Super Mentholated Cryogen Shaving Soap and Aftershave with a Merkur Futur...Baby, it's cold outside!

It's cold in our neck of the woods and my first instinct is to get even colder by shaving with some Chiseled Face Cryogen Super Mentholated shaving soap and the Cryogen aftershave. Friend of the channel, Dana sent these to me because he knows how much I like the menthol. Thanks, Dana!
Let's get chilly, y'all.

You are still by far the most entertaining KZbin shaver.

Hey, thanks!

Yes you are better than geofatboy and kensurfs

[@SinatraLennon]

I’m in very good company!

[@Chickenmusk]

Just a thought... Dare I say.... If you still don't know if its synthetic or real hair... Just nip one strand of the edge and then put a lighter to it... If it stinks like burning flesh it's hair if it stinks like melted plastic then it's melted plastic. Just an idea...

[@SinatraLennon]

Great idea!

[@MadAzn53]

In the name of science, R41 with brand new Feather blade, shaving outside blindfolded? 🤔🤔😱

[@SinatraLennon]

Now, who’s the crazy one here?! 😆

😂😂😂

[@MadAzn53]

SinatraLennon You know you want to do that, especially with home made Cool-Whip 😂🥶

Anyone else think he was holding a half-pint bottle Jack Daniels in the thumbnail? According to Google translate Zyletek is Polish of razor blades.

Sinatra, You're hilarious.

[@duffman9908]

I just ordered what I think will be my first of many Cryogen shave soap tubs. Can't wait to get menthol'd to the max

[@danaochmanski]

I’m glad you you enjoyed the Menthol soap and aftershave :) Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the blades. Maybe try them with a razor you are familiar with to compare? Also, are you starting to get a back log of products to use? For myself, I probably wouldn’t need to buy anything new for a couple years lol Where is the fun in not trying new products? :)

[@coat.thik1]

I can't shave without mentholated soap. 365 days and work great! 👍

[@lavinduweragala4995]

I'm saving up to buy this soap. It's gonna be my first super mentholated soap, ohhh goodness :) I hope I like it

[@mostafametwaly6557]

Very entertaining as usual.

[@genegomez3402]

I just ordered some of the cryogen and used it 3 times and it definitely makes my eyes water like crazy lol learned it’s great to mix with your other favorite shave soaps and creams. I mix it with my proraso to make it extra mentholated. It’s pretty nice. Try mixing with a soap you would like mentholated !

[@SinatraLennon]

That’s a great idea!

Great shave and that is one of the strong mentholitated soap and you should try the futur on setting 6 and you will be bbs

[@SinatraLennon]

I also might need a blood transfusion!

[@davidg4781]

I bought a pack of maybe 20 different blades. So far the Astras were my favorite. I put them aside for now to save them. I’m also keeping Feathers for last.

We love you 😍 bro

[@SinatraLennon]

Thanks!

[@jfbrko290]

I'm a menth-head also... But I'm not looking for a support group, I think we need to get together to get our fix more reliably! 😂 I love those Astra blades I have a 100 pack. I use them in my Merkur 23c which is my everyday go-to shaver. Much more mild and smooth and pleasant than the Futur has a reputation for being apparently. Personally I love the 23c not only because it's a lot more mild but also because long handle on it has pretty good knurling so that grip is never an issue. plus it's a three piece so I can take it apart and clean it off and let it dry overnight after I've used it that evening.

[@CounterNerd]

Another good upload. I like the different directions you take your videos in. It's dynamic and consistent at the same time, and keeps things interesting!

[@SinatraLennon]

I try to keep it interesting!

Great clip and review. A similar 'cold' Shaving Soap I've used is 'Arctique' by Barrister and Mann, have fun.

[@Dcc357]

Thanks a lot... I ended up buying Chiseled Face Cryogen on Amazon during this video.

[@ordinaryshaver3665]

Both the Astra SP and the Polsilver both are great blades. I'm not sure if the Polsilver blades are from Russia or the Czheck republic.

[@dosetti]

Im glad you mentioned about being careful with that thing.. Its in the mail coming to me. Have a nice one sir! Its Tuesday morning here and off to the work.

[@martysmith603]

Thanks for all the great videos.

[@SinatraLennon]

My pleasure!

[@WolfRanger2008]

You've inspired me! I am going to give those Super Mentholated products a try... As for setting settings on the Mekur; be wary of advice. The variables of blade, beard type, skin sensitivity, degree of slipperiness of the soap, face ,or lack of, preshave prep and even the shaver's level of skill all come into play. Experiment with lower and upper until you find the "sweet point" as it applies to you; is what I suggest you consider going forward. ;-)

[@SinatraLennon]

Good advice!

