Palmolive Menthol (Italian) S/C

this shave was sooooo nice and cold--that Italian version of Palmolive Menthol smells great, and the lather is super-rich and thick, and the cooling sensation hits you as soon as you begin brushing it on your face. The Max a/shave is from Bulgaria, and also is a menthol bomb, with a great scent.
