Opressively hot and sticky today. A beautiful shave with all menthol products, and I've been keeping my aftershaves in the mini-fridge we have for an extra cold blast. A lovely night shave and I'm completely relaxed.
This thread got me curious, so I looked up "menthol" on Wikipedia. It's extracted from oils like that from peppermint, and it stimulates the cold-receptors in skin.
I live in the Phoenix, AZ. area and after reading this entire thread, I now feel like an idiot (joking) for not trying more menthol shaving products. This heat drives me nuts and I’ve been looking for products to cool me down.
