After my shave the other morning -

I remember that morning... The "apparent" temperature was "-12C"... Far out.

Sounds like you all need to sell your menthol soaps off cheap before you completely freeze.

 

[lerenau]

You're not wrong!

... In fact, during this morning's shave I started wondering if one could create a 'warming' shave cream.
Yeah, I know. Probably just crazy talk. But all the best mad-scientists have their epiphanies at such times.

I don't mean anything chilli-based. Rather something that becomes slightly exothermic when used.
No, I don't think such a product would ever be worth the very real risk of injury. But, it's an interesting thought-experiment and indication of how darn cold it has been here lately.

For the record, I accept no liability if anyone tries this*.

as you can see @lerenau basically begging us to make uberlather from MWF, glycerol and dencorub.

Hey @todras - can you come and write me a HUGE disclaimer here so that when some idiot tries this, 'that *one* guy', Paste & Cut is not liable for hosting this discussion?

Please children, do NOT try this as home

Maybe you need to get some of this for shaving -

and this as a general body soap -

Nice, good way to keep thin this winter, shed that unwanted skin weight.

Yikes!

Stirling makes a soap which pretty much smells like liniment - would that be warming enough?

It would have to do more than just smell...
Having a pre-shave shower is necessary just to stop shaking.

I don't think I ever got past the smell to actually use it.

NOT SURPRISING REALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THERE IS NO HEART IN THE UPPER ECHELON RESIDENTS!

 

[lerenau]

To be fair, it's not the residents that detract from the place. It's the "honest and respectible gentlemen and women" duly elected elsewhere who come and, shall we say, provide a less than warranted reputation to the city.

I totally agree with you! It was actually them to whom I was referring! I used the word "residents" as an infinitely softer alternative to the word I would have preferred to use! Ummmmmm.... maybe "vermin" might work? Yes..... upper echelon vermin!

Parliament must be in recess ... ... ... I thought all that hot wind would keep the temperature up.

Winter break - too cold for them to be here now!
