Changeover Day

[Nanook]

Nope, they are Autumn/Winter

Spitfire and Diamond are the only soaps I'll use all year round.

VERY late this year, but it has happened!

Out with the Spring/Summer and in with the [just] Autumn/Winter

I’ve put the Proraso green away, and I’m using an old tallow MWF.

I was late this year as well. I normally change over on the ANZAC long weekend but finally got around to it last weekend.

My one concession to changeover day (a couple of weeks ago) is to bring out my "new" tub of Noble Otter Two Kings. We used to be able to get this from B&B, but now it's discontinued, we have to look a bit further afield for NOS. My favourite NO scent...

Changeover Day (noun) - the day that a gentlemen wet shaver changes from autumn/winter to spring/summer scents and soaps and vice versa. Usually the Spring or Autumn equinox.

I seriously don't have a lot of software. I may have tried a lot but I've whittled it down to two drawers, one soaps and one post-shave, well sort of.

That is two drawers each "season", I have a Spring/Summer collection and and Autumn/Winter collection. Since I've just swapped them over tonight, Autumn/Winter soaps shown below -



I was curious if others did the same? Except of course for @todras who would need a shed for each four seasons of course!

How do these soaps stack up today?

Half of them gone, half I still have them or replacements

What it looks like now @ColorMug -

That looks like quite a reasonable collection. I’m yet to try any of them, it’s a shame I missed the boat on the private reserve though. Are you reaching for any in particular lately?

 

[Mark1966]

I share them around

Hmmm. From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're becoming a minimalist (dare I say, like me). You appear to have about twice as many soaps in circulation as I do, but your collection seems much reduced from where it was a couple of years ago. I've been aiming (unsuccessfully) for a palette of 4 soaps for some time, but I might be getting close now.

BTW, you might need to have words with your cat about her sleeping in your soap drawer.

I'm working on the theory that it MUST get warmer in November in Canberra, time for the Spring/Summer collection -

What's that Australians All tub you have in there Mark?

Australians All was a limited edition collaboration P&C release in 2017. The soap base was by @SchoolForAnts who ran Squadron Soaps and the scent was a creation of the late @todras of Australian Private Reserve.

That sounds fantastic!

I've been noticing a bit of a thaw down here in TAS, so I changed over a couple of soaps in my small collection a week or so ago. Just enough to keep things interesting for now, and I'll give the lineup a bit of a refresh in January.
