The Areffa Discovery soap/balm is a lovely combination.
 
Some years ago this razor gave me the nastiest slice I’ve ever had with a razor. I put it away for a long time and have only used it sparingly ever since. But, not too worry, today was super smooth, super efficient. And the new Frosted Spearmint was definitely an unusual choice given the weather. It’s a new arrival so I wanted to try it out. I’d say it’s cool but not freezing. The after shave, on the other hand, is more in the freeze category. :)
