It's Cryogen, it's cold. Need I say more? Also, is today's challenge just to make everyone miserable? I thought that shaving with Cryogen, crying my eyes out was about as unpleasant as a shave could get without being a "bad shave". But today, I learned something new. Menthol + super rough ATG first pass does not make for a nice and comfortable shave. I did get a close shave at the very least, though.
Shave Miser to the tune of Snow Miser from The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)
Lyrics:
I'm Mister Cold Shaves
I'm Mister Menthol
I'm Mister Cryogen
I'm Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Shave Miser
Whatever I touch
Lathers up on my brush
I'm too much!
He's Mister Cold Shaves
He's Mister Menthol
He's Mister Cryogen
He's Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Snow Miser
Whatever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch
He's too much!
I never want to know a shave
That's over forty degrees
I'd rather have it thirty
Twenty, ten, five and let it freeze!
He's Mister Cold Shaves
He's Mister Menthol
He's Mister Cryogen
He's Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Shave Miser
Whatever I touch
Lathers up on my brush
Too much!
