Menthol Monday: The Mother of all Grand Freezes! Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole Super Speed/Gillette Platinum day 6 Stirling Glacial Spearmint SS Stirling Glacial Spearmint ASB MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray What a pity that this Glacial Spearmint soap and balm were discontinued because I think that they’re both so terrific. The scent is gorgeous - it filled the bathroom while I was lathering up, the lather was so rich, super slick, protective, and FRIGID, with such a soothing, moisturizing postshave feeling. The matching balm has that same delightful scent with lots of moisturizing as well as lots of menthol, and Fernando’s Frosted Spearmint aftershave has the SAME scent along with a killer cold menthol sensation. Three passes left me completely BBS and feeling great! Have a good week - be well and safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I considered Nakeed&Smooth before the majority here told me to order Sheep. (Doc Ezlovan himself said so).
I got a sample of Sheep based upon great reviews and I'm always eager to try new unscented soaps. The soap made an excellent, creamy, thick lather, but... I personally just could not get past the hint of a mutton/sheep smell in the soap base. My ideal for an unscented soap is very little smell from the base, or if there is some smell, it should be subtle or neutral. This is a definitely a personal preference matter, but I just did not like the smell of the sheep soap base. I am a great fan of the Sterling tallow soap base in "Naked & Smooth". That soap base has a soapy smell, but it is subtle and rather pleasant.
The great majority of Fine soap choices I see in here is Snake Bite. There are others, y'know. HOWEVUH.......it's your shave-enjoy it.
