Menthol Shave Cream opinons

[BigWill]

I'm looking for opinions on menthol shave creams. These are the menthol shave creams that I know of:

Palmolive - I used this and like it very much
Gillette
Derby
Proraso - I use the Bigelow version, seems okay to me. Not heavy on the menthol side.
QCS Vostok - Oh yes, I like it!
Selby ?
Arko ? - The cult of Arko is strong.

Any others I should try? I do love the menthol.

Don't forget Godrej Menthol Mist! Available at quite a few B&M Indian grocery stores for pennies.

Malaspina makes a very nice cream and will menthol-it-up to meet your rqmts. She's a member here as well, if you had any questions.

FWIW, my sense is that using Proraso Pre and Post amps up the menthol sensation with whatever cream or soap, but I suppose this might be yet another YMMV things.

Just add Osage Rub to your cream and your will get a Menthol BLAST!

Ingram shave cream is another with good menthol cooling, and a nice barbershop smell.

Godrej Menthol Mist is great stuff. IMO, its more cooling than CO Bigelow or Omega, I like it alot. Dettol Cool is also quite nice but its menthol effect isn't as strong. The shave den also has a menthol cream called subzero thats quite chilly. If you are into menthol, make sure to pick up some Osage Rub after shave. Its the coldest I've used.

Edwin Jagger preshave cream...all the menthol you'll need. You can also add TSD M-bomb to any cream to give it a kick.

Just ordered M bomb I cannot wait to add it to my CF lime and RAzorock triple x

Anthony Logistics is a great menthol cream
Another one I tried (it is brushless) is Michael Klim's shaving Milk. Ridiculously huge hit of menthol.

Kent shaving cream...

Kent shaving cream...

I've always been curious about the Kent cream. Can you tell us more about it?

An update on my quest:

Arko Cool - Not mentholly (not sure that is a word) at all. Disappointment in the menthol. Loved the slickness. My L6 glided over my face.
Ingram - Mild menthol on the 2nd and 3rd lather. The menthol sneaks up on you. I liked Ingram more than Arko.
Godrej - On order from India. Will arrive sometime in Oct.

Gillette, Derby, Lea, and Selby yet to be ordered.

The clubhouse leader is QCS Vostok, with Palmolive Menthol 1 stroke back.

It's just a nice menthol shaving cream, soft in texture. Nothing special, probably made by Creighton. But on par with the 3 T's quality wise.

The Shave Den has creams that allow you to specify the menthol level when you order. They have a ton of different scents. I'm working through several of their AS samples at x1 menthol level (Iced Absinthe is wonderful
). I haven't tried their creams or soaps yet, but they get good reviews and I'm planning on a big purchase after this Xmas sabbatical is over.
