Paul, you are a lucky man. You have a lot of SDM. I envy you. I only have a sample of SDM but love the scent (its a Creed dupe so naturally...) Andrew, I'm pretty sure you are right but that will be one cold shave for Paul - the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo Soap followed with the Glacial SDM aftershave...brrrrr.
I need to get a face freeze on this week. Might go with Glacial black cherry soap, Glacial Lemon Chill PSB, and Glacial Satsuma AS and make it a frozen fruit salad. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
John, I'm sure there'll be plenty of both when the humidity hits But I'll try a couple shaves before that. I'd better be careful peeling the plastic covering off the soap-don't want to lose any soap in the prEAUcess.
You get used to it. First time I tried a glacial my eyes wouldn't stop watering. Now I'm addicted. Sent from my Galaxy using Tapatalk
It's not ready yet. I won't send out the email announcement until I have the full production run ready and on the website. I'm actually getting ready to go have my 2nd shave with it, and then it's going off to New York to a customer so he can test it out.
Another question, which probably falls in the "Yes of course" category, but I'll ask it. For my first use of the Glacial S-kimo Tuxedo, should the water I dunk it in before rinsing it(the water)out of the mug be cold?
I'm sure I wasn't clear. Let me try it this wayt When I had Williams, I would put the soap in the mug, then wet the soap with warm/hot water while showering, then let the water out of the mug. I figured I could then take a brush to the Williams and proceed with the shave. Obviously the Stoylin soap looks different and has the colder temperature. After unwrapping the plastic from the Stoylin, do I need to moisten it with what I would figure to be cold water to protect the cold temperature of the soap, then let the water out and take the brush to it(as with the Williams)?OR...do I just moisten the brush with cold water and take it right to the soap? The soap size is 4.5, thus not a normal size inside a puck.
The cold comes from menthol in the soap. So hot or cold water doesn't matter. I like to use a Mentholated soap in a hot scuttle. Warm lather that makes your face feel cold is an interesting sensation!
I think you're overthinking it. If what you do with Williams works for you, then it will work with Stirling too. The"cold" from the menthol isn't really cold. It just tricks your nerve endings. It won't fool a thermometer.
