PSA: This stuff is cold. I'd like everyone trying this soap for the first time to remember that it's cold. Just because you don't get a huge menthol hit when you open the tub doesn't mean it's not cold. It's cold.

I forgot, went thru my routine and now OTHER STUFFS ARE COLD.

Favorite GB, Sabre rocks hard, and Terror is my go to summer shave. 90+ out? It's gonna be this. Every time. Smells great, Excelsior base so it works great, no burning menthol stuff cause it's synthetic. Just awesome.

10/10

Greetings,

Early morning cold water shave.

Over the past few months out of all the razors that i've re-acquainted myself with the baili BD177 has totally amazed me how much of a incredibly good razor it is, each and every shave that i've had with this super-speed clone has been consistantly good.

A pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Nivea Men ~ Cooling PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.
