    I live in Dallas, Texas, where it is about 100 degrees everyday for the next four months. Heck, it's even in the 90's in November!

    I need something cooling for the summer. Ideally, I need a great combo of preshave oil, soap, and aftershave that work well together and are icy.

    I like scents that are floral, natural, sweet, or fruit...and I prefer strong scents that last.

    Can anyone make some suggestions?

    Stirling lemon chill soap and face cream are very refreshing and give a good shave. I also enjoy Maggards orange menthol, but do not happen to have a matching lotion or AS. Or you could get a bottle of M-bomb from TSD and chill any soap or cream you favor. Good luck and chill out.

    +1 on Stirling's Glacial Lemon Chill. You can get the soap, aftershave splash, aftershave balm, and the Witch hazel and aloe in that scent and it is very cold.

    You should get this ---> http://www.theshavedenshop.com/the-shave-den-m-bomb-menthol-additive.html
    Here are some ways I've used it:
    4-5 drops in my palm with my shampoo
    2-3 drops in my palm with a PSO
    3-4 drops in my lather bowl with soap or cream of choice
    2-3 drops in my palm with WH or ASB

    Use as much as you want in whatever you want to get it as cold as you want.

    +2 on the Stirling glacial lemon chill. It's fantastic on a hot summer day.

    This is great advice. I am a huge menth head, and I couldn't imagine not having this stuff. I love my Stirling Glacials, and asstd. "iced" soaps, but M-Bomb lets you make all your normal stuff cold too.

    It also seems to last forever. Phenomenal product.

    Queen Charlotte's soaps, Icede Lime or Vostock. Go for the cream instead of the hard s go for the cream instead of the hard soap. Both are very cold and great performance.

    Definitely get M-Bomb, it allows you to adjust your menthol level and add it to anything. Any Stirling offering can be gotten in bar soap, shaving soap, witch hazel, after shave, etc. The Glacials are bone chilling cold. I'm in Phoenix, I feel your pain.

    Another one here for the Stirling Glacials. I think stirling has the "Eskimo Tuxedo" option right now as well, which is the high menthol version of sharp-dressed man. As for fragrances that last, it might be easier to buy something like the TSD M-bomb mentioned above, so that you can add a drop or two to your aftershaves.

    M-Bomb is awesome. A guy gets so addicted to face freeze, some days I even bomb my Glacials.

    For experienced advice on a whole mentholated lineup, we should also really be asking @crackstar . The man has a PhD in mentholated products. Check out the "menthol monday" portion of the shave of the day forum.

    I tend to lean towards peppermint and lime and some menthol. I have the lemon chill bath soap from stirling, which is quite nice, but it would be better if it were lime. Im thinking going with their "Margaritas in the artic"
    along with the m-bomb.


    Has anyone tried Stirling's iced pineapple or the tsd killer queen soap?

    Its title is quite clever, considerinh what it is. (Eskimo Tuxedo).

    I love iced pineapple. It smells like when you dry them in a dehydrator and they are still a little warm. It is a new favorite.
