    You can get it there, but it takes a lot. It also depends on how big a bowl of lather you make. That's fine with me, as lately I am finding I prefer my soaps a little less cold. It isn't the feel of it, but now that I am straight shaving exclusively, I like to feel my face a little more.

    There's still hope for my Glacial Lemon Chill bowl!

    I still have a refill puck of this same soap that I forgot I even had so what did I do? I removed what little was left and put it in the container that the puck is in. This way I get to keep this green container and I can use it as a lathering bowl for a few creams I have which seem to bowl-lather well. It was my wife who found this Lemon Chill puck!

    I see what you mean - a Glacial level freeze could be sort of tricky if you're using a straight razor.

    I don't know, I haven't cut myself from being numb or anything like that, but it definitely desensitizes, and just feels off to me with a straight; even more so when I use a Artist Club style shavette. The chill and iced level soaps are pleasantly cool enough.

    Is the Glacial MITA definitely happening this summer? Kinda holding out for that one if so. Between Eskimo Tuxedo, Iced Pineapple and the M-Bomb headed my way, I am covered in the meantime.

    Has anyone heard from or asked @ezlovan ? There has only ever been one batch of it to date, and I believe it was a request.

    It seems like I saw it mentioned as one of the ones coming out the next go-around, but I can't find the post. Maybe I dreamed it, but I hope not.

    I'm also hoping the Glacial MITA comes back. I love it so much.

    The original MITA is a modern classic in shave scent.

    Yes it is. From the first time I ever used it I loved it. The Glacial version of it has that exact same scent along with three times the amount of menthol. Leave it to Rod to create such a treasure!

    I froze myself to smithereens this morning with the Glacial Lemon Chill soap and witch hazel and tomorrow I'm gonna duplicate that freeze with the Glacial Wintergreen trio. The soap, aftershave balm, and the witch hazel are not only freezing, they smell so NICE!

    Jared, I forgot to mention that you should try the Frozen Tundra if you haven't already. It's not quite as intensely-cold as a Glacial soap so you wouldn't have to worry about it making your eyes tear and you'd still get a strong menthol effect. Its scent is a delight - it's got wintergreen and peppermint in it as well as some earthy, outdoorsy notes. I love it!

    I had a great shave with Stirling Grapefruit with menthol this morning. Really enjoyable! Top-notch lather and skin care as always!

    I really liked Frozen Tundra as well. Highly recommended
