Mitchell's Wool Fat.......Yep I love it so much because the post shave feels FANTASTIC throughout the winter season it keep my skin moist so it doesn't dry out too soon, and when you finished shaving with MWF apply Thayers Witch Hazel 'Rose Petal' Aloe Vera Alcohol Free Toner after shaving this will give you extra double moisturising this will make your skin BLOOM!!! like magic ;)
Trust me :cool: because I have seen the light ;)

I'll know when winter comes back around, but for now it would be TOBS Ceaderwood.

Really nice, warm vetiver scent and great lather.

MDC whipped up with warm water,, summer is MDC with cold water Tc
Mine never changes regardless of the season: Mystic Water :)
I must admit that I have never understood the need for a different shaving cream / soap for different seasons. Is there a coherent reason that I'm missing?
Regardless of season, CF Lime is my favorite shaving cream/soap...but not by much. I also enjoy my XPEC, Tabac, Speick, and MWF. I try to rotate through them all equally just like my razors.
Well, I don't care for a full on menthol shave before going ice fishing, but it sure feels good on a hot summer day.[emoji4]Quote:

Mystic Water "Bergamot, Cedarwood & Juniper" is good in the winter months, not bad in warmer months too.
I think the different soap for winter philosophy comes from those that live in cold climates. I too am from the US southeast, and my skin needs don't really change for winter. Unlike South Carolina where there is moisture in the air year round, it can get very dry in northern areas during winter.Quote:

This doesn't mean that I don't use these soaps in the winter but I definitely use them less often.
Outback's point is a good one. I use Margaritas in the Arctic and Snake Bite regardless of season but I like them even more after spending the day working up a sweat. Considering the fact that I almost exclusively go with a cold water shave I will assume that I'm an outlier on using mentholated soaps regardless of season.
