I fell in love with menthol soaps years ago when I started using Williams Menthol. I was so disappointed when it was discontinued. I was so happy to find B&B last year, and learn that there were more soaps & creams available than I could find at my local grocery/drug/super store. I found menthol soaps (and creams) again! (Proraso, SCS Blue Line, Godrej Menthol Mist, etc...)

As I keep exploring and learning about this wonderful hobby of ours, I find my tastes go through stages. Right now, I'm really loving shave sticks - Palmolve, Colgate, La Toja, Speick, Erasmic, etc. But, none are menthol! :scared:

I haven't found or seen a reference to mentholated sticks. Are there none available, or am I just being blind?

Thanks! :thumbup1:

The only mentholated shave sticks that I'm aware of are Mama Bear's variety of them here (http://mamabearssoaps.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=2fee27b43b5c2e9446a396322ef59b5b)

I have the Rosemary Mint and it may not be as minty as Godrej but it still has a pretty good kick. I would imagine the Awakenings would be pretty cold.

I'm interested to see if there are others.

Mama Bear also has empty shave stick containers in two sizes on this page:

I would imagine you could grate a QCS Vostok puck (or something else) and make your own.

That was my first thought, too. Don't get me wrong - I love Mama Bear soaps - in the tubs. I just can't seem to get enough soap onto my wet face from her sticks. I'd prefer loading my brush on one of her pucks, then face lathering. Perhaps I should give her sticks another try. (I know I have one or two hiding somewhere in the den. :001_smile)

Ah - now there's another idea for me to try. Thanks! :thumbup1:
