I have gotten to the point I prefer shaving soap sticks and face lathering. I have Palmolive, Wilkinson Sword, Arko, Derby and La Toja. I think they all perform very well and could be happy using just these.
My question is does anyone make a mentholated stick, because I really love that menthol tingle.
I have also been keeping my eyes open for any vintage shaving sticks to pop up, but that is getting harder and harder to find. When I first started wet shaving years ago I had a vintage Colgate stick, but that has been long gone. Now all I have is a lot of old empty vintage tins, which are still pretty amazing.

I have several sticks. I will look through and see if any have menthol.

Now you need boots shave stick, as well as Ingram and a couple others. As many can attest to here, I'm on a shave stick kick!

I have read many of the different forum discussions on shave sticks and it was my understanding that the Boots shave sticks have been discontinued. Or at least I haven't seen them available anywhere. That is almost like sending me down the rabbit hole of trying to find vintage Williams or Colgate shave sticks, which I have been trying to do. I have used the Ingram cream in the past and it has a nice menthol kick along with Godrej, but neither of those makes shave sticks that I am aware of. I will keep browsing and see if any of the new artisan soaps makes a menthol shave stick.

I also like shaving sticks, and I have several of them. Unfortunately there are no menthol sticks that I know of. The Boots is good but nothing to go crazy for.

You can purchase stick containers on line, I think Maggards have them-----just shred any menthol soap you like and pack it in the tube, problem solved!!

I am far too lazy to grate a puck and make my own shave sticks. Besides I am not aware of many shave soaps that really have a menthol kick either. It has been creams and croaps that do it for me and I don't mind using those, but find I am looking for the best of both world's having my menthol and a shave stick. If all else fails I still have my sticks and Osage Rub for afterwards.

So I think I may have found my answer. I was on Stirling Soaps site looking for a glacial soap and came across Frost Drops. These weren't there on my last visit. I am going to order it and just add a few drops directly to the brush as I face lather. I will let everyone know how that works out. It might be the perfect fit for a menth lover.

I got to looking at my stash and remembered that I also had the Tabac shave stick as well. I am trying slowly to acquire all the shave sticks.
