Lather Games Day 14- Frigid Friday

• Brush: Semogue 1800
• Razor: Schick M1 Adjustable
• Blade: Schick - Injector (4)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial Spearmint
• Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Glacial Spearmint Splash
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - Cooling Recovery splash
• Post Shave: Duke Cannon - Ice Cold Balm

This was an eye-wateringly cold shave. We know that Stirling's Glacial soaps have more than just a little bit of menthol. I usually do a two-pass shave so my eyes don't quite get the opportunity to water. However, with today's challenge, I ended up doing a third pass and that's when the tears started and the nose started to run. After I splash some cold water on the face and blade buff, it's time to amp up the chill factor. First up, Glacial Spearmint aftershave that I didn't cut with a damp hand. A very Roy Kent-ish "fuuuuuccccckkkk" left my mouth causing my wife to ask what was wrong from the other room. Once that dried down a bit, I figured it was time to amp the cooling up further. Nothing better for that than ZM's Cooling Recovery splash. Yup, now tears are rolling down my face and I'm pretty sure I dropped to my knees praying for mercy. Not willing to throw in the towel, being the masochist that I am, I threw on the Duke Cannon Ice Cold balm which just trapped the chill from the prior two things on my face. Let's just say, my face was nice and cool for a good 45 minutes.

Alright, on to the Daily Challenge. As u/mrtangerinesky likes to say PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!. This is the face of a man who never shaves against the grain except to please our Shaving Overlords and the djudges. I only did one against the grain pass on my face. No way in hell I was going to do that on my neck. That's crazy talk!

On to a summer day. Have a great day all!
