John I just got the regular Sandpiper on a PIF. (the aftershave). We'll see if the Sandpiper soap gets chosen as a 2019 Stoylin Tony Awards nomination. .
I used my Iced Pineapple sample again today. Really nice refreshing scent but still very little cold feeling. Same great Stirling performance though. I don't know if I just got a dud or if I need to move up to a glacial. A little nervous but the Tuxedo sounds interesting.
You might need to dig a little deeper in the sample, or maybe the thinly sliced sample bleeds off the menthol through the wrapper as compared to a sealed tub. Just wild speculation on my part. The Menthol soaps don’t have nearly the punch that Glacials do however (except for frozen Tundra), but you can help the soap with a colder water shave rather than the traditional warm water approach. Then you’re not forcing the soap to overpower the warmth of the water. It’s worth a try IMO.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will give both a shot. It's funny, I was wondering about the same thing with the wrapper and soap scent bleedoff.
I still have a lot of the Glacial Wintergreen to go, but I've begun to think that as great as it is as a summertime soap, it's become rather "boring", too. I'll keep going with it for a while longer, but it really doesn't have much of a fragrance to it-or should I say, one that is "appealing". When the humidity ends here(for this summer), I do think I'll have a decision to make. I'm beginning to peak at other Glacials, but certainly Wintergreen does its job as a face-comforter in these humid months. I'd prefer one that has a decent to attractive fragrance, though.
I'm not sure I could answer that. When I looked, Razorock had like 20 soaps they called Italian. Tuscany has a lasting scent that reminds me a little of Clubman. Starts off sweeter, maybe fruity. Sometimes it's a little hard to remember when I'm on the next Glorious Stank, which today is Sharp Dressed Man....... Zz Top!
I’ve used Iced Pineapple for two weeks now, and I’m wondering if a sort of tolerance grows to menthol. It was incredibly cold to start, but now seems mildly cool, and has since about my third shave. Maybe that’s the cause? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Tonight’s shave was Iced Coffee. I’ve been drinking iced coffee, so it made sense. I’d been saving it for the summer heat, but it’s warm scent made me pack it away again until fall. It probably wouldn’t be bad during the summer if I didn’t have so many “better” summer scents to enjoy.
Glacial MITA and Lemony Orange are my top two Glacials. Lemon Chill has slipped to a distant third, and that’s saying something!
I have regular MITA, glacial lemon chill. And glacial lemony orange. For me I like. Lemon chill Lemony orange MITA But who cares. They are all amazing.
Used the electric sheep again this morning, one last time for a while. Sunday will be lemony orange, at last! Not looking forward to the 30 hour trip home, but I'm very, very ready to be home.
I actually love the scent of the Wintergreen. My wife hates it, but that's besides the point. There are perhaps four or five scents I love that she also loves - not more.
