The Obie Memorial First Tier Soaps and Creams Thread.

Well, if you ever want to know what it's like to Mace yourself in the face, check out Barrister and Mann's, Arctique shaving soap.

If you like menthol, and I mean really, really like menthol, this is your soap.

Shaved about an hour ago, sight just returning to my eyes, the involuntary weeping has subsided, and I can breathe again.

Wow!

Shiver me ferkin' timbers....this one goes to the "Bye-Bye" room forever.

I know the feeling. Menthol and I don't get along. That is when it's that close to my eyes. I got the Lemon Chill from Sterling and had to give it away to someone. Most folks like it.

Yup, nothing like too much of a good thing to ruin it for you.

Gentlemen,

Back from the hospital. By Jove, it's good to be home.

I tried a mentholated soap — or was it cream? — once a long time ago and had to wash my face and brush by the end of the first pass. OY! If I want cold skin, I'll stick my head in the freezer.

Welcome back Obie and have a quick recovery!

I’m the same way about menthol for the most part. A little like in Atinson’s/I Coloniali or SMN is OK, but I’ll pass on anything with more noticeable menthol.

Cheers, Steve

Welcome home Obie.
Have a quick recovery and take care of that bionic knee.
See you at Dave's.

Welcome home, Obie. I hope you had a few cute nurses taking care of you.

I can tolerate very light menthol, such as an aftershave with a slight amount of menthol, but have the same reaction as Phrank to soaps with menthol. I also don't care for the scent of menthol.

Gentlemen,
Thank you for the kind words. It is good to be back. Today's shave was quite painful, even though I sat down for part of the shave, but I needed it to lift my spirit. I had not shaved for five days or so. I will not be able to use the straight for a while, so the safety razor will do the job.

Thanks, Pete. Once healed, the bionic knee will make me float through the air.
I will try my best to make Dave's meetup.

Welcome home Obie. Get to feeling better. Surgery takes a little time to adjust. Get comfortable and rely upon your own skills to get back to your own self. Eat a lot of vegies. You'll be fine in no time. Praying for you bro.
