July 14, 2023 – Cool Shaving with Menthol

  • Brush: Maggard Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Superspeed
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (5)
  • Lather: Godrej – Cool Cinthol Menthol Shaving Cream
  • Post Shave: Proraso – Menthol and Eucalyptus

This isn’t what I planned to use today. I actually use this cream-Godrej Cool Cinthol-a fair amount. In general, I have not been very fond of the cooling shaving products but this one is nice and I don’t find it as drying as some of the other products with menthol. I think this was a black friday deal and I only paid a couple of dollars for it and the regular price is around $5, so really quite a deal. Paired this with the Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus aftershave.

For the daily challenge, I did a head shave today and the instructions said to go against the grain on your face, but I did it on my first pass on the head shave instead. So normally I do a two pass head shave but starting against the grain kind of made it more of a four pass shave. Against, with the grain, across and then back to against. So my head feels a little rough today. But for the sake of the games, I’ll take it.
