Today was a bit nuts, but I'll stick to the shaving story.

Lately, after executing a speed shave with the Cremo Cooling, about 18-24 hours later, my face really starts to itch and become very irritated.  Today, I needed to speed shave again.  The Cremo Cooling and I gave each other a cold glare.  Then it struck me, and I remembered something I bought for my wife last Christmas.  I immediately bolted to her bathroom, rifled though her “organized” disarray of various shapes and sizes of squeeze, pump, and pour vessels, and absconded with her unscented Kiss My Face.  I was impressed with the results and if I don’t start clawing at my face by tomorrow, the Kiss My Face will take up permanent residence in my den.

Very intriguing scent. Initially smells of leather. But then once lathered it takes on a different personality. You start getting the smoke, vetiver. And then not until I started shaving did I actually start smelling coffee. Very unusual. The aftershave is great. Much more vetiver in the splash. Healthy dose of menthol. Great face feel.

Great looking handle on your razor Fred.

ATT Calypso R1
Feather
Zenith B02 Boar
Nuavia Blu
Witch Hazel

A wonderful shave this morning to end the week.  The big Zenith Boar whipped up the Nuavia Blu quickly and easily.  The softness of the brush coupled with it's good backbone makes face lathering a pleasure.  Three passes with minimal touch ups ended with a near BBS.  I am finding the ATT Calypso R1 to be an efficient and comfortable razor to use.  I hope everyone has a great Friday.

I wonder what's in that Cremo that bothers you. Does the non menthol also do that?
