Yay, the Geo Fatboy special! I've proposed today's challenge for Theme Thursday a couple times in my early days in this sub, but surprisingly it never got enough upvotes (I naturally suspect mod misconduct).

Like wetshaving ambassador and mixed bag Geo Fatboy, I used a large R 41 for this (He used the Grande, if memory serves, and this GS is just the stainless steel version of the same razor in the same form factor), but unlike him, I didn't stop after a single ATG pass and proceeded with XTG and WTG passes myself.

For today's theme, Union by Moon soaps get menthol levels right, IMO. It's distinctly cooling without ever crossing into unpleasant territory or causing teary eyes. The balm has a bit more (at least perceived) menthol, but still at nice levels. For relevant post and frag, I'm going for a complementary theme of the frigid barbershop followed by warming up again with a warm and spicy bay rum. u/IcyPooter definitely started feeling a bit warm with that frag.
