[Old Sarge]

Menthol Monday!
Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as Pre Shave
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem SS PTFE (6th Use)
Brush: Omega Pro 49 Boar
Lather: Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep, Face Lathered
Post: Osma Alum Block, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Jeris Osage Rub, Nivea Sensitive Cooling Balm


A successful three pass shave, no ATG on cheeks. First time face lathering with the very large Omega 49 brush. Once I got to lathering, I realized I had loaded too much soap to the brush. Tried to add a lot of water and scrub, but in the end the first pass was not that great. Subsequent passes better. Lesson learnt!
