Okay guys, I am looking for any soaps or creams that have that strong menthol refreshing, cooling feeling to them. I have tried Proraso and Bigelow, and they are okay, but left me wanting more. I have been told that the old Noxema is fantastic, but no longer made. I have also been told that Ingram Blue is good.
Can y'all recommend any good ones to try?
i didn't know there was anything stronger than proraso.. i'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see what's recommended.
I love mama bear stuff it's great
CarrieM's "First Frost" is great stuff.
I'm not really big into the menthol feel, but I did pick up some Omega at a local pharmacy. It seems pretty strong to me. Cheep too!
+1 to mama bears awakenings. This stuff is pretty good. You could also pick up a few menthol crystals to add to your lather, but do so sparingly as they are strong.
I get most of my menthol kick from my aftershaves in the form of Osage Rub. Good stuff, super tingly and super cool.
I would check out CarrieM and AlRaz
its been a few years since i have tried it but i remember American Crew's shaving cream has a very noticable cooling/tingling effect.
Proraso has a good kick, but I prefer Santa Maria Novella Cream to it for overall performance, while maintaining a menthol kick.
Thanks guys, I will be giving some of these a try.
Have any of you ever tried the old Noxema shave cream? I am told there are some vendors who still get it from time to time.
