Butch Products

I've never been able to use bar soaps... residue. I'm sure there's some out there that don't leave that feeling. I just gave up long ago.

I used to wear deodorant only products. Somewhere along the way I picked the habit of using ones with antiperspirant too ... which if I recall is the part that's not good for ya... aluminium I think. I keep meaning to go back to my old ways but keep forgetting to buy something different! Oy... habits are hard to break ... or start!

I am back to using bar soap, mild formula, dove mens comfort care.

Also I am finding that the white stick deodorants no longer work on me, I have better luck with the blue colored sticks of deodorant or the gels.

The only thing that works for me now is old spice deodorants, dove soap and I still use my Cetaphil lotion on my face, still trying to find some decent men's lotion that doesn't irritate my skin.

Yes habits are hard to breal but i got tired of the constant dryness from shower gels. They are great for scent but dried me out way bad.

Very true! There's something about gels that seems inherently drying … whether it's for the face, the body or the hair!

Have you tried any oils … to replenish moisture? I take really hot showers/baths/soaks. Hot water can be very drying. There are some light oil (e.g. sesame seed) type products that combat the dryness.

Those hair gels that seem to shrink the scalp. Only wear them when I must get this buzz cut to behave. Wash and oil immediately when getting home. Even Fresh and Clear (frag free) does this.

But, JDeere, have you tried Aveeno oatmeal treatments. They're supposed to work pretty well. Cetaphil cream is my best friend like others here.

Oils dont work well with my body for some reason but yes I have used Aveeno and i dont like it Lol

I use the cetaphil face lotion but prefer something different for the body.

I recently got another tin of pomade, House 99, and first impressions, it's quite nice. It doesn’t leave my hands super greasy (yes, I still need to get the “excess” off), and I find you don’t need to wait for it to set. Again, this is my first impressions, so after using it for a while my opinion may change. The only downside is that I think it’s quite expensive (I didn’t exactly look at the price tag, but I was a little shocked at the total) o_o
