I am continuing with my Keep It Simple Shave this week. I have eliminated the pre-shave and the witch hazel from my routine. With the exception of Saturday and Sunday, I will be using my Pal Injecto-Matic with a vintage 1950s Pal blade. Here is what is in store for Menthol Monday. Menthol Monday's Shave Keep It Simple Shave Week
TSD Cool Lime Jayaruh #302 Pal Injecto-Matic Vintage PAL CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The TSD Cool Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #302 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Pal Injecto-Matic Razor with a Vintage PAL injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Long time since I used the Pal and, after the shave, I have to wonder why. Great easy, comfortable and close shave with no problems. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Monday 23rd July Vig Shaving Purtech - Williams Menthol/Ice Fresh cream - General Al - Schick Proline P - Speick A/S - Dove Instant Hydration Cream Found the Williams Menthol cream at a local supermarket so couldn't resist. After an excellent cooling shave, I'll stock up with at least another tube. A superb sundial sculpture just outside our hotel.

Much needed shave. First go with "What The Puck". Scent is among my favorites now honestly, pairs perfectly with Aqua Velva. Performance was better than expected. Loaded just fine and took on water well. The result was a creamy slick lather. Definitely top tier for slickness. The lather did thin out ever so slightly towards the end of my last pass but it was still crazy slick and protective. Post shave was also better than expected, left me feeling soft and hydrated. No balm needed, the Velva finished it off perfectly.

Mon 23rd July RazoRock Plissoft 24mm Cyril Salter Solid soap ATT SE1 + Windrose Handle Schick Proline [ 10 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion Another smooth and comfortable Shave with an AC/SE , which for me are proving to be Razors that I can use without much likelihood of mishap.Though the Shave was good it was obvious the the finish was not quite there as the blade was past its best.

First shave with Top Ten cream from Bulgaria. Very good lather. The 1912 with a PAL Super was....well Super. Day logic Brick finished it off.

Tuesday shave """""""""""""" The Copper Hat (lumberjack) Gem FW Treet cs blade JR 241 (pistola grip) Dickinsons witch hazel Nivea balm 2 days of growth mowed down in minutes . Really missed that brush. Felt like the John Wayne of shaving . Treet blade is on shave # as I've lost count but its still sharp as heck. Very loud feedback and a smooth finish. 1 pass probably would have done . Forgot the balm in the pic . Wish you could smell the scent . Very fresh lasting scent. See you on Wednesday gentlemen!
