A little Proraso experiment

    So, yesterday, I was looking at my half full bottle of Proraso ASB (yeah I don't go out enough) and I was thinking of ways to make it more cooling
    The ASB has a slight cooling senstaion due to the menthyl lactate, but I wanted more

    Usually, I apply the original pre-post on my wet face, let it absorb, and then add the ASB, for more cooling, but I prefer 1 step process.

    I didnt have the patience to go buy/order menthol crystals, so I scooped some Pre/Post, tossed it into the bottle of Proraso ASB (not easy to do, you'll need one of those thin plastic thingies), shook the bottle

    This morning, I shook the bottle again (it wasnt really needed, but I did anyway for good measure).

    ZOMG

    Very cooling, the combination of menthyl lactate, menthol and eucalyptus felt great great great

    The scent was improved too: light coconut (from the balm) with the minty scent of Pre-Post; pretty nice IMHO
