It’s hot today, and I am melting in my chair. My attempt at refreshing myself by shaving has been largely unsuccessful – my face is cool, but the rest of my body continues to be sweaty and hot. The shower calls!
Have a good day!

I think this might only work for head shavers like me. The mentholated soap (or WS-23/Koolada) needs a bigger surface area of your body like the scalp to actually achieve a broader refreshment. Ofc there’s also body shaving, but I guess anything but lightly mentholated soap shouldn’t go there for… comfort reasons.

My wife would object to a dome shave - and menthod makes me think more of my grandma & Klosterfrau Melissengeist than refreshment…

Oh no, if you’re not a member of the extremely receding hairline & balding club like I am, you definitely don’t need to shave your dome.
Menthol works good in some soaps though - Moon Soaps Union is one of the nicest examples and really goes easy with the menthol. You don’t have to start out with CF Cryogen (unless you’re really up for an extreme challenge).
