First use of a strongly mentholated soap in Lemon Chill. I initially had some skin irritation when first applied, presumably due to menthol strength, but this disappeared quickly.
The chill was very refreshing, and I didn't have any issues with eye irritation/watering. The scent is predominantly citrus, with a steely menthol backbone.
Performance was great - 3 comfortable passes and a small clean up for a DFS+.
It will be interesting to see if the irritation is still there on next use.
DR Harris Traditional cologne was a great match and finished the shave beautifully.
I have lemon chill sitting in my shopping cart. Should I take the plunge?
Hopefully the irritation doesn't come back next time for you
