After reading a previous post asking about Yeti Snot I decided I would look into it. I was intrigued by the name and thought it would be funny to try. I ordered that as well as the Columbian Necktie which has a citrus scent. The two 5oz pucks with shipping were 14$. I even asked for an extra sticker for each to put on the containers and he gave them to me in the envelope.
Let me start by saying that the only mentholated soap I've tried was Proraso Green cream which I thought had a somewhat minty smell but not much in the way of making my skin tingle. That's perfect for me as I don't really need my skin tingling. I ordered some valobra menthol on clearance but haven't tried it yet. I had a feeling Yeti Snot was going to be too cold for me but figured I'd try it for the sheer novelty.
The puck came in a simple package.
I understand this to be a melt-and-pour soap. The puck was a bit translucent which for some reason added to the novelty for me.
WOW. My eyes started watering when I began loading my brush. The puck wouldn't fit in my apothecary mug and my Grundtl containers haven't arrived yet so I loaded from the puck while holding it in my hand. My hand was tingling after a few seconds. I loaded my brush(30mm TGN Finest) for maybe 10 seconds and then went to the mug. By this time my eyes were watering. I swirled for almost a minute before I began lathering my face.
I have to be honest, the lather was a bit airy and thin but it's very possible I was just rushing things. Although the shave was probably a bit rushed it wasn't too bad. For some reason I lathered up for a second pass and holy cold batman. I rushed through a second pass and called it quits. I'm a pansy and apparently this stuff is too cold for me. If menthol is something you like then this is the stuff for you. I will say the smell reminded me of Vick's menthol rub.
I'm still a bit of an amateur when it comes to soaps so I don't know how to rate it for cushion and all those other things but overall I think it was a decent soap just too cold for me. I'll probably throw the puck in as a freebie on my next B/S/T posting.

. The lather was not super thick, but it was super slick and very protective. Second pass only got me colder. I must say I love all of the Shaving Yeti products and if the Snot is not for you, try the others because the shaves and the scents are awesome. Overall while I am admittedly new, I would recommend if for nothing more than novelty.
