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?
Seriously?

Sources please or its just another floating comment.from the American "artisanal" soap reviews ive seen,
Its just a marketing gimmick at best or at worsts is simply a way to make people want to buy a soap that otherwise is unusable for anything but hand washing. 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.
A question if I may, have you tried any mentholated soaps (or indeed any mentholated shave products) at all?I don't personally understand the point of the menthol additives.

Eye watering is one thing, a nice refreshing feel is another entirely On a hot day, the cool, fresh sensation is quite pleasant. I use my own blend preshave oil (menthol and peppermint oil) when I want that sensation, or Proraso Green.I do get where he's coming from.
My first instance with strong, eye watering menthol was a little odd with the face feel. Was it cooling and numbers or irritation and harshness from the razor. It was of course the soap and splash but still and odd sensation.
There is cooling and freshness and then there is a burn feeling. It's what floats your boat?
Menthol is often used to increase scent strength as well, especially in aftershaves. Love me a bit of menthol!

I used to have Do Training on the Effects of Menthol with Health Care Professionals because its Popular with Heroin Users to Cool Down the Effects of Smoking Heroin on the Lungs..

Yeah..Its Popular with Some to Do that..The Problem is though that it Opens up the Capillaries of the Lungs & Does them More Harm..Moreover, Because it is a Mild Analgesic it Masks the Damage of the Capillaries being further Opened..If I'm reading that right, heroin smokers add menthol to the mix so to speak, in order to 'cool' their lungs down whilst smoking?

Still no sources over your last statement so pfftKerry knows my scent preferences and the reasons why I have them. I also gave him some really good information via pm. so pffftt
