In the summer it's all about the splash. Oh how lovely is a mentholated, alcohol based splash after a shave on a hot summers day?? Yum lol.

But then there are other liquids that just rock too - like my Gentleman's Refinery. It's a liquid that I can use any season! Just don't forget to shake it before use...

Oh brother... I guess that's all to say I haven't a preference between "runny" or "thicker." I just find some work better at different times of the year.
I understand what you're saying here. I love the Roger & Gallet L'Homme ASB especially in the heat as it has a bit of menthol and creates a cooling effect. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of menthol. But it really works in this balm like no other. It smooths the skin and moisturises.
