Gentleman's Quarter (Bay Rum and Orange and Desert Ironwood), Proraso, Cella and Mitchell's Woolfat, they cover all of the seasons quite adequately.
So far Tabac, Col Conk Almond, and Speick. Working on the other two.

MWF and Arko have been excellent to me. I like the Arko smell. It smells like soap, which isn't a bad thing to me at all. Arko inspired me to turn my MWF into a shave stick.