[@MrPleers]

I get nicks on setting 1 . But almost none on 3 for some reason. (Even though it feels more agressive on 3). So keeping it on 3 now.

[@SinatraLennon]

Weird! I’m still trying to figure out if I like this razor or if I don’t.

[@MrPleers]

@@SinatraLennon I love it. And the way it looks makes me love it even more. It's is a case of the right razor for the right person I guess. :-)

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

Definitely, order some menthol crystals. You can put them in most of your products...in witch hazel, in your shave creams, aftershave balms etc...you get the idea. Cheap on eBay.

[@SinatraLennon]

In my cereal in the morning...

[@sheshaveswithjill4838]

Certainly if you are that much of a Menth Head lol

[@jasperjones6857]

The Futur has some of the biggest blade gaps of any razor. At EVERY setting. All are north of 1.0 mm. See www.badgerandblade.com/forum/wiki/Double-Edged_Safety_Razors_Ranked_by_Blade_Gap

[@domdimensions9219]

Hello sir. Have you tried the other chiseled face shaving soaps? If you have them, can you do a review on any of the other ones? Some of them are really well reviewed. There is one called ghost town barber that is apparently really good.

[@captainamerica4405]

Great shave 👍🏻

[@IchigoKurosaki011]

Russia/Poland for Polsilver from my understanding. Polsilver are my favourite and probably one of the sharpest and smoothest blades out there, but also one of the pricier blades. Astra SP are very sharp but I cut myself too easily with them.

[@hiimbrady]

Oh yeah I just recently went crazy and got some menthol crystals and I've been on a mentholating tear. On my order summary from amazon it was listed as "raw and uncut," which made me chuckle for some reason. And yeah, it looks just like meth. Good luck with your amateur chemistry!

[@SinatraLennon]

Can’t wait to cool up some blue with my crystals!

[@donaldellison2524]

Yeah it is very cold outside today. Also I shaved with a cartridge razor and I used it like a straight razor.

[@twindoom]

Polsilver were made in Poland before bought by Gillete. Now are form Russia.

[@airdbreck]

Great shave funny I used to like the Mad Scientist John was very informative in his videos he used to make his own aftershave as well

[@SinatraLennon]

Yeah, he’s hit a rough patch personally. I hope he bounces back.

[@airdbreck]

Yes I know don’t know if he is still doing his podcast his shave with the Merkur was very interesting and truthful

It’s Polish 😊 5 zyletek pronounce ‚Gillettek‘. 1 Gillettka, 2,3,4 Gillettki, 5...Gillettek. Any razor blade, even no-named cartridges are ‚Gillettki‘, Gillette made its way into the language. Got some Polish (blood) from my father‘s side ☺️ Stirling have some crazy menthol soaps, their ‚Wintergreen‘ is like an anesthesia to the face 😶. Your videos are always entertaining 👍

[@domdimensions9219]

Would you say this is too mentholated for the average person? Hahaha

[@spikeg.jr.4893]

I am not a fan of the futur's design which is why I don't have one. Also the grip.

[@SinatraLennon]

Same here. It could do with a design tweak or two.

[@johnny_3514]

I got a gold Futur for Christmas. Almost sliced my finger off the first time I did a blade change. That razor is so damn aggressive. It scares me, man... I usually just keep it on the lowest setting.

[@SinatraLennon]

Someone told me to place the top of the razor on the counter, place the blade on that and then press down on that with the handle of the razor to secure the blade. Give that a try!

[@iswtwytv]

So in the event something truly catastrophic happens while you're using your Futur/Gort on too high of a setting, the razor can bring you back to life, but only temporarily...

[@SinatraLennon]

So I’ve got that going for me!

[@saurus738]

Did you know that the two side of Futur are actually different? the other one was shorter, maybe that side can give better result under the nose.

[@SinatraLennon]

Really? I’ll check it out.

[@RedRisotto]

A bit off-topic... Why would I get razor burn with Feather blades but not Astra SP? Isn't Feather blades supposed to be sharper = less irritation?

[@SinatraLennon]

Perhaps sharper means a little more skin has been removed like exfoliation. Just a micron more might get those nerves to react.

[@matthewolivier2883]

Not necessarily, razor burn has more to do with how much pressure you're applying than the blade, but it also depends on you. I know guys who get razor burn from sharp blades and guys that get razor burn from duller blades.

[@RedRisotto]

@@matthewolivier2883 Makes sense. Thank you. I'll give it a rest and try again in a few days and paying a bit more attention.

[@matthewolivier2883]

@@RedRisotto another tip is to let the weight of the razor do the work, never push the razor against your skin , this can cause cuts, nicks and razor burn especially when going against the grain on your neck.
