  7. It's just called "Ice Fresh" therefore the focus is on the fact that it's CHILLY. And thank you for the kind acknowledgement .

  8. Barbershop was my first Stoylin soap. It taught me the greatness of Stoylin. Nice barbershop scent, too.

    And now my comments. I missed my name this go-round too, but it didn't allow me to see the pics...I don't know why.). Anyway, what caught my attention the most is your advice to just "tap the puck" a few times. With any puck, I've gone the "0:25" or 0:30"swirling action. The last cold soap I had was Stoylin's Wintergreen, and I don't remember tapping it for just a few seconds, before lathering. Tell you what-when I get the Glacial Electric Sheep, I'll swirl one day, then tap the next, to see what is most comfortable for me. Course I'll use just the tips of the brush while swirling. But to be fair, I'd have to know that Cryogen is colder than a Stoylin Glacial. OK, @Trigger, there ya go.

  14. When I would visit them in the summers, my cousins always told me that I talked funny having my Alabama accent. I said that they were the ones talking funny... :D
  15. Thank you, Clint. Much appreciated.
    Terrific shave and photo, Bruce! Everytime I see that razor posted, I just think: "That razor means business!"
  16. Awesome Bruce!
  17. Thank you Joe. I had better results today after a reconditioning process.

    @Paul Turner Cryogen is supposed to be colder than any mentholated soap on the market. I only suggested tapping a dry brush on Cryogen to prevent it from having a Vaseline texture and using more soap than necessary. Cryogen loves water so much that I believe it absorbs it from the air because it is never bone dry even when left uncovered for 24 hrs and is the reason you can lightly tap a dry brush approx 5 x or more to load the soap. Again, swirling or tapping a wet brush in this soap is a no-no.
