SoS: October 5, 2015 - October 11, 2015

It's awesome stuff - you'll love it!

 

That Cryogen makes me "Cry" it also does a number on my sinuses!

 

Try this aftershave next spring when it comes back. Then you'll find about about crying and what can happen to the sinuses.

 

Going to have try this one. So Osage Rub on Steroids?

 

Like liquid nitrogen on steroids!

 

Thanks for the heads up.

 

B&M have in stock but our IT Department blocked the site. Hope when I get home tonight it will be available for purchase.

 

Guy, be careful. B&M even issued a warning for customers that they are not responsable for any damages this aftershave could cause to sensitive skin. Even a menthol maniac like myself knows his limits. I'm telling you this as a friend.

 

Good advice.

 

OCtober - Trick or TREET
October 5

Razor - Edwin Jagger DE89l
Blade - (2)
Brush - Vie-Long 12601 The Pony
Soap - TSD Lanolin Bay Rum
Post - Cold Water, Alum, Nivea Original

Day two on the Trig. Monday morning and the final day of training. I've finally bought my freedom from the grind of webinars and e-training. Life is good. And, it's even better with a great shave again. The second shave of the Trig was equal to the first. A bit dull but not at all harsh and just needs three full passes with a bit of my usual tough up to get a very high level DFS. I'm not sure I could ever get BBS with this blade but I rarely chase the baby so I'm not too worried about that. With the Pony in the Rum the lather was awesome and man does the scent from the TSD soap jump out at you. Love it. I'm now ranking my soaps with MWF in first, TSD Lanolin in second and Tabac in a very close third. Actually TSD and Tabac are probably tied.

As far as comparing the Trig to the King I think the King is still a bit better of a blade but I wouldn't be upset if I had to use the Trig for an extended time. That's now five shaves on the focus and five TREETS in a row. Haven't found a trick yet!
Now, if only the Pakistanis could smooth out their commute like they smooth out their blades!

I read their warning when I went to order and figured it it is extremely cold for you and you use menthol daily it had to be a killer. Learned my lesson this morning. Cryogen is damn cold as it is and my home made menthol additive is 1/4-1/3rd colder than m-bomb so really had no business adding in the first place. Indeed a lesson well learned.

Was able to place my order and added Cologne Russe as the ingredient list sounded pretty darn good.
