lemon Chill bath soap has a great scent and there is a ton of lather! The Chill portion is interesting...hot shower with goose bumps. The strength of the menthol is felt strongly in some rather...umm, interesting places.

Unless you use it in the shower and not just as a face prep.

Big fan of Menthol Monday.. I've been doing that for ages. I also do Fat Tuesday (MWF) and/or Tabac Tuesday. Williams Wednesday and Face Freeze Friday.

Cold water shave finished with menthol spiked HazoGel

Today was PREP and 7/8 Hart SP and Osage Rub...

The only bad thing is that my PREP is now down to maybe one more shave out of what is in the corners.
Not that I am going to be out of soap/creme mind you...but I am going to miss that PREP as I force myself to use some other Menthol in the basket...

The PREP is gone, long live the PREP...
