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

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

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.

I've only tried a sample of the fragrance, so I can't speak to the rest of the line, but I generally find that dirt and mineral notes read as way stronger in shave soap scents than they do in an aftershave. I wonder if that's what you're picking up here.

😄 I only ask in case that's part of what's causing the issue. Maybe there's a character limit beyond which you can still attempt to post but it errors out.
