    Nice chilly day here in New England so I decided to break out some of the big guns menthol wise. The Stirling Synthetic 22mm brush whipped up a perfect lather from the Glacial Lemon Chill. The Lemon Chill packed a frigid wallop that almost made my eyes water and nose run and if you are not a menthol monkey it's best if you stay clear of these soaps because boy can they freeze a penguin solid! 1 and 1/2 passes for an effortless BBS shave. Cold water rinse and applied the Alum Block and

I don't know if I need better glasses or what but to the eye and SWMBO's eye I have no nicks, cuts, weepers, or razor burn but something set the alum block off and it let me know I went wrong somewhere....I just don't see where.....

    The Fine Snakebite offered no burn or anything besides a nice frigid punch :Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily::Animatedfrozensmily:. Hope you guys are having a great day/night and have a great shave!!!

    Thank you, it comes and goes. This Morn. was out of the norm. My meds work pretty well 95% of the time. Thank you for your concern.

    Proraso Sapone
    CH2 Synthetic
    Fat Boy (5)
    Polsilver SI (1)
    Proraso AS/Balm

    Yes, this is today's set up; your eyes are not deceiving you. ;)
    I have decided to Titanic through this gear even upon returning home Sunday. So...get used to it.
    While I actually prefer the Proraso cream, the Sapone is a decent, if not pretty good soap. The menthol scent is very pleasing; I believe because of the addition of Eucalyptus.
    Nothing new to report vis-a-vis the Fat Boy and the Polsilver SI. Great stuff.
    The finish with Proraso AS & Balm is a refreshing change from the Floïd Blue; but not necessarily better.
    The balm leaves a sheen to my skin. Nice.
    Thank you to ALL for the well wishes for my opera production. For your perusal, here are a few shots from a dress rehearsal.
    Back in Mississippi in April for another production of Carmen with a completely different cast at Mississippi Opera. That will be a professional production rather than collegiate.
    Have a great day!

    Outstanding. So you are not just another pretty face. :happy102:
    Should you have a youtube post of the music from your production I would enjoy listening to it. Should you be in the middle of another production, Break a leg. :)
    :signs107: I'm sorry I haven't been paying closer attention, but I've been buying brushes.:o

    Krampert's Bay Rum

    I have found my super lather for as long as the Williams last. Next time the urge to use a straight strikes me... Never been a fan of Bay Rum, don't like cloves, but it's not bad. Might be time to try other brands. Good day, folks!
