    I don't reach for it often but I do enjoy it. Cold water shaving intensifies the froze.

    I will be trying MITA tomorrow so is it stronger than that?

    The regular MITA is warm compared to the Glacial Spearmint. The Glacial MITA is exactly as strong as all the other Glacials.

    There's something incredibly soothing about the combination of sandalwood and vanilla. This is now one of my top 10 soap/aftershave combinations.

    Razor - GEM 1912 SE
    Blade - GEM by Personna
    Brush - Stirling 24mm Boar
    Soap - Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood
    Aftershave - Stirling Vanilla Sandalwood

    That Stirling Boar brush is a beastly performer and it just gets better with each use.

    Well, I've made my Stoylin choice for NB18 preparation. Announcement in early December when I make my other purchase(which will be from a different company).

    Just now I showered with my Sandalwood bath soap sample. My God, that scent is so beautiful - in fact I honestly think it's the nicest sandalwood I ever smelled. As soon as I could get my hands on some extra cash I'm going to definitely buy a couple of bars as well as the shaving soap version. From now on I don't want to shower with anything except Stirling bath soaps. I still have plenty of Glacial stuff, but with winter coming I have to think realistically. Another two scents I enjoy very much are the Electric Sheep and Barbershop. For cold weather they'd be great in the shower and also to shave with.

    Got a sample of Agar shaving soap today. Totally nailed it. Great scent, and not overdone like WK King of Oud.

    Freezing-cold and so enjoyable with the Glacial Spearmint soap and balm - what a shave!

    I think tomorrow I'm going to see what a single pass with the Barbershop does for me. Two passes have resulted in "weepers". It could be that the Nivea bodywash(prior to the Barbershop)is good enough to allow for just the single pass.

    Sandalwood, vanilla sandalwood, and barbershop are the backbone of my fall/winter lineup.

    Any of the 3 I listed above. Or go pumpkin spice and wow them when you show up smelling like you have a pumpkin pie in your pocket.
