Menthol on a warm day

I have found one more reason to pity the “cart’s and canned goo”-crowd… at least the part of them that uses no or just one aftershave they picked up at the mega-mart.

The reason? Krampert’s Finest 80 Below.

Few things feels better on a warm, humid and generally muggy morning than a splash of icy menthol… like sticking my face in the freezer!
