Maybe. Maybe not.. But you might be on to something @wayne mattisonIs the next few words P.G. Tips?
I see what you did thereCool
A menthol soap (or certainly my own) is designed to introduce a hyper cooling element to the shave. It's a cold, invigorating and thoroughly refreshing experience and great for warmer climbs or the three days of summer we have here in Blighty. If anything the introduction of menthol to a soap formula can often impact on the soaps ability to protect and so it's a tricky matter of balancing those two aspects out; coldness versus protection.I don't personally understand the point of the menthol additives.
hide a bad shave? from bad razor choice or bad razor control ? or to hide that the soap doesn't protect as it should?
Ive seen quite a few people who rave and moan about how wonderful a particular soap is once they ad menthol crystals to it, and suddenly what they called a "worthless mediocre hand soap" the previous year is now " the best shave in the world with no razor burn whatsoever once they ad a half cup of menthol crystals to a 4oz tub of soap.
