Best Summer Shave Combos
- Thread starter acesinkc

In the summer, I tend to use more soaps, creams, and aftershaves containing menthol. However, if I still use my more "winter" scented products as well.
Margaritas in the Arctic from Stirling, scent, performance, price....spectacular. Perfect amount of menthol. The matching everything they have makes it even better, I like the MITA witch hazel too
Non menthol choices, Blenheim Bouquet from Pen's is a favorite, Neumann Signature 1907 is a summer ish scent and cream is ridiculously underrated, Piacenza, Lime and Sandpiper from Stirling are great summer scents.

CRSW limenthol, arctica and citrus = full summer of love
Florida Water is an essential summer time aftershave for me. I like the Bay Rum scents, lots of citrus and menthol products.
I've been hearing a lot of people mentioning Florida Water and Lucky Tiger, two that I don't have already. Can someone describe each scent so I can decide if they are for me? My current faves are Fine American Blend, Aqua Velva Ice Blue, Pinaud Lime Sec and my all time fave is Pinaud Clubman.
I can't speak for Florida water as I've never tried it but if your referring to lucky tiger vanishing cream I can. It is like a tub of paste and a little goes a long way so one container should last years. As far as smell goes it's a little minty with a menthol kick but the smell fades fast so if you wanna put on after shave after which is what I do it's not a problem. I shaved after I umpired a game last week and then rubbed this all over my whole face and whoa! Awesome! If your an AV fan this stuff mixes great with it and in fact I mixed up a bottle of the two 50/50 and came up with my own balm which is fantastic.
Hot, humid summer night. Late night run. Quick outdoor shower to get the dirt and sweat off before jumping in the pool. Gentle stretch for a half hour or so, float on my back for a bit, looking up at the stars, breathing through my eyes as Nuke LaLoosh might say. Then a warm shower, and a shave with Ingram or Italian Palmolive menthol cream. Towel off, a small splash of witch hazel, then Osage all over my scalp, face, and neck (and I have a full head of hair). A little Barbasol Brisk for the scent, and then sprawl out on the bed under the gentle spin of the ceiling fan.
Lucky Tiger AS splash is intensely citrus: Orange, lemon, grapefruit. Some floral notes compliment the citrus. It's an absolute blast of refreshing and invigorating scents. Unfortunately the scent disappears in about 30 seconds. I mean utterly disappears with no trace. But there's a ton of good stuff in there for your skin, and it's very soothing after a shave.
Thanks. That was what I was looking for. Sounds like I'm going to have to try it. How about Florida Water?
I would definitely recommend trying the LT.
I haven't tried Florida Water yet. It's on the list, though.
Proraso green is a nice for a bit of menthol. I'll get another menthol soap soon.
I like the aqua velva ice blue and like it.
At night if I go out I wear an actual cologne and just use witch hazel and a balm or something.

Orange and clove, like a pomander.
Orange and clove. Hmmmm. I may have to get some. It certainly is cheap enough.
Today I combined Haslinger's sage with Proraso green AS: ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC on a warm AM!
I think the SV 70th I just received will do great for summer.
Proraso white, then Fine Italian Citrus or Lime Bay Rum....with a bit of menthol added.
Still trying to decide if Clubman Musk is a summer scent or not.
