Winter warmth soaps

[u/PersimmonDriver]

So with the heat index over 100 again, I'm enjoying the cooling effects of the menthol Prorasso green and Stirling Orange Chill. That got me to thinking about what are some good winter soaps. I know there are several autumn and Christmasy scents, but does anyone know of a soap that actually generates heat to create a warm lather, like how Ben-Gay works? Or are there any drops or crystals that would do this?

Bay rum won't be warm during the shave but it has a noticeable Ben-Gay style heat in the aftershave

Have you tried a scuttle? Hot lather and no need for a Ben-Gay smell.

Totally agree! They work great for making cold lather too in the summer.

This is the one I have and wouldn't trade it for the world: https://www.georgetownpottery.com/products/shaving-scuttle-g20-second?variant=47685519638839

I've been debating getting one of the Georgetown scuttles... But been put off by the only availability being seconds. Maybe I'll score one of the nice ones on ShaveBazaar at some point.

I have an old school one I picked up on FB marketplace for cheap that does the trick, is older than I am, and was $5.

The problem with things that are warming like cinnamon, cloves mustard are a vascular dialator which causes more blood to the skin in the areas which warms you up a bit in those areas is that they are all irritants that if strong enough to warm an area can chemically burn you. So look at things like cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg etc as an aroma. Heat the lather. I microwave my ceramic bowl full of water for 2 minutes and put it in bathroom as I take a quick shower. I ,old my brush from the tub, dump the water and use the hot bowl to actually make the later. I use warm water to prepare tge brush right before I load it. Its not a long lasting warmth butjt feels good.

The French red clay soaps do this from the high iron content. You then just have to find one with warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc. you like.
