    Wow, that batch of Cryogen sounds like it was a real flop. One thing I'll say is that my new Spearmint and Obsidian Glacials are almost borderline-painfully cold. I never expected this type of a freeze from them!

    I was never really a bowl latherer with any soap or cream. I find that Rod's soaps lather better face-lathering. :)

    Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
    Razor: Schick Eversharp, Dubl Duck Goldedge straight razor
    Blade: Personna (6)
    Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
    Soap: WSP - Black Amber Vanille
    After: Home made ASB, Nivea after shave balm
    Cologne: Aqua H2O

    Beautiful weather on this Thursday. The Black Amber Vanille was whipped up nicely by the Vie Long brush. The lather was thick and slick. The Duck and the Schick did their jobs well. The Nivea gave the needed moisture and the Aqua H2O will have me smelling good all day.

    Have a blessed day!

    Captain's Choice Lime

    The Stirling soaps that I have are truly top performers. Every shave is a pleasant experience from beginning to end. The scents (Bay Rum, MITA, and Coniferous) are really nice, and they whip up a dense, slick lather with minimal effort. It's a great way to begin any day.
