Could you please give me suggestions about soaps with mild cooling effect?

[Vincentchou]

Dear B&B gents,
I have tried Proraso green, Proraso white, and Stirling MITA.
Proraso white is good for me.
I can hardly open my eyes when shaving with Stirling MITA.
I think the strength of Proraso green's cooling is the ceiling for me.
Please give me some soaps with mild cooling effects.

I think adding some information about my favorite scent could be helpful.
I like bay rum scented stuffs a lot whicg are surely more suitable for cold days.
Maybe lavender or rose scented soaps are good in warm seansons.

Any forthcoming opinions are highly appreciated.

I would suggest getting some menthol and adding it to whatever soap you like and you're in control of how chilled it gets.

A great option in this category is Moon Soaps Astoria. It's a fresh aquatic type scent with evergreen/fir and the perfect amount of mild cooling. It makes for a very refreshing shave.

FURBO Blue. Get the kilo.

Done.

LEA Classic puck has VERY mild menthol and a versatile scent (sandalwood and oakmoss).

C.O. Bigelow. More of a cream than soap but the menthol and eucalyptus will definitely cool. Follow up with some Skin Bracer or Osage rub and your frosty.

Hi @guitarslinger,
Thanks for your input.
Do you mean "Furbo Vintage Blu"?

Besides the stink stick Arko also makes shaving creams in tubes. The Arko Hydrate shaving cream has a small amount of menthol added. They also carry a Cool, but it does not contain menthol.

Yes! Awesome soap. Smells like Floid Blue. Nice menthol without being painful or uncomfortable.

Moonsoaps Union has a slight menthol touch.

I can recommend Mike's Peppermint & Rosemary as a soap with a pleasant, but not overwhelming cooling effect.

ABBATE Y LA MANTIA «DON JOSE»
Excellent soap with an incredible aroma of a mixture of banana and coconut with the addition of a light mint aroma. These are truly incredible experiences!

Noble Otter Orbit has some cooling but not at the Stirling Glacial level. It's a eucalyptus and rose scented soap- very nice in the warmer months.

I put 5 or 6 drops of Osage Rub into my lathering bowl and whip up a menthol lather every morning. BTW, I use Arko pressed into a cup.

Aqua di Parma
Santa Maria Novella

Seconded for Aqua di Parma. It has a really nice, subtle menthol hit.

I havn't tried Santo Maria Novella.

I'm not a big fan of menthol soap, especially the sub-zero variety. I gave away my tube of Proraso Green after one use, and Proraso isn't super cool by any definition, still colder than I prefer.

What I do now, if I want a mild tingle, is apply some Stirling menthol pre-shave soap (just rub the bar onto my damp face and lather with my fingertips) and then face lather with my soap of the day.

It's simple and I don't have to futz around with menthol drops or crystals. If I want just a mild menthol sensation I'll rinse some of it off before I lather with my shave soap.

Stirling Eucalyptus Mint. It’s really good and nicely balanced. No added menthol, just the peppermint oil, gives it just the right touch.

I agree with this one. The Stirling Eucalyptus Mint gives a nice cool without the menthol burn/sting.

You could just use your bay rum and add some menthol to the aftershave. The PAA Frost Byte soap is mentholated and when I do a cold rinse immediately after shaving it is chilling.
