Late response but just saw this. Nice feeling to the pic.

It's another "FREE Week" ladies and gentlemen.

It's time to be creative

Please feel free to post any photo, with any gear and any style you chose, or contribute by telling us what you used in your shave, with comments on the shave, if you desire.

Color, B&W, sepia or a photograph with any type of artistic touch you wish is always desired.

HAVE FUN!​

Menthol Monday SOTD

Razor: Gillette Rhodium Fatboy
Blade: Rapira Swedish SuperSteel (D1)
Brush: Quinn Faux Ivory w 28mm TGN Finest
Bowl: Captain's Choice Gunmetal
Pre-Shave Scrub: MRGO Lime
Pre-Shave Balm: TSD Iced SubZero
Shave Soap: Prairie Creations DdC Alpine Snowdrift
Post: Monster Block Alum
Aftershave: Neumann Absolute Zero​

Sunday started at least two weeks, possibly the whole month of soaps that I have from Artisans' no longer selling shave soaps/creams, soap/creams no longer produced by major brands and rounding it out will be soaps that have not been in my rotation in over a year. Idea came to me while rummaging through boxes in storage looking for photographs of Bahama cruise daughter and I took 10 years ago and came across three NOS Calani shave soaps that I bought back in 2013 just before I moved from St. Louis to Boise. Out of sight, out of mind. Was not disappointed with Calani and I am never disappointed with Prairie Creations DdC. Sad to the shop close years ago due to illness but her DdC base, and Walther' Menthol (Williams Menthol clone) is outstanding.

Great project — look forward to these upcoming posts, Guy.
And perfect pic reflecting today’s frigid temps.

I like that razor handle Patti. How is the Vida Poche in the aroma department?
