just a question-on a humid day, wouldn't a tobacco scent cancel out menthol?

 

Did you buy the shaving soap version?

 

I MAY do that, but I was talkinbout the aftershave. Come to think of it, for the frozen ones, shave soap would be better than bath soap.

 

There's not much difference between the bath soap and the shaving soap when it comes to the menthol effect. The bath soap is also damned cold.

 

It didn't for me today, but I see your point.

One pass and detailed clean up. Smooth sailing except 1 small red dot on Kleenex. The pass, WTG/ATG/XTG and slant strokes, resulting in a good DFS+.

This PantaRei brush just gets better and better, what a terrific knot. Great performance from CRSW and the Cobra followed by CRSW Replenish + Nourish. Nice shave.

Great looking handle.

 

An excellent Thursday


Excellent shave this morning! First time using the Fine Platinum Soap, in short, it rocks. Easy slick lather that smells wonderful. Also haven't been using DEs much recently so went with the red tip today. Face is smooth and refreshed.
