Best Shaving Creams for Winter
- Thread starter ridnovir
- Start date
I use them all, rain doesn't change my shave routine. It's nice here in San Jose
Musgo Real is a must have.
I thought you guys in San Jose only have one season called "Nice Weather"
OK, please educate me because to my knowledge you want to use a "system". I'm Newb so follow my logic here: Pre Shave has a scent..then you follow up with a shave cream which also has a scent, alum block and post shave which has a scent. So....if you use Proraso Green, you have the SAME SCENT throughout the process. If you're mixing and matching, don't you get a Goop Melange (for everyone who remembers the Odd Couple Jack Klugman's receipe) of scents emanating from your face.
See, to me if Proraso had a Red and Blue Pre/Post them I'd go with Red and Blue as a system.....the Green obviously having the scent in Pre/Post already. Does this make sense to anyone? Or am I just too linear in my thinking?????

I stay away from citrus soaps & creams in cold weather, the rest I use.
For colder weather I like Speick and TOBS Mr Taylors
Props to sandalwood or anything with a cologne scent. I love the TOBS St. James
Proraso Red

I like moisturizing creams like Kiss My Face, La Toja, Proraso Red, and any kind of warming or wood kind of scents: sandalwood, or even bay rum. Winter is citrus season for produce, so I like citrus scents like lime or lemon or orange in winter also. Musgo Real orange amber is a great winter scent. And Portuguese creams tend to have lanolin which is great for winter. i have a tube of Lavanda in rotation also.
For soaps, I like Pre De Provence 63, La Toja, and Speick year round.
