    So, I am getting a Glacial soap when they come out. I had sample of Obsidian and loved it, but that is my only experience with it. So the question is, which should I get?

    "All of them" is probably not the answer you were looking for but it's the correct answer.

    I'm going to be in the same boat! The only Glacial I've tried is Glacial Lemon Chill.

    I am hoping for something really out there. Arctic Electric Sheep, I,would maybe try the black cherry if he did that, but I have three Glacial and two Iced soaps going right now. I need something non citrusy, maybe non fruity in general.

    How about Conifers in the Arctic or Frozen Gatlinburg. I am a big fan of all of Stirling's pine/woodsy scents and have them all. I have also come to love their Citrus scents with MITA being my favorite. Who would have ever thought that you can turn sniffing shaving soap into a hobby?

    See, my thing there is that I like those type of scents year round, and don't use a lot of menthol in the winter. When I want stuff like that mentholated, I just bowl lather and M-Bomb it.

    I tried the Black Cherry bath soap. I love it, very cherry. My wife said it smells like the cheap boxes of handsoap it a wash fountain. I had to agree. She makes me I'll...

    As to glacials. I think Doc Lovan should whip up a Spiced Snow Cream and freeze you all in place.

    I'm serious about the scent @ezlovan.

    A non-mentholated version for us less manly men would be appreciated too.

    My daughter has had a couple of bars of the bath. She loves that, for sure.

    What is Spiced Snow Cream? Or what scent are you referring to?

    I would go for a glacial Pharoah's Dreamsicle. Love the scent and making it freeze would be great!

    I made it up. In my head it smells like Cream Soda... Lots of vanilla... With a dash of spices. Snow version is mentholated. Prolly shoulda stayed in my head. Carry on.

    You should grab a sample of Ben Franklin on your next order. Not a ton of vanilla, but it totally smells like [root beer, Dr. Pepper, cream soda]. I have heard comparisons to all of these. Toss in an almost Bay Rum scent, and you have it.

    @Norcalnewb can probably describe it better.

    I wish that I could adjoin myself to this solution fully, but that would interfere with another, higher goal: the ability to remain close to my wife. And I actually like my wife, so that brings me back to one selection (at first). If I pick a couple up over a month, she will still be my ride or die. More? Death may still factor in, but it would be my own.

    SWMBO does rule all. I have Eskimo Tuxedo and it's great. I have tried Glacial Obsidian and it also was great, smelled just like black licorice. I'm curious as to what Rod is releasing next week and will likely place an order

    Here's my choice of Stirling soap for tomorrow. It'll be Glacial Spearmint - now that's sooooooooooo nice and frigid! ;)

    Rod threw in a sample of BF body soap a couple years ago. Great marketing because now I buy his soap. I figure $5 is a cheaper, more quickly consumed thus less commitment kinda purchase to smellies.

    BF is a great scent. I put it more into the Barbershop kinda winter scents tho. Its on my list to add when weather cools. I could have totally misread BF. I'm looking forward to adding it to the line-up.

    I think I will give the Glacial Spearmint another run with aftershave this time. You guys have me wondering if I maybe whined too much about my eyes to enjoy the cold.

    Throw in island man, South Padre, and whatever special egg the Easter Bunny drops...

    I smell a $125 Wednesday coming...
