    Lately I've been using about 95% soaps so this time I decided to use the cream I originally planned to use today. The Godrej Menthol Mist is full of awesome lather which gives great blade glide and a darned strong menthol sensation with pretty good skincare. The Gatsby facial wash is really cold as well, and the 444 balm together with the Rubby Dubby Doo are enough to freeze a man's face off. I'm in love with the Rapiras - they're so sharp and smooth. ;) :D

    This set-up is not for anyone who's not able to tolerate intense menthol because even the Gatsby facial wash is really cold. However, it leaves the skin well-moisturized and very clean. The Glacial Obsidian soap makes your eyes tear and your nose run because the menthol fumes are so powerful, and the lather is rich, slick, and a pleasure to work with. The freezing effect is as cold as ice and the skincare is terrific. The 444 balm combined with the Rubby Dubby Doo are a great finish. ;) :D

    Erik Redd Lizabeth, baby, I'm comin' to join ya.

    I'm using C.O. Bigelow this week, In honor of Menthol Monday, I'll use the Osage Rub aftershave.

    P.S. - I think Crackstar is a masochist. That would be way too much menthol for the normal human.

    This set-up is only for a true menthol freak like myself because it's so intensely-cold. The Gatsby facial wash is as cold as, or even colder than mentholated creams and soaps I've tried. The Glacial Obsidian soap is capable of making your eyes tear and your nose run - its black licorice scent is nice, its lather is a pleasure to work with, and the menthol effect makes your face feel like it's coming off. The Anherb conditioner and the Rubby Dubby Doo are a great way to prolong the freeze. ;) :D

    When you do something, you do it right - this is a great set-up for Menthol Monday, even if I say so myself. The Gatsby facial wash is chock full of menthol, the Palmolive Menthol cream freezes awesomely, the 444 balm keeps the freeze going, and the Rubby Dubby Doo delivers a powerful icy blast of its own which feels so good. ;) :D

    Unless you can tolerate intense menthol, don't and I repeat DON'T use this set-up because every item is extremely cold. The Gatsby facial wash starts the ball rolling, the Glacial Wintergreen soap is so cold that it feels like shaving in a freezer, the 444 balm is also plenty icy, and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel out-freezes even the Rubby Dubby Doo. No way will I sweat tomorrow! ;) :D

    My friend, I would love to buy a puck of the Frost_byte soap just so I could compare it to the Glacial soaps that I have. They can also make your eyes tear big-time! :)
