I have a few mentholated soaps but chose this one for today to make hitting 30 artisans a bit easier. This soap doesn't have the most menthol but it is definitely noticeable. I actually think this stuff contains pretty close to just the right amount for me. The scent isn't super strong, but what is there is good. The performance is what is lacking a bit for me. Of course, that could be the ice in the lather again this year. The software is related because the barber tin, ghost town barber being a barbershop, and the word barber in each name. Not to mention the aftershave has menthol in it too.
Challenge - A year ago Rod from Stirling posted a video comparing a super mild razor with his hyper aggressive razor. In the video he shaved half his face with the mild and half with the hyper aggressive and timed how long each side took to shave. I thought he was crazy when he did his first pass with the hyper aggressive ATG on his neck to start the shave. Fast-forward to this morning and if I'm being honest it wasn't bad at all. I did the first pass ATG both neck and face and then XTG with a couple small cleanup passes. I felt like I saved a little bit of time and didn't have any of the irritation I thought I would when all was said and done. 9/10 will try this challenge again later on my own time.
