Gentlemen, we are quickly approaching Christmas. I hope those of you who celebrate are well prepared. Our theme this week is to include your favorite holiday decorations. Sadly, I must apologize because we have not yet gotten ours out for the holiday. Thus, I'm left with nothing but this humble offering. Despite my lack of demonstrating the theme, I have been happily admiring all of your submissions over the past week. You gentlemen never fail to impress!

Shave of the Day (SOTD) Merkur/Menthol Monday December 17, 2012
proxy.php
• Prep: Brush soaked in warm water, face washed with Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Anti-Blemish Cleanser, luke warm shower
• Razor: Merkur 500 Progress
• Blade: Polsilver SI
• Brush: Vintage restored with TGN 18mm Silvertip
• Soap: Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus with added Menthol
• ASB: Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm (the "old" original formula)
• AS: Mennen Skin Bracer with added Menthol
• Post: Cold Water Rinse, Double Splash of Aftershave

This has become my standard Monday shave, about the only variable is mixing up blades or switching between the Skin Bracer and Aqua Velva.

I bowl lathered today because I wanted to add more menthol. It is much too warm for this time of the year, the high is expected to be a balmy 49°F (9°C) way too warm for this time of the year...I need it cold and this combination gave me a nice freeze this morning.
