Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master Recovery Splash

On theme today with Black Ice. I don’t typically reach for a mentholated soap, but I do enjoy this one. I’m a sucker for anise.
Also my first shave with the new-to-me 921-M. It’s a very nice razor, and it’s definitely a keeper. I only did two passes to give my neck a break from yesterday, but I still had excellent results.
I read Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing when I was a kid. I think I randomly stumbled across it in a library one summer. The story always stuck with me as an incredible example of leadership, perseverance, and survival. And, quite honestly, a huge dose of luck. I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it. It’s an incredible story.
