Seasonal Soap Changeout

Its turned warm in central Iowa.  And it prompted me to put aside the "winter" soaps and bring forward this small collection of "summer" soaps.

Does anyone else do a seasonal change out?  

And if you do, what is/are your warm season favorites?

Sort of. For instance, I only use B&M Diamond during baseball season, and B&M Oceana during July and August. Fine’s Snake Bite is for when the temperature is over 75 (but that’s not a hard and fast rule). Otoh, AoS Sandalwood is generally used only in Fall and Winter. Most of my other soaps are year-rounders.

I don't do seasonal changes.  In Miami it's essentially warm year-round.  Even if we had actual seasons and a significant change of weather, I would still just rotate through all my soaps evenly.

In my den the soaps & creams are at hand all year.  I do rotate some aftershave products as I'm out of room, basically swapping the balms out for menthols roughly when the clocks change.  My soaps don't feature alot of menthol, save a couple Mama Bear's "ice" flavors

No hard and fast rules.
Menthol not my first winter choice.
Summer tends to be more citrusy.
When I had 70+ soaps it was shall I say random.
Now I'm down to ~20 soaps, less random.

I have a loose seasonal swap. Although, there are some I use all year round because I enjoy them so much.  See below:

Fall/Winter                                  Spring/Summer

B&M Fougere Gothic                    Fougere Angelique
AOS Bourbon                              AOS Eucalyptus
B&M Promises                            Various A&E:  Asian Plum, Asian Pear, SoCal Hipster

Year round: B&M Tuesday (only on Tuesdays though, Zingari Man Wanderer, Wholly Kaw Dance of Agrumes.

My all time favorite scent!

Altough I use it more in the winter, i use it in spring/summer too as I really enjoy it!

At last count, I had 51 soaps - counting a case of Arko sticks and a kg brick of Cella as one each, 37 creams, and 36 balms or splashes to accompany them.

All 88 soaps and creams are random year-rounders, with the exception of Stirling Iced Pineapple (soap and splash). That one is hot weather only.

I also have a bottle of menthol M-Bomb. In hot weather, I add a drop to my loaded brush or lather bowl to ice down whatever soap or cream I am using.

I have a hard seasonal rotation.

The patchouli, vanilla, Woody, and Pine-fir-cedar, get moved out of rotation until Halloween. Citrus, floral, fruity and green pux move into rotation

Not too too special of a change for me, I dig out Mikes Lime and the last bottle of Pitralon Polar

We're already seeing some hot and humid weather in Arkansas so I turn to Proraso. Pre shave, cream and after shave splash, all green. After a hot day outside, a shower, a shave with Proraso, a cold beer and some AC. Life could be worse.

No seasonal rotation here, save a few really hot days where I’ll reach for menthol soaps/aftershaves. Speaking of, I noticed that Chiseled Face brought back my favorite splash…

I try to just do spring/summer and fall/winter


My current rotation consists of light / bright / citrus & floral note type scents


My other rotation consists of darker / heavier / tobacco & woody type scents with a couple xmas scents thrown in during the holidays

I like the basket idea

Seasonal change here... and it got wierd. 

Been using the same soap for 1.5 years interspered with erasmic to keep life happier.  All i would do is swap out between wwhat razor blade i used, or what razor i used. 

Now this year, the winter razor, a medium flare tip, has become the go to spring and summer razor with the fatboy..
