The air quality is atrocious today, so today's shave is themed to match. I'm...pungent.

lol hadn't thought of the Smoker's Hypothesis

Does Sonder have some in there too? Kryptonite is definitely the one I think of having significant cooling.

福 (Fú Dào) is a little flatter smelling in the soap and the firecracker notes dominate. The complexity is easier to pick up in the aftershave and fragrance, though I wouldn't call any of the versions bright.

It sounds like you might be talking about disposable cartridge razors or all-in-one disposable razors, like the BIC Sensitive razors.

We'll recommend that instead, you buy a double-edge razor, which uses small replaceable double-edge blades that you change out every seven to thirty shaves.

This wiki talks about double edge safety razors in the "Removable Blade Razors" section. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor

🦣 Mammoth Monday 🦣

  • Brush: Mammoth x Voigt & Cop Smash 28mm VC01 Super Badger
  • Razor: Charcoal Goods Level 2
  • Blade: Astra SP (11)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Kryptonite - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Fine Accoutrements - L’Orange Noir - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Chris Rusak - Timbre
  • Passes: WTG, XTG
  • Coffee: Colombia. Piendamó, Cauca - v: Tabi - p: Sterilization with ozonoated water and ultraviolet light, anaerobic yeast fermentation, controlled drying
  • Music: Wye Oak - Civilian

I forgot that I have a very limited window for mentholated soaps—hot enough to want the cooling, but not so hot that the air conditioning is on—so I should be using Kryptonite as much possible. Excellent Mammoth Monday shave.

Across the Spider-verse is a blast, but as a warning, it's pretty long. Might want to go without any pre-movie beverages.
