If we are generalizing my circle of friends seem to talk about the temperature being in the high teens or low twenties and that sort of thing. Near zero we usually go with zero and add above or below in some way. I am in Canada.

Good shave. Monday type day the weather is not great and my attitude is quite poor. This scent will surely stick with me all day as it has in the past.

  • Blade: Feather AC Pro [8]
  • Lather: Moon - Bixby - Soap
  • Post Shave: Moon - Bixby - Aftershave

Good shave. I feel bad for this goofy razor that I never use. It works well and I usually get a good shave but it is awkward to use.

I am really happy with this scent. The splash feels nice and sticks around for quite awhile.

  • Razor: Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip
  • Blade: Treet Platinum [8]
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Vert Noir - Aftershave

Good shave. Strange scent but it has grown on me.

This brush handle is very large and the shape makes it a bit difficult to maneuver. I do like the brush even though it doesn’t quite suit me.

  • Lather: Barrister And Mann - Adagio - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister And Mann - Adagio - Aftershave

Good shave. Warm enough for menthol? Probably not but It’s what I grabbed.

Good shave. This scent usually stays strong throughout the day. It’s not my favourite soap or splash but it works.

Good shave. Lime-tastic morning coffee with above average temperatures outside. This blade is not great in this razor I’ll likely swap it out next shave, it’s a bit harsh.

  • Blade: GEM Stainless [4]
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Thè Noir Et Vanille - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Thè Noir Et Vanille - Balm

Good shave. This tub is on its last couple shaves. It will be a sad one to finish as it was one of the first sets I bought. I do still very much enjoy the scent, not a big fan of the balm but at that time it was hard to find the splash.
