Theme: You start to freeze - I'm using CFG Cryogen. Single scent note, menthol. Sweet mother of pete. This is all menthol.
In pass 2, I realized my normal face lathering was making it worse. Pass 3, I just paint brushed. It was a nice shave; alum and Thayers seemed to calm it down. Then came the aftershave - easily twice as cold + alcohol burn. Side benefit, my sinuses cleared and my whole head is cold, inside and out.
I swapped to Zingari's balm instead of my normal Stirling Glacial balm. Didn't matter, the cold intensified. I paired Cryogen with Prastara, 'cause menthol goes with anything.
FTFA:
This is not your average soap. This is Cryogen. We put a ridiculous amount of menthol in here. So much menthol, that no other scent could be added – the soap recipe just couldn't take any more additives without breaking down. This will sting and make your eyes water. It might even make your lips go numb. Some may say it is not even usable, but we like it. We believe this is the coldest soap on the market, but if it isn't – someone out there is crazy…
Daily Challenge: Opposites attract - Captain's Choice bowl floated nicely in warm water. The copper is a great heat conductor. It didn't help and probably made it worse. The soap puffed up and became a little more foamy.
