June 14, 2024 – Frigid Friday
- Brush: Z Feidu - Barber Brush
- Razor: Merkur - 34C #ZAMAK #STAINLESSLESS
- Blade: Treet – Black Beauty (?)
- Lather: Spearhead Shaving – Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime
- Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving – Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime
- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving – Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime EDT
- The Lather: I’m no stranger to Spearhead’s products, but this was the first time trying the synthetically mentholated version. The scent was exactly the same as the unmentholated Sea Spice Lime version, as was the lather produced.
- The Shave: I found the cooling effect to be a nice touch to the fragrance, but ideally would have had a little more of a freezing feel. The shave was otherwise nice, and I find the Treet Black Beauty I found in my blade stash to give a relatively smooth shave.
- Aftershave/Frag: I couldn’t pass up a full Sea Ice/Spice Lime day, especially since I’m using the Sea Spice Lime bath soap right now making it a superfecta.
- Theme: Sea Ice Lime includes a synthetic menthol for a gradually increasing cooling effect.
- Challenge: I thought this would be easier than it was, but surprisingly the round Merkur head is hard to balance a giant brush on (see SOTD Picture).
- Acknowledgements: Thank you u/2SaintsDude for the soap for today’s shave.
