    I ordered GET yesterday... Along with the Blu. Also went ahead and ordered both South Padre and Island man splashes. This time with menthol!

    @ezlovan - When turned out to be the consensus on the Electric Sheep splash? At first I was kind of on the fence about it, but now I keep finding myself wanting it to show up.

    My brother-in-law went through hell when he tried the Obsidian. I warned him but he wouldn't listen to me. He couldn't even finish his first pass and I wanted to kick his butt for wasting all that precious lather! Lolllll

    Has anyone tried South Padre? How would you describe the scent.

    The official is
    Me, I smell something warm and slightly sweet kinda like how French Vanilla and butterscotch has that warm and rich sweetness but it is not exactly that. There is a floral note.

    In all, I really like it. I now wish I ordered a full tub. Same is true of Weekend in Malibu

    Here are some other soaps I'm thinking of:

    Grapefruit Menthol
    Gin and Tonic on the Rocks
    Electric Sheep (absolutely)
    Sharp Dressed Man (absolutely)
    Ozark Mountain (perhaps)
    Executive Man (perhaps)

    Only a maybe onEM??
    That is definitely one of my favorite scents. I love it so much, I got the soap and Balm in it.

    Still, looks like a great list.

    You have better control than I do.

    I now have 27 soaps in combinations of samples and full tubs of Stirling soap!

    The Glacial Lemon Chill shave today was a smashing success! I really loved the big menthol effect. It felt great! The shave was smooth and comfortable all the way.

    For me, I used Glacial Spearmint for my shave. Super cold and great minty scent. I also got the Wintergreen and am looking forward to seeing if I can tell the difference between them. From what I read about the scent of wintergreen, it is an artificial scent meant to replicate spearmint. Not sure if that is accurate or if they do smell different or not. Not being a gum chewer, I am not well versed on minty flavors other than from toothpaste. That choice, is always made by the wife and I think she just buys what's on sale.

    Rod and Amanda, I do thoroughly enjoy the Spearmint. And as usual, the lather is top shelf!
    Thanks for another great soap.

    I remember trying Wintergreen breath mints.....felt like I was consuming sections of an iceberg.

    I enjoyed the Glacial Wintergreen soap so much that I did three passes just to get some more menthol goodness on my face. The lather would easily have been enough for a fourth pass if I wanted.

    @PLAla Wasn't I right? I knew you'd love it! ;)

    @Fly2High The Spearmint and Wintergreen actually smell quite different. Both are really nice but in their own unique ways. :)

    For tomorrow it'll be one of these three:

    Glacial Spearmint
    Glacial Lemon Chill
    Frozen Tundra

    I'm just not sure yet.

    OK, Glacial Lemon Chill - decision is made. The Lemon Chill witch hazel to follow. I'm surprised at how it's not called Glacial Lemon Chill witch hazel because believe me, it's damned cold!

    Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

    The Glacial Lemon Chill soap and Lemon Chill witch hazel worked their menthol magic beautifully for me. What a great shave!

    Island Man is awesome. Something about all three spring releases, South Padre, Island Man and Weekend In Malibu exhibit a warm scent that I really enjoy.
