Whatever gives a great shave and doesn't irritate your skin. Scent is irrelevant.

My winter soap will be:-

1. Mitchell's Wool Fat - this soap is #1 throughout the whole winter seasons you can't go wrong with the FAT!!
2. Haslinger Schafmilch Sheep Milk & Lanolin (very similar to MWF)
3. Arko Shaving Stick
4. Tabac
5. All the Stirling soaps I have in each rotation
6. Williams Mug Shaving Soap

That is what tickles my fancy. I repeat for the record. A soap that smells good and performs badly is a totally ripoff.

But what would I know - I haven't had my grumpy pills yet today.

Just checked and before the grumpy pills fully kick in, you didn't mention scents as a requirement in the opening post.

But in that case Lemon myrtle or Sandalwood.

So grumpy....

My fave winter soap at the moment is Shaver Heaven Oatmeal Stout. I have three tubs of it.
My winter faves are about to change though... something tells me it's going to be what is soon to be released by Australian Private Reserve. That soap is awesome!*


* Disclosure: I make the stuff (not the fragrance though)

Whats a winter?

But in that case Lemon myrtle or Sandalwood.

He means either one or the other, not both together, ever.

Tough to just name 5, but in no particular order:

Mike's Hungarian Lavender
Shaver Heaven Spiced Mahogany
Haslinger Schafmilch & Lanolin
Stirling Barbershop
B&M Rhapsody

I'm sure there are more that haven't immediately come to mind, and suspect that APR (once released) will force its way into the top 5.

so you mean sandlewood and lemon Myrtle isn't the top secret scent developed in the deepest darkest dungeon that is the APR research lab?

Kudos on first list I have seen posted in this thread that actually has Autumn/Winter fragrances in it

PROTIP: If it's mentholated and citrus based it's a warm weather fragrance.
