Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Menthol Shave Cream
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick C Repeater

Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen Skin Bracer

We close on our new home today. I am doing my first shave there today.

The Palmolive Menthol Shave Cream here face-lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick C Repeater razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The C may be my favorite Schick variant. Love that razor ♥️
 
We closed on our Simpsonville home yesterday. Today we moved more stuff down from North Cackalacky. I got power, I have water, and just now I have Internet. Woo-hoo! We bought a new washer and dryer that will be installed Friday,
We have a lot of help getting the place ready for the big moving day, Saturday.
 
Hi Friends,

here my Shave of the Day (29.04.2026)

IMG_9764.jpeg
Razor: Kämpfe // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: MWF // Brush: Shavemac // Aftershave: Stetson

The razor is my newest addition to my den. A clone of an Rocnel Elite. What a fantastic razor. So smooth and gentle and by far my most efficient (modern) DE-Razor. WOW. 2 passes with no touch ups. BBS. The Aftershave had absolutely no stinging to it, even that the shave was so thoroughly.

10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
