SOTD 28 July 2015


Let's start this week with some challenges: going for fresh if it's possible and also going with our favorite brushes. Let's see.


What I can say it could be mad for someones: I have badger but I'm not fond of badger.
But I'm fond of boars (the bigger kntos, the better) and I'm liking a lot the synthetics, especially the later productions.


#4 in my personal chart. The Omega S-Brush. Not a bank breaker but just a great latherer and performer.. Synthetic love. Can be used for soaps, croaps or creams with the same success.


Today after few secrets experiments I will use the "Menthol Dope" v1.0. An oil based menthol addictive that can be used as a chilling pre-shave or as a glacial additive for any soap or both ways. Bald mans like me when hot use it also as post-shave on moist skin.
Organic, natural, hand made, effective.




Pre: A good shower and Menthol Dope Oil
Brush: Omega S-Brush
Razor: Rockwell Razor @2
Blades: Rapira Sweedish Supersteel (2)
Soap: Proraso White Soap
AS: Proraso Splash / Stirling Ozark Mountain.


Moisturizer: My home made cream "Skin Bomb"with shea butter, lanolin, wheat germ oil, avocado oil and argan oil.


Music: Etta James - Greatest Hits


EDT: Armani Code Ice







Have a wonderful shave and a fresh day to all gents!
