Shaving With Cool Cologne Shaving Cream

Looking for something I hadn't used in a while, I found Cool Cologne. The first time I used this was in 2017, and the last time was in 2021. This is a shaving cream from the UK, I believe, and when I used it for the first time, I was impressed by the amount of menthol in the product.

Since I've had this one tube of shaving cream for over 8 years, the formula will start to break down. The one thing you could notice is the lack of creamy texture to the paste. It was unfortunately very dry and needed a boost of water. This led me to try a bowl lather, but that just didn't work out as planned. So I placed a large amount in the brush I was using, kept it wet as I could, and started a face lather. This turned out to be what was needed and I got the shaving cream to come back to life I even noticed the menthol was present. As it turns out I had a great shaving and would use this again but I don't think I'll be waiting eight years to try it again.

This week I watched one movie and two documentaries.

"The Gorge" is a 2025 American apocalyptic science fiction romantic action film directed by Scott Derrickson, starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy. The story centers on two elite snipers, Levi Kane (Teller), a former U.S. Marine, and Drasa (Taylor-Joy), a Lithuanian operative employed by the Kremlin. Both are assigned to guard opposite sides of a mysterious and deep gorge for one year, with strict orders to avoid contact with each other and the outside world. Their mission is to prevent the escape of monstrous creatures known as "Hollow Men" from within the gorge. As time progresses, Levi and Drasa defy their orders and develop a bond, communicating across the chasm and eventually meeting face-to-face. Together, they confront the emerging evil from the gorge, challenging their training and loyalty. The film blends elements of action, science fiction, and romance, exploring themes of isolation, duty, and human connection. "The Gorge" was released on Apple TV+ on February 14, 2025.
