SOTN about an hour ago or so. I figured chaos was a good start for going into a Monday! Hope everyone has a great week!

This was a lovely 1 pass WTG with touch ups. DFS for me and exactly what I’m looking for in a daily shave routine.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Menthol
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer

The Palmolive Menthol Shave Cream face-lathered well with Jayaruh #199 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE 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...

Shaving cream could have been better.
 
Probably not the best idea to break out this Frameback on four days of stubble. I never cared much for this razor but it improved after some care at the Gemstar Idaho razor resort. Still a little tuggy on the first pass. Maybe it’s a technique thing :unsure:
