    When will I stop using my Glacial stuff? What's the rush - they're my number one favourites. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap is so enjoyable, in my honest and unbiased opinion. What wonderful lemony-scented lather with arctic cold menthol and perfect skincare. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel are so cold, tear-inducing, and soothing. A new Derby in the Super Speed ensures BBs results with complete comfort and ease. ;) :D

    I am starting SEptember a day early with my Hydro-Magic Schick I-2.

    Dove Men Face Wash
    Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip
    Schick I2 Hydro-Magic
    Personna SS Injector
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Lemon WH
    Aqua Velva

    The Col. Conk Lime Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 Silver Tip Badger brush. Two passes with my Schick I2 Hydro-Magic razor and a Personna SS Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable, most excellent shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Great shave with Frostbite and FrostByte again. The lather was thick and easy to make with my HIS synthetic. I didn't get much chill until the second pass, then it hit me pretty strong. The Fatboy glided through three passes leaving smooth comfortable skin. I got one weeper on my sideburn area, which is very strange - that area seemed impervious to harm - I've never had any trouble there before.

    Maybe I'm still tired from the Oddball fest last night - it was an amazing show, and you should go see it. Every comic was on their A game with new material (at least new to me). Aziz Ansari headlined and was hilarious, as was Amy Schumer, Nick Kroll, Jay Pharaoh, and others.
    Prep: Mickey Lee Lime
    Soap: HTGAM FrostByte
    Brush: HIS
    Razor: Fatboy 9-7-7
    Blade: Voskhod (1)
    AS: Krampert's Finest Frostbite

    This shave couldn't be any more BBS - not even from a professional barber. The new Derby blade in my Super Speed really did the job wonderfully, and the big Turkish horsehair brush whipped the Glacial Lemon Chill soap into rich, FRIGIDLY-COLD lather. The Glacial Wintergreen balm and witch hazel put tons of extra freeze in my face!
