  1. That's good it works for you. It's strong enough for most menthol junkies and a great lathering soap also.

  2. Your right I was surprised at how well it lathered and skin care was very good too. :happy088:

  5. If you want my honest and unbiased opinion the Cryogen is indeed a major menthol face-freezer. It's however only SLIGHTLY stronger than the Glacial soaps (to me) but inferior in the lather and skincare. I also find the lack of a scent to be disappointing from the Cryogen because it's so freakishly overly-mentholated. Yet, the Glacials are more intensely-cold than ever before because of Rod's production methods, and they have the same wonderful scents, they lather perfectly, and their skincare is brilliant.
  6. Jeff which in your opinion is the coldest glacial from Stirling?

  9. SOTD January 27, 2016

    Prep: Warm shower

    Lather: Proraso White

    WTG, touch-up

    Nice, efficient shave this morning with CCS results. My 24-hour beard growth is continuing to lend itself to one pass with touch-up. I'm not as smooth as I would be with two passes but I'm also eliminating irritation or other problems by using this method.

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!

  10. Thanks Roby!

    The original boar knot was too stiff for my liking so replaced with the satin tip. Not only feels better but I think the black knot ties in really well with the handle.

  12. Hello All, this is today's SOTD;

    1937/38 Gillette Senator.
    1956 Gillette Blue Blade.
    Omega Travel Brush. (Boar)
    Proraso Blue shaving cream.
    Proraso Blue post shave balm.
    Vintage English Leather as splash.
    Vintage English Leather cologne.

    I wanted to use a razor I haven't used in a while, so I got out my favorite Senator, and had at it. I rate this shave as a two pass BBS. Here's the Senator in its home, a case I personalized for it. -
