@Fly2High the newest container of the Glacial Eskimo Tuxedo has a huge menthol note - it bashes my face in every time I sniff it but I still get that lovely SDM scent. I have a brand-new unstarted one from last year which has somewhat more SDM to it. The other Glacials I bought have their full scents along with the menthol.
Awesome. I didn't notice the menthol rating before. Is the MITA pretty much citrus? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
I also wanted to say that the Electric Sheep soap delivered so well on the rich lather and it's scent to me, is fantastic. I never had a mutton tallow soap until now and it leaves a very relaxed, soothing post-shave feeling.
I know I keep bugging you about this, but I'm hoping this is a "hint" that Glacial MITA is coming soon My finger is ready to push the buy button haha! Along with others of course hehe. Hope you have fun at the meet up. Sure wish I could go, but it's to far NorCal. Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
I swear that it's a case of YMMV because these are my findings with the following menthol soaps: Black Ice: Menthol Level--6.5/10 A pretty cold sensation. Margaritas in the Arctic: Menthol Level--7.5/10 This is the regular version - the Glacial MITA is easily a 10. Frozen Tundra: Menthol Level--8/10 This seems to me like Rod's second-coldest soap after the Glacials. Not for the faint-hearted! I plan to get the Gin & Tonics on the Rocks and the Grapefruit Menthol soon.
The scent of the grapefruit soap is really intriguing. It has more depth than just straight grapefruit. I really enjoy smelling it. Haven't shaved with it yet but have certainly enjoyed the scent so far.
If (I will) I buy it I'll be able to compare it to the Grapefruit Menthol soap from OSP. That one is also very nice although I can't really say it smells like real grapefruit. It seems more of an orange scent, strangely enough!
To me MITA is lime followed by lemon scented in strength. A good strong scent above the menthol. Not sure I notice more than that but my nose is lousy so that could be part of the issue.
I selected the Frozen Tundra for my shave tomorrow morning. Its scent drives me nuts! (so do the lather and menthol effect!)
I think I am going to wait on the Glacial MITA. Frozen Tundra sounds amazing too. I used my reward towards Island Man, and used the savings to buy some M-Bomb from the TSD store. Now I CAN have menthol Island Man. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
Today's shave with the Frozen Tundra soap was such an ice-cold pleasure. Three passes were enough for me to get BBS - the Glacial Unscented balm felt really frigid and the Glacial Wintergreen witch hazel felt borderline-painful. Is that stuff COLD! For tomorrow, either Sharp Dressed Man or Glacial Spearmint!
I tried Eskimo Tuxedo today. The scent is really just menthol, to me anyway. It bears little resemblance of SDM. I laughed at how much lather I generated. It was flying off at one point. It super cold. I did 4 passes just to enjoy it and use up summa dat lather! Great soap, as usual. I just wish it smelled more like SDM. Unfortunately with so many great heavily scented options in my den, this one will be relegated to the bottom of the stack. *think Weezy from Toy Story
It also gets the Cracky Wacky Ticky Tacky Seal of Approval. To all you fans of Electric Sheep I say "Enjoy!"
It is the mutton tallow. The rest is just olfactory. Or sumpin line that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
