    Good afternoon!

    20220512_153644.jpg

    Straight Shave #366
    13/8 ArtRazor 1000 (23rd use)
    MrEE Tuxedo Brush
    Chiseled Face Cryogen SS and AS
    Maggard's Alum Block
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Beard Growth: 29.5 hrs

    I decided to break out the über menthol soap Cryogen. This is really for menthol lovers. The soap/ water ratio can be elusive, but once you get it, then a nice creamy slick lather is the result. This soap is thirsty. I love the freeze your face feeling from it. Two passes gave me a nice, bloodless, Shave without any irritation. The alum feedback was zero. Finished with the witch hazel and that nice, cooling and matching aftershave. I am seeing a buddy at an Italian restaurant this evening. Have a great afternoon!

    Fabulous Alabama shave! Like your shave kit? I always get nostalgic whenever you break out the Royal Copenhagen!

    Nice chilly shave kit, Joe! I remember introducing you to that vile stuff! You need a gas mask to shave with it. Combined with the meat cleaver who knows! Great shave, buddy!

    Yes and I want to thank you for the enabilization. Lol! It is Maximum May theme for me so what better way to keep it then to shave with my largest razor and the most concentrated mentholated soap.

    OK thanks...now the decision becomes which is the SOFTER one of the two. Every hockey puck you see in the playoffs could well be a new Bill Neumann "flavor"...charcoal.
