    I have been wet shaving my whole life but have never used menthol anything.
    Heres my question, is Aqua Velva ice blue menthol?

    Thank you ! Now I can participate in MENTHOL MONDAYS! WOO HOO !!
    No, seriously, menthol never appealed to me but I love AV ice blue and have for some time.
    Can you tell me about intensity? How does AV ice blue stack up to some others?

    I love AV ice blue! I don't find the menthol to be too extreme. Some of my favorite menthol aftershaves that give a really nice chill are Barbasol Brisk and Osage Rub. The menthol in the Barbasol is quite a bit stronger than AV, but the Osage Rub is the strongest I have tried. That stuff will really freeze your face!

    I didnt realize I liked the menthol until tonight (it never occoured to me that AV ice blue was menthol)
    Where do you find your Barbasol?

    You gotta get some TSD M Bomb. Then you can mentholate anything!

    Some ways I use it:
    4-5 drops in my palm with my shampoo
    3-4 drops in my lather bowl
    2-3 drops in my palm with any aftershave or balm

    Make everything as cool as you want!

    +1 on TSD M-Bomb. You can control the freeze. Plus it helps support the site.

    Most of the "Dollar" stores carry the Barbasol Brisk.

    I might also suggest adding Krampert's Frostbite AS to your list. Another very nice menthol Stirling soap that I like a LOT is Margaritas in the Arctic.

    Barbon AS also has a nice menthol balance and is very inexpensive.

    For some reason menhol never appealed to me but I have allways enjoyed my AV ice blue. Now knowing it was menthol the whole time changes EVERYTHING!
