I find it hard to describe - it appears to have peppermint in it and perhaps some wintergreen, but I'm not sure.
Oy vay - is my face ever frozen after this shave. The Cryogen soap, like the Glacials is not for the faint of heart because it's seriously-cold!

SOTD: Sunday. July 19 WSO "Bevel" SOC Boar (27/30) Feather AS-D2 Personna Med Prep (4) Creed Green Irish Tweed Have a great day!
So how is the Bevel compared to Jim's "Signature" shave soap. It was my understanding that Bevel was designed for straight razors in mind so the lather is thinner. Is the protection the same?
Guy, I was able to create a thick, luxurious lather with the Bevel as I can with the Signature. I did not notice a "thinner" lather. (Maybe because I lather my soaps like there's no tomorrow) The scent of the Bevel is barely discernible, sadly. Still, WSO soaps provide a slick, comfortable shave with exceptional post-shave results. I am trying to score a tin of Jim's Green Irish Tweed...
Thanks for the feedback. GIT was the first of Jim's soaps that I tried along with his GIT AS Balm and for whatever reason the soap though labeled as GIT to me was scentless. My daughter stated she picked up a light scent which was a surprise as I could pick up a nice mellow scent with the ASB. I traded the GIT soap for a backup of his Signature but have kept the ASB and pair it with Malaspina GIT. Good luck with your search. I never thought I would see a Bevel so you might get lucky!!
