Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #395 Two-band Badger
JiFULI Double Edge Razor
JiFULI Platinum Edge DE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Florida Water

The Colgate Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #395 Two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the JiFULI Double Edge Razor and the JiFULI Platinum Edge DE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning’s Mega Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 10
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Hugo Boss EdT (sample)

As I’ve said before many times in the past this Absolute Zero soap and aftershave are definitely the two COLDEST products on the market. The scent is a very nice aquatic/minty mixture, the soap is vegan based because in India where this stuff is made the use of tallow is prohibited due to the country’s religious laws. The soap lathers so easily, it’s so slick, the menthol sensation is so intense that it feels borderline painful, and the postshave feeling is so comfortable. The matching toner is extremely moisturizing as well as soothing along with a MONSTROUS menthol hit, and the Snake Bite aftershave can freeze your face to smithereens. Finally the Hugo Boss fragrance which I guess is nice (my wife loves it) and I’m ready to enjoy the weekend. Another wonderful three pass BBS shave that such a frigid pleasure!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!
