I picked up a tub at TJ Maxx for $10 and used it for the entire month of December (as a seasonal scent). No irritation whatsoever and I found the scent to be nice but not overpowering or strong.
I found a tub at a GREATLY reduced price at an Ulta store. Got it because I couldn't pass it up at the price. I love it. I am rationing it. I only use it in December because the scent smells so Christmasy.
Art of Shaving peppermint is a top-notch cream, great scent, super performance, lots of emollients.
Not really any menthol burn. Great any time of the year.
It's very nice and the menthol is not very strong. I kinda wish it was, but it's still a nice cream, like most AoS creams. Love finding them for $7 @ TJ Maxx.
@sarimento1 gave me a sample of this wonderful cream long ago. I am glad he did. Spectacular in every way in my opinion. I have gone through a couple tubs in the last few years.
I'm just about to finish a tub I got at Marshalls for $8. Excellent cream. Glad I got the chance to try it. I've always been put off by the price charged normally but 8 bucks is eminently doable. Managed to find one more at TJMaxx for $5.
