I am not a fan of menthol, but this Koolada-23 stuff is sort of nice. With cold water rinses, it's still a bit much, but not as bad as menthol.
Fun fact, WS23, another synthetic cooling agent, was invented by Wilkinson Sword, thus the WS.
I went against the grain on my cheeks, and went a step further and hit my chin and mustache ATG too. It wasn't too bad!
There was a big thunderstorm rolling through while I was shaving, with lots of huge thunder claps. It made for an interesting mood in the bathroom, especially when the power went out.
Nice shave.
