I haven't heard that before. I wouldn't use canned shave cream at any time of year.

That's probably more for those living in a country that gets a real winter with severe conditions that dry and abuse your skin (low temperatures outside and dry inside, snow, wind, etc.). Then you could use a cream with more moisturizing properties. If your winter is desert dry then that might apply to you too.

In addition to TOBS Avocado, I can also recommend Godrej, Musgo Real and Cella (soft soap) but you'll need a brush to apply them.

+1 on Musgo Real. It's a great cream for the cold dry winter months.

[TZee]

+1 Musgo Real. That's a true gentleman's scent.

+1 Cella. Good year round, and will moisturize your face nicely. Follow it up with a cup of hot cocoa if you're hungry.

Nancy Boy Replenishing SC is nice for Winter (Michigan where it gets cold and humidity drops in the house)

[Deltaboy]

You can use any thing that doesn't give you any skin problems. I use C.O. Bigelow or one of my VDH soaps year around.

I second the notion to go with TOBS Avocado. If you can find a shaving cream where lanolin is a main component, that would be good in the winter, also.

In the dead of a Chicago winter, I want something fresh (Musgo Real, Godrej Rich Foam) or citrus-y (J.M. Fraser, most anything "lime".

There's no winter in Melbourne, use whatever you like.

I recommend TOBS Avocado.

That was my first thought too.

[Tom Ford]

AOS Sandalwood, Cella or D R Harris Arlington. All great stuff.

Hey Flatlinerz. I'm in Melbourne too. I know all of these are soaps, but currently I'm rotating between Mitchell's Wool Fat, Valobra shave stick and Palmolive (Euro version with tallow) shave stick. I used the Palmolive this morning - great, moisturising shave. The shave sticks have the advantage of being a bit quicker in the mornings as I only face lather. YMMV though.

I seem to have a thing for tallow-based soaps ...

PM me if you want me to cut a slice off the Palmolive or Valobra stick for you to try...

+1 I do love TOBS Avocado cream in the cooler months. Summertime is usually Proraso daily!

TOBS Sandalwood. Musgo is good for Summer or Winter.
