What is your Summer/Winter Rotation?

[StubbleShaver]

Most of us use diffrent creams/soaps in diffrent seaons. To simplify that a little more, what are you summer creams and what are you winter creams/soaps? Here are mine:

Summer
TOBS Avocado
TOBS Lavender
TOBS Eton College
Ingram Tube (Menthol)
Supermax Tube (Menthol)
Boots Cool Cologne (Menthol)
Arko Shave Stick
Cella Italian Soft Soap


Winter
TOBS Shave Shop
TOBS Mr Taylors
Bluebeards Revenge Shave Cream
Palmolive Tube
Kent Lxury Shave Soap
Tabac Shave Soap
Boots Freshwood Soap
Erasmic Supreme Shave Stick

I use the same products year round. If I like it, I like it, and the weather just doesn't seem to matter. I don't understand why so many shavers change in the winter/summer. My go-to year round seems to be Tabac and Floid Vigoroso.

Summer: AOS Rose SC (while it lasts, discontinued), Klar Seifen, La Toja Sensitive SC, Tabac Shave Soap, QCS Cedarwood-Lemongrass

Winter: Tabac Shave Soap, Tabac SC, Turkish Old Spice SC (while it lasts, discontinued), QCS Cordovan, La Toja Regular SC, Palmolive Stick

Spur of the moment rotation. Whatever catches my fancy, usually the morning of the shave. I do prefer soaps and creams with less scent during the summer but other then that there's so specific winter or summer rotation.

 

[Absolute Mustard]

I use the same for both seasons. In the morning my house is the same temperature, and so is my shower.

I like a bit of lime soap in the winter

 

[heybatter]

I don't have any set rotation, I use what I want when I want to.

Yeah! What HE said!

I'm not seasonal either, but our air conditioning went out for five days or so this summer and I found myself reaching for Proraso more often than not.

 

[StubbleShaver]

Wow, I thought a lot of guys had a strict cream/soap rotation!

 

[dpm802]

Winter: Tabac
Spring: Musgo Real / Confianca / Blenheim Bouqet
Summer: Proraso, with ice-water on the hottest days of summer. Proraso or Aqua Velva ASL
Autumn: Spieck

These are the backbones of my rotation during seasonal changes.
That's not to say I don't use other products during these times, especially when I get something new in the den.
But some things are strictly verboten.
I can't use Tabac in the summer. I can't use Proraso in the winter. But Spieck is good any time of year.

They do. You can't use posts in a single thread for any sort of meaningful statistical analysis.

That said, I don't rotate or change anything with the seasons. Around here it's basically summer all year long except for a couple of cooler months and maybe a week or two of cold.

 

[Cochese2323]

Summer: DRH Arlington Soap, RazoRock XXX, just picked up Mike's Natural Lemongrass too, Proraso splash
Winter: Tabac and Speick, Proraso balm
Year Round: Mystic Waters Lavender, MdC

I also do not care for using Tabac in summer, not sure why cuz it is so awesome, but its not like I don't have anything else to use

Summer - GFT Rose & QCS Vostok Winter - TOBS Sandalwood Year round - GFT coconut

A few examples from my shave den:

[dpmtherrien]

I don't have any set rotation, I use what I want when I want to.

+1 here.

 

[gus1942]

I really have no seasonal changes. I have always been very random with my rotation but work in my favorites frequently.

I will use stuff year round, but I use things much more in season. Tabac, for instance, twice in the last couple months, maybe a couple times a week in the winter.

Summer:

Proraso
RR Mughetto di Bologna
RR Don Marco
TOBS Rose or Avocado cream

Winter:
QCS Green Irish Tweed
Tabac
QCS Basilica
Sometimes the Rose or MdB just to change it up, but not much

 

[Jasontheperson]

I can't wait to try out Proraso in the dead of Winter. Should be quite refreshing, like using liquid nitrogen as an after shave.

Proraso year round
