    I believe the same as now which are:

    1) Wintergreen
    2) Spearmint
    3) Lavender (my current favourite)
    4) Lemon Chill
    5) Obsidian
    6) Eskimo Tuxedo (haven't tried that one yet)

    Hope that helps! :)

    I tried the Kiss My Face Cool Mint this morning with the M Bomb. WOW!!!!!!!! With an almond-sized amount of cream in my mug and 3 drops of the M bomb, I lathered up with my brush and applied it. The result was an absolute frigid shave. To me, it felt even colder than the QCS Vostok soap and TSD Iced Subzero. I think I see another order for an M bomb in Joanna's future. :Animatedfrozensmily:

    All I can say is that the Glacial Lavender soap felt so frigid while I was lathering up and shaving. When I rinsed my face off with cold water it intensified the menthol effect greatly. The Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel made my face feel like a block of ice afterwards.

    I tried Proraso Green for the first time this week. It was my first menthol soap. I liked it very much. The cooling sensation was not overbearing and I found the lather to be quite a bit denser than the White.

    I'd love to pit this soap against one of my Glacials. I bet it would be a close match.

    Correct.
    Yes, there is such a thing as "too much menthol."

    I mentholated a small amount of Nivea aftershave balm. When I used it the first time.... the "chill" felt like a burn and i HAD to wash it off. hahaha I needed to dilute it much more.

    Yes. I wouldn't advise using menthol crystals in Osage Rub, for instance!
