On a -15C morning, who'd be crazy enough to shave with a soap as frigid as the Frost_byte? Me, myself, and I! Man alive, I love this stuff so damn mucho - it does everything I want it to do because it lathers in a second, it freezes the living daylights out of me, and it gives great skincare. The Gold Bond moisturizer soothed my skin and provided plenty of extra cooling so that the chill continued. The Rubby Dubby Doo almost knocked me for a loop when I slapped it on - wow, did it feel intense. BBS again with so little effort.

Over a month on this blade!



Razor: Mongoose B1 (90)
Handle: Jürgen Hempel Spiral (30)
Blade: Feather Professional (29)
Brush: Plisson Pearly Gray Synth
Soap: B&M Latha (6)
Post: B&M Latha
Frag: Terre d'Hermès

The first shave with this blade was on November 19th. After how smooth today's shave was I'm confident that this blade will hit the 30th use milestone.

The more I use this Latha line from B&M, the more I confirm my initial thoughts on how good it really is. I could use this as my daily soap and save all my others for special occasions. Who am I kidding? This is a special occasion soap as well.

My newest piece of kit today is the Terre d'Hermès EdT. This is my "Where's Waldo" fragrance. I've had a thought in my mind for what I'd like from a fragrance for years without knowing how to describe it. Upon finding Terre d'Hermès yesterday, this search has ended.

Merry Christmas!!!

Shave On & God Bless!!!
