Looking at Myrsol as a potential Aftershave
 
Hot Bath
Prep- Bulldog Face wash
Pre- Proraso Crema
Brush- SOC
Soap- MdC & 4 drops of homemade glycine/menthol, scuttle lathered
Razor- Ever Ready Jewel
Blade- Feather ss [2]
Post- alum, Thayers Witch Hazel & 2 drops of glycine/menthol

This was the first use of the razor and it gave a reasonable close shave with no cuts & no irritation what so ever. The razor is very audible in feedback but I feel I have not got the technique down yet. Now that shave was ALL menthol! :icon_razz: face would still be cool sitting in the Devil's Kitchen
