Glad things have been sorted out. Crossing my fingers for you that you don’t get called with any disasters on your nice mini stay-cation!
 
Freeze the soap before using??? MMMM ICE CREAM!
But of course Chad, it really kicks up the cooling effect if it's ice cold to start with.

Pre Shave: CBL Preshave Soap
Razor: Gillette '48 - '50 Super Speed
Blade: Parker Premium Platinum
Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Finest Badger Shave Brush - 26mm
Soap: Lisa's Natural Herbal Creations Wet Shave Soap Cedar & Saffron
Post Shave: Cold Water Rinse Alum Block, and Dickson's
After Shave: Dove Men+Care Hydrate+ Post Shave Balm
Cologne: Davidoff Hot Water EdT

Slept in this morning so after work shave today.
Lisa's soap is great preforming and smelling soap. Loads easily and lather without much effort at all. The lather is Tier 1. Strength of scent is 2.5 to 3 of 5 to me.
The Parker blade still delivered a great shave in the Super Speed. 3 passes, one slight weeper on the neck, no alum sting for a BBS shave.

Finished with the Dove balm and a few spritzes of the Hot Water.

Kicking off the 3 day weekend, well 4 day, I'm taking Tuesday off too. Sitting on the patio at the cigar lounge with some Buffalo Trace Bourbon and a Liga Pravda No. 9 cigar. Good start to the weekend!
 
Enjoy the 4 day, after battling with that gremlin for so long, you deserve it.
 
A benefit of seeing what soaps others are using is it reminds me to pull out some that are little used.
 
WOW, did I get behind, sorry about that. Fantastic reads and photos craig
