I'll be putting my order in for this as soon as it's available. Glacial balm too.... And what else, hehe Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I feel bad because my Glacial MITA bowl is soon going to be empty. This morning its freeze sure came in handy because the weather here is sweltering. I can't wait to get a new bowl of this stuff - that's how much I love it. A friend of mine from the Greek wetshaving group Men's Only was asking me how much of a difference there is between this one and the regular version, so I told him that the Glacial version has around triple the amount of menthol, which is true. I don't know how Rod was able to keep the scent intact with so much more menthol added!
This is exactly what I wanted to hear. After reports that the menthol in Eskimo Tuxedo over powered the SDM scent, I was a little worried. Now I'm even more excited to get my hands on Glacial MITA! Still on the fence about Eskimo Tuxedo. But if it does go on sale like Rod mentioned, I'll get one for sure Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I'm hoping that Rod will keep producing the Eskimo Tuxedo under a different name. The bowl I'm using now smells very SDM even with the intense menthol notes and the new unstarted one I recently received has plenty of that SDM scent although I must say that when you open the container to sniff it the menthol bashes your face in!
Just wondering:: How do Gin and tonic and margs in the Arctic compare? I have good m and tonic but not quite sold on it. Thinking about getting mita but wanted to hear opinions first Thanks
Gin and Tonic OTR and MITA have around the same menthol effect which is very nice, but not to the point where you'd have tearing eyes and a runny nose like what the Glacial soaps might give you. Both of these soaps have wonderful, rich, slick lather and such moisturizing as well as very soothing skincare. Scent-wise, the MITA is a very tropical/citrusy type of scent. I only have the GTOTR, but I imagine that the regular version's scent would be pretty well the same, except that there's no menthol note to it. Hope this helps!
My initial impressions are extremely positive. It is an earthy, grassy scent. Too me, it is one of the more complex Stirling scents.
The Glacial Spearmint soap and balm froze me out to the max this morning. I opted for a much less intense menthol shave tomorrow, so it'll be Black Ice. I call that soap the "mini" or the "junior Obsidian" because it has less than a third of as much menthol. It's still cold, but it doesn't make you want to scream bloody murder like the Obsidian could! lolll
The Black Ice soap was a perfect option for this cooler morning. It's still strong enough to let you feel a very good menthol effect but without being killer-cold like the Glacial Obsidian.
Y'know, I foresee the possibility of my Sandpiper A.Sa(with menthol). lasting into the fall months, possibly later. That'd be fine with me!(. (Course I hope to use it a lot this summer).
For Wednesday morning it's gonna be................let's see...............something Stirling but I really don't know yet!
