I desperately need to finalize this, I've been incredibly busy the past few weeks...

Did you order an African Potato X3 as well?

[Thug]

So my feedback on the soaps I purchased.

The Vanilla x1 was ever so slightly stronger than the Meißner Gentle Menthol I have. A nice Menthol kick without being overpowering.

The African Potato x3 though was in your face. A strong Menthol but not eye-watering. Manageable but probably more suitable as a summer soap.

I did bloom both soaps prior to using them and they generated great lather with good protection.

Thanks for the info Thug!

It helps me a lot because this way I can compare it to the Kameelperd and Stirling Glacials when I get my Vanilla X3. I used the Kameelperd yesterday and it was cold to the point where it felt borderline painful during my second pass, but in a very nice way.

hmmm , adds that to the shopping list ..

Thanks for the feedback guys, luckily summer has arrived. (and left again) Anyone did any 'testing' to determine whether a warm scuttle or brush scuttle delivers a different experience?

I find it depneded on the nature of the soap. In some cases I found that the warm scuttle thinned out the lather (perhaps it made it dry faster), however when you applied to the face, and the temperature normalised, it tightened up again.

I finally received the two new soaps - the Vanilla X 3 and the African Potato X 3. Both of them smell really nice, I must say. The big decision is which one to try first!

Well, as I said I decided to go with with the hyper-mentholated African Potato soap this morning and it’s definitely killer cold. Honestly, I don’t know how Jaco was able to get the scent to be so brilliant with all that menthol in it. As soon as you open the container to sniff the soap you get bashed in the face with those powerful menthol fumes but then that lovely exotic, earthy scent comes through very clearly. I didn’t bloom the soap - in fact all I did was wet my brush, shake off some of the water, and then I swirled it on the puck for around 25 seconds and I had such rich, THICK lather which was easily enough for four, or even five passes. Seconds after I began lathering up the menthol sensation started hitting me and I felt like my face was freezing. The blade glide is so good and along with the freeze you get a terrific moisturizing feeling which feels so good both during and after a shave. Jaco, you’re a soap genius!

Glad you finally got some of the 'specials'! Not sure where to go next for you, maybe dry ice in a tub...maybe the -80 degrees freezing the cells on your face will have you think you have reached arctic Nirvana

Wait until you read the next report. It’s going to be on the Vanilla one!
