Jun. 14, 2024 - Brrrrrrrrrr

  • Prep: CeraVe - Hydrating Facial Cleanser

  • Brush: Zenith 506U XSE unbleached boar

  • Razor: Stirling Soap Co, Stainless

  • Blade: Astra Green (1)

  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Cryogen

  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Sonder Balm

  • Fragrance: Imaginary Authors - Every Storm a Serenade

Another year, another frozen face! After freezing my lather earlier this month I thought about making an ice bowl and now that Im looking at this thread and see u/Priusaurus failed I'm glad i didnt. I thought I had a diabolical and unique thought but it seems that u/bmac92 has beaten me to the punch. Thankfully today is not wildcard wednesday and i wont buy a DQ for it. I just wish there was a consolation prize, like maybe the ability to feel my face at some point today...that would be great!

But anyway, onto my (apparent) copycat shave:

Cryogen, probably only second to Terror in the amount of menthol in the soap out of all the frozen soaps out there. Stirlings Glacial line is just a cool breeze in comparison to this, but even that is not enough for Frigid Friday! As I pulled my stuff out for today I realized that I havent used nearly enough of my Stirling Frost drops, despite using it as my splash last year. So for today I figured, "it's liquid, why do I need any water for my lather?"

And so, I loaded up my brush, then started adding liquid, then of course added more and since I like a drippy lather, added more!

Global warming? never heard of it! I'm pretty sure this shave has brought a new ice age upon my face! Im worried that Im going to have to watch out for a Mammoth! I feel like i might have a deadly encounter with one of those soon so better get ready!

Daily Challenge: My stack its not the best work, but I also was dodging two boys who wanted to "help" this morning.

Daily theme justification: yep, its all cold

Relevant Post Shave & Frag: Winter-->Spring-->summer. Cryogen is the depths of winter cold-->Sonder is the hope of warmer weather in spring with the random chilly day from the WS-23 -->Every Storm a Serenade is the summer afternoon thunderstorm that frequents Mississippi
