What's new

Surprisingly sophisticated: AXE Shock shower gel.

Gentlemen,

I know what you're thinking: what the hell? This is AXE he's talking about. There's nothing sophisticated about AXE. But I've been using this stuff for months now, and I'll tell you why I love it:

1.) The menthol kick.

This is as cold as regular shower gels get - which means it isn't up there with some artisan peppermint / menthol soaps, but it's definitely cool enough to give you the chills.

2.) The scent.

Ususally the worst part of AXE products, but this time they really nailed it. It's a subtle, green spearmint / menthol fragrance that smells much more distinguished than you'd expect. I keep thinking about summer hay in ice-cold water - sounds weird, but how I'd describe the scent.

3.) The Proraso / Osage Rub compatibility.

I always use this stuff when going for the full menthol shave, and it turns out to be a perfect match.

You should try it!
 
Almost out of my Anthony Eucalyptus and Mint, so you've sold me! I'll pick some up and give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

Gf
 
Gonna bump this just to say Target has this in the trial size for 79 cents. Smells pretty good, giving it a test run tomorrow
