Chiseled Face - Cryogen
Not a lot of time this morning and a lot of it had to do with the shave. For my July 'Cool" themed shave I selected Cryogen. I mean...what cooler soap is there than Cryogen...right? Anyway, I haven't used Cryogen in a while...in a real long while. But this morning...loading my brush...I knew something was off. It just didn't load like other Chiseled Face soaps. But I went on. I face lather so on to the face I go. In retrospect...I think I should have bowl lathered this morning. Anyway...this stuff just did not want to go one evenly. Started to work some water in to build a lather. Man this soap just was really slow to build. I kept adding more and more water...and believe me it seemed like I was adding in buckets. After 15 minutes or so (yeah...not an exaggeration) I finally got a good lather. It took me a while...but I got there. All that being said...man was this stuff cold!
Still using the Feather ASD2 Razor that @woodpusher is lending to a pass-around. So far I have used the Feather Hi-Stainless and Voskhod blades. Today I am using a Gillette 7 O'clock Super Platinum. This is my go to blade as of late...and it seems to be a winner with this razor as well! Sharper than a Voskhod and way smoother than the Feather, this blade really sang this morning! Eliminated the weekend's growth in no time at all and left my face feeling smooth. I am really liking the razor a lot! With the right blade...it can be an effortless shave.
Decided to keep the freeze going and opted to use the Ultimate Osage that @uacowboy made for me. This is some really good juice! And Cold too! Here a glug, there a glug, everywhere a glug, glug! The scent is typical Osage...powdery...but it doesn't last all that long. So I will likely spay on some other stuff before I go to work...you know...for the people in the elevators.

This beautifully fragrant soap is absolutely top tier in the way it performs and in its transcendent scent. The soap kept on taking in water, becoming extremely well hyrdrated almost to the point of being runny yet very slick.
