    Glacial soaps contain a high level of menthol. Chill or Iced soaps have a medium level of menthol and regular soaps have no menthol. Besides the methol the soap base is the same.

    And an update on that plan...I'll be using the Unscented Friday, with the hopes that the soap scent will still come through. If not, I do have backup(which won't be Stoylin).

    I got that "tingle" with the Spice aftershave-lasted about a half-hour and has now settled down. The aftershave will finish long before the soap, but how many times have I said THAT in here....1....2...47??

    Posting well after this shave, but better late than never.

    Followed up my Variant reacquaintance shave with a similar using the newest addition to the Max Headroom Shave Gear collection. The featured hardware is the popular Gillette Slim Adjustable I won in the Raffle as generously donated by @Tommynick. Thank you Tommy.

    Software by Stirling, and from The Max Headroom List of Most Glorious Stanks, Island Man.

    Fluffed up an easy lather with the collapsible paddle bowl and went to the face at the prescribed setting of 9 with a new Personna Blue.

    Made the pattern adjustments dictated on my last shave and walked away happy.

    This is my first shave with a Gillette Adjustable TTO. I find it easily conforms to 'ride the cap' training for great cutting but it left me missing the blade feel and audible feedback offered by the Variant. For me it is not an 'either/or', it is just yes.

    Guess I'm such an idiot couldn't figure out how to post a screenshot, but here's some Stirling I ordered today up in Canada (whoopsie, might've went overboard a little hehe):

    Soap samples:
    MITA
    Orange Chill
    Stirling Blu
    Stirling Noir
    Stirling Gentleman

    3 oz Shave Soap:
    Tsuka
    Stirling Green

    2 oz A/S Splash:
    Tsuka

    100 ml A/S Splash:
    Ozark Mountain
    Baker Street
    Arkadia

    50 ml EDT
    :
    Sandpiper
    Pharoah's Dreamsicle
    Island Man
    EMP

    Plus they owed me an unscented Menthol Post Shave Balm from the last order. Feeling pretty good about it. At least now I'll have a little more closely matched aftershaves or EDT's to the soaps

    Nice haul. Excellent choices. I need to get me some tsuka and try it. Everybody is so ranting about that soap/scent.

    Paul, order some samples of the Lemon Chill, and the Lime SS if you don't have it all ready. I cut the samples in half and combine them side by side in my Old Spice mug. I layer the samples two deep so both samples are used. There is nothing better than super mentholated lemon/lime shaving lather.

    Hi Clayton, I'm not as creative as you in that sense, but you can be sure I'll be comfortable with my shave gear for the upcoming summer.

    Andrew, I shrunk my print again....you helped me get it back to normal size before....Control, Alt, and I forgot the last part. What is it again?

    Was it just the font, or is everything smaller? If everything is smaller, you can hit 'ctrl' and '+' to make everything bigger (keep hitting it to make it as big as you want). In case you go too large, 'ctrl' and '-' will decrease the size.
