Call me a masochist, but I do like a face freeze; even in winter. The MMOC gave a stoater of a shave. It laughed in the face of two days growth; and hewed it down like a hewing thing with an especially good reason to hew.
Smooth as anything, smelling good (not too overpowering) and feeling cooler than the man that you have to wait on in The Velvet Underground song...

Friday's shave
Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash, followed by The Gentleman's Groom Room Pre-Shave Prep +
Razor - Colonial The General (Black).
Blade - Kai Captain Titan (Pink) Mild (Day 1).
Soap - OSP Menthol and Grapefruit Soap.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 Synthetic Badger.
Post shave - OSP Menthol and Eucalyptus Grapefruit.
First outing with the The General, very impressed, shaves as good if not better than it looks. First impressions, very well designed, constructed with excellent performance. For the first few strokes, found the grip a little on the slippy side. However, washed my hands and dried to make sure no pre-shave oil on my fingers and all as good.
After a 2 pass shave, skin was BBS with no issues - a great shave. I found it relatively easy to find the optimum shave angle. The Kai Captain, as ever performed superbly - I appreciate that your YMMV.
The only issue this morning was I found it difficult to get a decent lather from the OSP Menthol and Grapefruit Soap. The lather was decent, but not as good as I had become used to.
The OSP Splash was a great way to finish off the shave. As I ran out the door into the biting arctic wind, I could certainly feel a good face freeze.
Have a great day, all.
