nope. i e-mailed them and never got a reply. but considering how it was -2 degrees here last night, the menthol quest has been put on hold for a little while

If you sign up for the mailing list, they'll tell you when Yeti Snot is coming back in stock. It's so bracing, I put it on the back shelf until spring, at least.

One thing I found is that it is difficult to build a persistent lather. Others may be better lather builders than I am, however, so YMMV.

This is my favorite "all the Menthol I want" Menthol.

The Yeti Snot was a bridge too far...I'm glad that some like it and I promise not to buy it again so there is more for the rest of you...

You might want to pick up a Bottle of Osage Rub to finish that off...

Which reminds me it's Menthol Monday in the AM and I need to set out the Valobra (just a hint, kicked up with the Osage Rub finish...)

I am curious about this menthol soap
Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements: frostbyte
they have it at Italianbarber.com
I haven't heard much about it, but i'm on a bit of a hunt as well. Proraso is not nearly enough, maggards menthol orange is nothing. Strangely I have an old can of gillette menthol foamy... and it is VERY menthol... but other than that its terrible as aerosol canns usually are.
Also, i've heard cryogen has the tendancy to not be a good lathering soap. I don't really want to spend more than 15 bucks on this.

Try Yeti Snot in a shaving scuttle! The heat intensifies the menthol quite a bit and will make you eyes water to where you can't see and your nose run like a faucet........something I won't do again but you owe it to yourself to try it like that just one time, hell of an experience!

Yeti snot is sold out on their web site...
sounds good but thats an issue.
