    Cooooold shave on this 10th morning of Decadent December! I’m still recovering! This Cryogen soap is unbelievably mentholated! Wow! Definitely not a daily driver soap, but I can say it is a combination Arctic-like/Tear gas tunnel level of refreshing. I’ve had to keep my eyes closed for about 10 minutes after the shave from the menthol fumes! Great three pass head and face DFS with my Gem G-Bar. Ten minutes after the shave the fumes dissipated enough
    for me to keep my eyes open. I’m now definitely refreshed, smooth and ready for the day!

    Nice Neal! Y'all and this menthol thing....FOMO/AD kickin' in, thinking seriously about an option where I can add my own, on my terms. Thinking PAA since I can grind what I want. Maybe Stirling, but it's drops already diluted.

    Very nice razors and gear Keith!

    Just Gorgeous Jim. Awesome image, neat razor! Rex is the only modern DE that I've had on the list, off the list......I should have pulled the trigger on the 30% off BF sale. And I can't even begin to explain how many times I've added and emptied A&E Vanille de Tabac to shopping carts.....

    Beautiful photo Jeff. I'm not sure I could handle Cryogen levels of menthol.

    Tatara Nodachi
    Gillette 7 O’clock Yellow
    Paladin
    SV Cubebe
    Shave Soap & Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    Another all in decadent shave with the Tatara Nodachi, Paladin and the SV Cubebe. The Paladin with the Cubebe is a face lathering dream. The brush has just the right about of scrub and the Cubebe scent is just fantastic. With its 0.90mm blade gap, the Nodachi is a very efficient but smooth razor. Three passes and touch ups ended an "epic" BBS shave. A splash of the matching aftershave left my face smooth and refreshed while prolonging the fantastic scent. I hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

    Fine shave this morning with the Hussy. Went with the Jeeves splash for some Tobacco Tuesday action. Everything worked together quite well.

    Enjoy your day!
