Smoother than silk, feeling like I’m standing near an air conditioner, and smelling great - another brilliant three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much. I’m off to the golf course with some friends of mine in a couple of hours!

Have a good week - be well and safe!

Menthol Monday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap
Jayaruh #371 Badger
Razorock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
Osage Rub

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #371 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Razorock Black Hawk Razor and a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Yep! Cryogen is COLD!!! My first shave with this soap on this "Menthol Monday" froze my face off!

Washed face and will shower later. It's supposed to get really hot and humid today so, a shower will be nicer later. I used my spoon to measure the soap and I had no problem building lather in my bowl. I did have to add a bit of water. I did not feel the really cold until the second pass and the washing face with brush squeezings. My eyes watered! I used Prorasso Blue to tame the cold a bit.

Razor - 1967 Gillette Slim set on 7 and dropped to 5 for second pass.
Blade - Feather Hi Stainless 4th shave
Pre-shave - Proraso Blue (not as cold as the Green)
Soap - Chiseled Face Cryogen (SUPER Menthol)
Brush - Perfecto badger brush that I rescued
Post shave - Thayers Toner "Rose Petal" & Geo F Trumper "Skin Food"
AS - Pinaud Clubman

Very pleasant but cold shave that made my eyes water! Close 2-pass shave with cleanup on jawline. WTG & ATG. Minor feedback on neck and jawline from alum bar. No cuts or errors You can't bleed when your face is frozen!

All kidding aside, this is nice soap for the summer. Scooping out a dollop with my spoon worked very well. It was easy to get the soap all used for the lather. No chunks in bottom of the bowl. This soap worked well. I will use the spoon to keep water out of the jar as much as possible. If this soap draws moisture right from the air, I will keep the lid on it!

Very Nice! I hope all have a great shave today!

Parker 78r razor
Gillette 7 O'clock blade
Whipped Dog Synthetic brush
Viking "Citron" SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe

Looking through my stash and came across the Viking SS which I hadn't used in a long time. It's good stuff so it's on deck this week. Another week with the 78r and I'll do a report on how I feel about it then. Right now, it's a winner. All the parts liked each other so my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Thank you, Joesph. Definitely sounds like a barbershop scent. I have Floid Mentolado Vigoroso so I have somewhat of an idea. I also have Razorock Baby Blue which I assume is their Floid Blue knockoff and this one is really powdery, a lot more so than Vigorso and Floid Blue. I may pull the trigger on this.
