    So this arrived today. I had already shaved so I will be trying it out tomorrow.

    Altho it's a lighter frag concentration than the original XXX (which I had and used up), it's a great performer. I'm sure you'll be happy with it. I have the second run of XXX (brought back by popular demand) in my line up still. Judging by the packaging, you have the third run.

    Edit: my comments are about the shave soap. I haven't used the splash.

    Although this is not expensive gear, the scent from the bottle is fantastic in my opinion. My wife's eyes lit up when she took a whiff from the bottle as well. Looking forward to trying it. This one has been talked up quite a bit so my expectations are high. I will post a review on the morrow!

    Where do you get it? Everywhere I've looked XXX is sold out.

    So I couldn't wait. I tried xxx tonight. It's a lot different than anything I have used before. Lather on the soap is great. No complaints at all about performance. I'm not a pro at deciphering scent but all I really smell is citrus and menthol from both products. I don't pick up any of the bottom notes. I've never used anything citrus before this. It's a really clean scent. I will definately need to use it a few more times to get a better sense of it. So far I like it but definitely not in love with it. I like the longer term smell of the aftershave better than the initial scent. This one could grow on me though, again, first time using anything citrus.

    I really like the aftershave. It isn't very strong, but it lasts long. I find that I'm the only one that smells it.

    The soap preforms very well and smells great. My only problem was that the soap burns my skin pretty badly. The last time I used it, there was no burning so we will see.

    Yeah I found the soap was intense. It caught me off guard. It was like getting hit in the face with a sack of lemons. I also forgot there was menthol in it so it was sensory overload lol. The soap didn't smell strong at all from the puck but when you lather it on your face it's quite strong. Nice jolt in the morning to wake you up.

    I don't think I would want the soap any stronger. I find it quite strong on the face

    A lot of folks on the forums like very heavily scented soaps. I do not, and think the trend towards lighter scents is a good thing. I will have to try the new XXX soap. Does it come in a puck or jar only?

    Yes, it's an Italian-style soft soap, so it comes in a plastic tub only.

    The Three X soap has menthol? I never knew that. I have the One X soap and aftershave and although menthol is listed as an ingredient with the soap I really can't detect any cooling from it. The matching aftershave is pleasantly-cooling but not freezing by any means. I absolutely LOVE the scent of both items! :)

    I had the original XXX and currently use the second run version and I never noticed any menthol. But, yes, there's supposedly some in there.

    I like the scent but after 3 passes I find the soap leaves a burning sensation on my skin.
