Menthol Monday's ShaveI will be continuing my AutoStrop experiment. This week I am using my VB1 Valet AutoStrop razor with the same blade from the last two weeks. Monday's shave will be #11 with that blade. Cold Water Rinse Proraso Green Jayaruh #369 Synthetic Valet AutoStrop VB1 Valet AutoStrop (11) CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Green Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #369 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet AutoStrop VB1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop 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...

Sunday’s shave: Schick I Rich Man badger brush Stirling Exec. Man soap and a/s Been working on finishing this soap off. Probably have enough for one more shave. Was not disappointed by the Stirling performance.

20190624 Cairo, Egypt Well, it's a tad warm here. Meißner Tremonia Mint Ice Menthol helps somewhat. Still, the heat is stifling. But the food is fantastic.

24 June 2019 -- It was a Daily-Double and GEMonday for me. These two just "look" like they go together, and they REALLY do!!! Had two passes with the GEM Featherweight and I could've easily stopped and had a great shave; but the Hussy was dressed and ready to go, so a 3rd pass and a tiny touch-up went to the Schick. I ended up chasing and catching the baby without even breaking a sweat!!! These two razors are excellent, and I know it may seem weird, but I thoroughly enjoy being able to use 2 razors on a shave. GEM Featherweight with GEM SS PTFE (6) | Schick Ladies Fashion Razor (Type H1, aka "the Hussy") with a Chick blade (?) | Yaqi 24mm Moka Express Synth | Proraso Sensitive Skin cream. I know it's Menthol Monday, but I've been hitting the Krampert's Frostbite pretty hard so I finished with my other favorite, Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum after shave.

Mon 24th June RazoRock Plissoft 22mm Arran Aromatics-Bay citrus Occams SE -V2 / plate 2 Feather Pro [ 6 ] Tuff Green A/S lotion On my 6th consecutive Shave with the Occams, and got another smooth ultra close Shave. A downside to the ultra close shaves is that my skin is feellng the effect a bit, no visible soreness but feels slightly irritated. The trouble is the razor seems to urge you to take those extra few strokes to get that good finish.

Star 1912 style razor Gem Stainless blade FS Silver Tip brush Arko Hydrate SC Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Daxton A/S
Another really nice shave from the Star/Gem combo. This SE works great for me. Thru a mess up with Amazon, I have 6 tubes of the Arko Hydrate SC so I reckon I'd better get started. It will take a really long time to use those up. But I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks
