Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 9
Bundubeard Cool as a Cucumber SS (frigid)
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Noble Otter Northern Elixir AS Splash

My dear brother Jaco in Pretoria, South Africa created two versions of this Cool as a Cucumber soap. One is non mentholated but it still has a cooling effect and this one that I used today which is so bloody cold that it easily compares to any of the Stirling Glacials. It’s glycerine based and it closely resembles the Yeti Snot soap because it’s the same colour, I love the peppermint notes that accompany the cucumber scent, it lathers fantastically, there’s plenty of slickness, and the postshave care is excellent. The Stoffel balm is also powerfully mentholated, just a small amount is required because it’s very concentrated, and it’s so soothing as well as moisturizing. Finally the Northern Elixir aftershave went on with a lulu of a menthol kick and its nice eucalyptus/peppermint scent. Three passes with my cheap Junjie razor gave me a great BBS shave that I enjoyed so much.

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe.
