Cade aftershave balm by L'Occitane.
It keeps my face moist/moisturized for a good 12 hours.

In general, creams with lanolin or shea butter should be pretty good for keeping your skin moisturized in the cold weather. Lanolin creams include Musgo Real, Lavanda, Top Secret. A cream with shea butter is Pre de Provence. A good aftershave balm should help quite a bit as well. Personally, I don't have problems with my skin drying out in general, but when I do get a dry patch I'll just pay more attention to using a balm or face moisturizer in between shaves.

Coconut Oil is the way to go

Use the C&E Nomad balm as well. It doesn't require much for your face to feel great.

QCS ASB have nice amount of moisture in them for the dry months as does all of QCS body soaps which I've been using for a year. I had gotten several Caswell Massey body soaps at a half price sale. They are probably the richest and creamy body soaps I've ever used, definitely do not dry out my skin with a good moisturizing affect, plus they smell great.

Even though I use them year round, AOS Sandalwood and Mike's Pine and Cedarwood will be used a lot by me this winter. Sneaking in some Cella every now and then will also be a pleasure. I would recommend all three of those to anyone during the cold months. I believe they all have either tallow or lanolin.

I thought trumpers used coconut oil but TOBS didn't. Then again I never had TOBS I just read that in a head to head comparison.

Proraso Red is my preferred cold weather cream. Tabac is my other choice, but Proraso wins by at least a 4-to-1 margin.

 

[smokeydave]

@pipskicks

not sure of ot has coconut oil in it though someone might help on that..

The only reason is that I have Trumpers, bought it from the BST used though, and I have thought of refilling it (although I am convinced that at the cost it's just not something I'll get again), and I had looked at TOBS since it's like half the price and actually closer to affordable.
The problem is I've read a bunch of threads on TOBS vs Trumpers Coconut cream and I thought that some people like the TOBS scent, but it seemed like Trumpers won pretty unanimously (without price being a factor at least). And I'm pretty sure I read that TOBS had "coconut acid" vs. "coconut oil." I don't know the exact difference, but I would assume the oil would be better for your dry skin than the fragrance?

Tabula Rasa cream, Honeybee soaps, and Martin de Cadre soap.

QCS Mysore Sandalwood

I use the same stuff as I do during the summer, I just add in a step where I put on lubriderm 3-1 lotion between witch hazel and after shave.

Your spot on It has acid not oil, however it's nice but again no protection
Next payday try and get geo coconut .

Ohh I can't stand the smell of witch hazel makes me cringe

 

[pipskicks]

I mix mine with Lime EO, extra astringent and no WH smell.

 

[Disburden]

I honestly don't see any difference when I use something for the season we are in.
For example, people say proraso is great in the summer...I think it's great any time I use it..

People say mwf is a great winter soap...I think it is great period.

TOBS Sandalwood and Almond, T&H West Indies Limes, QCS Celestial Woods and Providence and one of my faves is Mama Bears Toasted Coconut soap.
