They're seasonal soaps, these Glacials. They come out around the end of April and they're sold until fall.
What's the coldest soap out there?

I'd love to try them! Best place in the UK to get them?
I don't know because I live in Canada.

Shaving Time carries them, but I see a lot of the menthol soaps are sold out. Margaritas in the Arctic is a fantastic soap, albeit with a little less menthol than the Glacial soaps.

I can thoroughly recommend Chiselled Face's 'Cryogen' if anyone feels brave. I bought mine from Maggard for around £17 shipped from the US.
Painfully cold (but in a good way) for all you menthol heads

Unfortunately they're now gone, but QCS Vostok makes me cry. That only comes out during heatwaves and Cumbria's not known for those.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Forgive my ignorance - what's Cumbria?

Where it rains often. So very, very often. I went to Windermere to visit my great aunty a few years back for my 'summer holiday' and it rained more than it did down here (Swansea - numerous 'winner' of Wettest city in Europe) so didn't feel like summer at all. Swimming in Lake Windermere in the rain was lovely though, especially first thing in the morning. Refreshing.

English as in the language?
if so, you write it better than a lot of the nationals I know... Thanks my friend. It's easier for me to write than to speak it. I still have a heavy Israeli accent and I have to think for words. Without bragging here are the languages I'm really fluent in:
Hebrew (my mother tongue)
French (I went to French schools)
Arabic (7 dialects with native fluency)
Russian (with native fluency)
Polish (fluently)
Ukrainian (fluently)
German (native fluency)
Greek (native fluency)
Yiddish (fluently)
Swahili (fluently)
Lingala (fluently)
Turkish (fluently)
I have a fair command of:
Hungarian
Romanian
Bulgarian
Serbian
I can read:
Amharic
Armenian
Farsi
Again, I don't say this to brag because I've met people who know even twice as many languages!

I lathered up once with B@M Arctique.
Menthol was so strong that I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Nor could I feel my face.
Some lather migrated south to a sensitive zone and forced yet more frozen saline from my suffering peepers.
Checked fingers for frostbite.
Not used soap since.
I do enjoy the matching Arctique aftershave on warm days - just keep well away from eyes.
