Thread: Changing Scents with the Seasons

I figure it has to be technique since it was perfect on the first pass, I just need to figure out how to keep it that way


Other good news, picked up some CO Bigelow Colonge Black Pepper cologne at Bath and Body works 50% off.. what a steal!

Glad you like it.

As far as lathering it goes, start with less water and slowly add more water until you reach the consistancy you are looking for. In my experience, there is a fine line with glycerine soaps between too sticky and falling apart. It just takes time to figure out where the line is.

My first post, and I was looking exactly for this topic. I've really gotten into seasonal scents, and that includes my shaving sets and scented candles.

With summer over, I've packed away all my Proraso, tea tree shampoo and conditioner, and eucalyptus body wash for the winter (I like to coordinate my shaving, shampoo, and body wash).

Now I have my Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving creams and wood-based body wash and shampoo for the winter. During fall, I'll use scents with stronger spice overtones (Mr. Taylors, Eton College, Shaving Shop), and in the dead of winter I'll shave with the Sandalwood scent. In spring, I'll use the Rose sent, and then pull the Proraso set back out after that and put the Taylor stuff away for the summer.

I really like CO Bigelow. Their body washes are great complements for my shaving sets. Elixir Green is great in summer when I shave with Proraso's crisp, greener scents, and Elixir White is great in the colder seasons when I shave with Taylor of Old Bond Street's woodier scents.
