I come up with some weird ideas, I know-bear with me. You guys who grill and smoke a lot and who are in general just pyros like me (especially in our hot, muggy South)know how you get that greasy, smokey feeling after a day of smoking and cleaning up afterward). Well, it being Father's Day, I grilled some good old hand-patted burgers cuz you grill what you can find nowadays, right? So a post-grill hot bath and shave test with a couple of blades using one of my new brushes with some MDC Vetyver seemed like just the ticket. A couple of hours prior I got one of the greatest ideas since the wheel-"Put your aftershave in the freezer," the voice kept saying. So naturally I did it.
Finished the shave with a couple of blades I had done some mindless "tv laps" on that aircraft carrier Arkie and put 'em through a thorough stropping progression. My word, they were glorious-just one of those memorable edges where you don't even know they're shaving until you're BBS. So I had earned it. After a hot water rinse and clean-up my gear, I went to the freezer, put a few cubes in a glass for a relaxing beverage, gave the pooch her usual 2, and rubbed my BBS face with a couple more (another pro-tip if you want to really cap off a hot day).
Then a generous splash of Royall Vetyver, and wow! Friends, I don't know when I've done anything more icy-cold refreshing save jumping in a mountain stream in cool weather. And as rarely happens, it was far nicer than I even anticipated, especially for a vetiver junkie like me. I could get hooked on this if I didn't like variety so much.
I don't do silly social media stunts, but consider this a #frozenafter-shavechallenge. Don't knock it til you've tried it (after you've earned it of course)!
