CBL ghost dragon blood, immune from cold?

Today I used a sample of Dragon Blood Ghost. The soap is great. To be honest I get more impressed each time I use CBL soap. It loads easily, is slick (so much so that the brush gets hard to hold) and the scent is strong (I still think that Dragon Blood smells like Bottle Cap candy) but I dont get much chilling effect from it. Maybe I'm immune from the cold since I live close to the Artic circle.

NurseDave had a similar experience. He is sensitive to regular menthol but got very little from the ghost cooling agent.
Did I mark that one SUPER ghost? If so, I suspect it’s an issue of poorly disbursed cooling agent.
 
My Ghost Lime is much more cooling than my Ghost Dragons Blood. The cooling is there in both just way more prevalent in the Lime.

Yes it was marked Super. I have tried Stirlings Margaritas in the Artic and I don't feel anything there also. Like I said maybe living up here in Maine has made me immune.

Have never understood the appeal of soaps that chill the face. Not my cup of tea.

I never did either until I tried Summer Storm, It has a bit of a menthol kick to it. Not as much in the soap, but more in the AS. On a hot day after working in front of the forge coming in and taking a nice cool shower, good shave and slapping a bit of that on makes a very pleasant evening.
