Captain Nemo's Absolute Zero Mentholated Shaving Soap

Shave with cold water splashNo pre shaveUsed Kenem X bevel razor (medium aggressive to aggressive close comb) with Gillette Wilkinson sword Indian and then Supermax diamond edge - excellent combination (for me).Note - Gillette Wilkinson sword Indian tugged at 7th, switches to Supermax diamond edge on 10th which was quite comfortable.Captain Nemo Absolute Zero (bone chilling indeed) applied using Pearl resin handle shaving brush (synthetic) - bowl latherNote - I have always enjoyed the base of Captain Nemo soaps. Heavily mentholated creams or soaps do tend have a tad less slickness (in my experience), but the moisturization was well intact. The star feature of the soap was of course the "bone chilling" touch.The Absolute Zero is the epitome of shiver that every mentha head seeks. Wow! The soap gave me chilled out goosebumps. And for that, I must thank Abir.Just make sure this does not enter the eye, hehe.Additional note on the brush - I must add that the Pearl brush has turned out to be remarkable, even more so after prolonged use. The splay has bloomed beautifully which I rarely find in a synthetic. The dense knot offers excellent hydration and with time, the quality has proven itself. An outstanding brush, in my opinion.Single combination pass and a touch upAlum block (a few tingles here and there largely due to the blunt blade used initially)The post shave included a splash of Vetoni aftershave lotion (old school and warm) followed by the application of Bioayurveda aftershave balm (healing and sadly, I believe this balm has been discontinued now)A brrrrr shave!I'm on Instagram as @okiedokie_coolJoin the reddit group - Wetshavers_IndiaGiveaway winner announced!!!
