16 May 2026
Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (Epic Shave!)
Smoothness: ★★★★★ (BBS Perfection)
Irritation: ★☆☆☆☆ (Zero Burn)

Time of Day: Morning
Blade Uses: 1
Passes: 2

Razor: Blackland BlackBird Titanium SB
Blade: Personna Comfort Coated
Soap: Chiseled Face Cryogen
Brush: Highlander Blue G5C fan
Aftershave: Chiseled Face Cryogen Balm

Notes: Just take a look at all those Menthol crystals that have formed in the lid of my unopened Cryogen soap.
The Cryogen and the Blackbird gave me a super smooth and chilled out head and face shave.
Even with all the Menthol it still sits second place to MSC Frosted Spearmint, that stuff gives you pneumonia and makes you cry.

It was difficult to stand for a long time because of the foot , but I overloaded (again). So....

Stirling can handle water well, especially in the first pass. This specific soap has also clay. Good volume, texture, and smoothness. Not the best soap in my den, but it's very very slick, medium to good protection/cushion. The water addition must be slow and steady. Even when overloading, is easily handled.

According to the website: The fragrance is a bright and delicious blend of: Banana, Coconut, Rum, Frangipani (a tropical flower), Tangerine. King Rod told me that this scent was discontinued because of the problems from the banana oil source.

Having tried many Stirling, the Mutton base is superior to the original beef tallow formula, at least for my taste. This is the beef. Very few of his soaps have mutton tallow though, he also told that it will be discontinued. Costs him more to make it from what I understand.

Users often describe the scent as having a strong, delectable "banana bubblegum" opening that settles into creamy, tropical notes of coconut and rum. And users are almost never wrong, it's exactly that. Not the easiest scent, but far from bad. Very sweet, almost sickly. But I liked it.

The razor on #6 is aggressive and bites, but hadn't any problems. 2 passes (WTG #6, ATG #4) with details, using the ghost lather only which is very good. Comfortable shave and excellent results.

The splash is so powerful and smells like a sunny day on a beach almost similar to a sunscreen. Goes hard for several minutes filling the room then settles down.

Thanks for your time & appreciate a lot the wishes for the foot recovery. You are all very kind people.
