I haven't tried any of them, but Duke Cannon, Van der Hagen, and Billy Jealousy all make various "warming" preshaves and/or shaving cream.
Menthol is to summer as ??? is to winter?

I do not use Menthol for summer shaving, as ...I do not use Ethanol for my winter snowblower...

I'm trying to find something to add to unscented slash. I make my own splash and I can do with or without menthol but I was trying to find something to add the sensation of "warmth" for the winter months.
There have been a couple interesting ideas that I just haven't gotten around to trying yet, vetiver and capsaicin.
I'm kind of an unscented person. I don't really associate vetiver with summer necessarily though; it's one of the fragrances I do like, and I think of it as a year-round thing, maybe autumn if forced.
My associations with summer are probably more fruity or flowery. Lilac is kind of a good example, although that's a strongly "spring" fragrance for me. Maybe something like peach? Rose? Again, I'm unlikely to use any of those just because I usually stick to unscented products, but that's kind of where my mind goes based on experiences with fragrances in various things.
Grass is definitely a fragrance that reminds me of summer.

Being raised in the city where grass is somewhat scarce, I am more familiar with the smell of hot asphalt. Maybe some artisan will do a "Big City" summer scent, hot asphalt, gasoline, subway scents, people smoking grass, corner bar room scents, burn out rubber... ....top , middle, bottoms notes...

I find Clubman Whiskey Woods is great in the cold weather. It has a warming sensation. It has nice scent as well.
Pumpkin Spice! Ha Ha
I was really hoping someone else would have brought this up first, but there's the substance informally known as "motion lotion" that warms when you rub it in.

That's what I'm looking for, an actual sensation. I'll have to look it up and find a list of ingredients. Thanks!

Well hey! I never thought of that. Off to google what makes it work...
The correct answer to this thread is Tiger Balm.
