Ever heard of it? Where can I get this wonderful goodness (the mentholated bar soap of course)? Comments? Reviews? Thanks.
Bath & Body Works I believe still carries CO Bigalow Mentha soap. It's minty/menthol soap that's great IMHO. Somewhat hard, so maybe not good for really dry skin, but just fine for my oily self.
The bath and body one has a light scent and barely feels tingly at all on the skin. then again, how tingly do you want it. I like feeling like little cold feet are dancing on me.
Dr. Bronner has a peppermint soap , I think its supposed to be tingling but it felt like a cold burn . Also the San Fran based seller Nancy Boy , known widely among wetshavers, advertises a Invigorating liquid bath soap , the blurb for it sounds like what you want, I've never tried it though.
I have been using Noxzema skin cleanser the last few days. It really burns the eyelids so I try to stay away from them and certainly do not wish to use it elsewhere on the body... I can't imagine menthol body soap being a pleasant experience...
After a hard work-out on a hot day, it helps you cool off and feels great. The cooling/burning feeling is less on skin where you haven't just shaved, so it's not like mentholated aftershave on your whole body. As it cools the whole body, I don't think it would be pleasant on a cold day.
I got a sample of some Right Guard body wash that was quite "tingly". I backed it up with some Gold Bond powder and shivered for quite a bit!
Gold Bond is just the ticket after a nice warm/hot shower. I tried a cold water rinse after my shower a few months ago and it took my breath away, as I literally had a hard time breathing, too much of a shock to this Florida native. Weird thing is I love cold weather, just can't abide cold showers though.
dr bonner bar soap is a good one and lasts a long time as well. i've been using a bay rum bar but it's almost out. maybe i'll get back into bonner bars?
Funny, a friend just sent me a link to Chief's energizing face wash (http://www.chiefsformen.com/products/chiefs-energizing-face-wash) and that got me thinking, menthol/peppermint bar soap would be good to wake up in the morning. So I come into this forum section, and what's the post at the top...haha.
