Todah, Akhi! Yes, the peppermint in the Stirling Eucalyptus Mint is mildly cooling. I have a salt/pepper mill with menthol crystals in it, that i could use to add to the lather. All Stirling aftershaves are available with menthol added as regular menthol or glacial.Awesome shave Akhi!
I heard that the Eucalyptus Mint soap, splash and balm are cooling - how do you find them?

Is the bottom of the tub visible yet? At least you got a nice shave even if you don't like the menthol in the Old Spice scent. Have a wonderful day, Akhi!Thursday morning: (meh)

The sooner I finish off this Cold Spices crap the happier I’ll be. I must say that I had a great shave, however.

Load Load heavy!! I can make that disappear in two shaves.
Todah Akhi! It does but I think I will save this for warm summer days. It's still cool in my area . The conditions are just right for the warm feeling I get with Tabac. It's been a couple of weeks so it will make an appearance on Friday.Awesome shave, Lantzman! I hope the TOBS Peppermint gave you a nice cooling affect too.

It has the circle of death. Hopefully for you only a few more shaves. Load extra heavy the next several shaves to kill it, Akhi.
