Woke up this morning to a water heater which is no longer performing it's job and ended up having a VERY cold shower
So to exacerbate the issue, that meant my 1st cold-water shave.  So why not make it as cold as possible...I went with the following set up:

Soap - B&M Arctique
Witch Hazel - Stirling Unscented Menthol
AS - Stirling Frozen Tundra
Brush - in order to keep the theme going....my Wild West Brushworks with 24mm Tuxedo

Nice to see a photo from you and good luck with the water heater.  

Thank you sir!

Barrister and Mann | Leviathan
Ever-Ready 100T | Elite Razor Manchurian
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE

Leviathan was my first Barrister and Mann love, but it didn't start out that way.  I was initially repulsed by it as was my wife.  However, by the end of the day, I was missing it, and my wife became drawn to it as well.  Someone explained that my nose had "received an education." This unique primal, musky accord has become a very seductive fragrance for me.  Despite coffee being an advertised note, I very rarely detect it, and when I do, it's fleeting.  I suspect the coffee note fuses with the leather resulting in something peculiarly animalic and feral.  Leviathan paints a vivid picture of an abandoned dark wood-laden chamber replete with carefully preserved remains of exotic ancient beasts, over-sized leather upholstered chairs and enormous leather-bound books strewn about as if the prior occupants vanished in terror.
