Good to know Edison. I love citrus scents in general, but it's always a challenge that most of their scents don't last long. It seems pineapple and lemons last a little longer than orange and limes, or is that my imagination?
You can actually call me Bill if you want. I agree with you on your longevity point. A while back, the founder of this thread got Rod to make a special run of an old scent (Glacial Lemony Orange). I have not heard of anyone who did not love it. I still have some, but it fades long before Satsuma, which is a pleasant alternative. In modern day "mask prison" my citrus stuff is getting more attention. Not all the scents I love are as 'mask friendly'.
A question for all of the menthol fans out there: do you find that the glacial soaps are suitable for everyday use, or are they more suited for once in a while? I am trying to get an idea of just how strong the menthol is, and my menthol experience is limited. Just for reference, I have used and quite enjoyed Proraso white, Proraso green, Stirling Orange Chill, and and Stirling Iced Pineapple. Thanks in advance for your help! gcc
i only use my lemon chill glacial on really hot days for the most part,but it is very strong menthol wise compared to proraso .the glacial is a step or 2 stronger than stirling mentholated..
I use Glacial and menthols regardless of the season. For me, they are more tied to the scent. Look at Stirling's Frost Drops, a few drops in any soap before you go in there with the brush. Make it as active or inactive as you wish.
I don't use them every day, but only because I have so many others that I also like. I'd have no problem using glacials every day if I didn't have all the other stuff.. Same here. I don't shave out on the porch, so the season doesn't much matter.
That's a good point. Someone here made the comment to me that on a day projected to be hot and humid, how "hot and humid" is it in the early morning when I shave? I think my answer to that was that "well, it will be eventually...need to get prepared".
I started the month off with a spate of Stoylins, then did others, but am on track for two or three more Stoylins soon. Course every other shavesoap day I use a Stoylin brush(I have 3).
