Mens Grooming

[Young Gotti]

So we all here to take care of out bodies. A lot of us have goals to look better in the mirror.

I figured we could get some chatter on men's grooming overall.

The last few months I became a member of Dollar Shave club and have really enjoyed it so far. Don't like their shave butter like everyone else but it's nice to get blades every month. I also got a sample of Harry's razors which I think are even better than DSC but are a bit more pricey.

I've also become interested in good hair products and by good I mean not the supermarket hair products. I've recently acquired quite a collection of matte clays for my hair.

Also participating in no shave November where I use argon oil for the little facial hair I have so far.

My girl also has me a shopper at Bath and Body now, their mens lotion: suede is my favorite scent and seems to stronger and last longer than my favorite cologne when I apply it to my face..


anyone else have any favorite products?

I'm a Harry's fan myself. Their advertising and packaging style is kind of at the other end of the spectrum from DSC, and since I'm an older dude it just appeals to me more. Only other product I use is Crew Comb, to keep the flat top nice and tight.

I use cremo to shave my head and face along with a merkur razor 34c and Col. Conks aftershave. I use cremo beard balm and grave b4 shave beard oil and assorted beard balms....grave makes some good holding balm for long goats and beerds....plus the smell good

Merkur makes one h3ll of a razor. Safety razors are what I used for years, and honestly I've been debating going back to them.

What razor blades do u use for the safety razors....i bought an inexpensive safety razor and i didnt love it...just dont know if it was the handle or the blades

Just bought some products from Brickell Men's Products. Hopefully they work well

I used the Derby Professional blades in mine. It's what my barber had for years. After he died, I started getting them from A-zon

Proof positive.....Good enough for Lady Bits, good enough for your face.

Any of you guys use shave soap and a brush? My girl got me some...it was cheap to see if id lile it and the stuff made my face numb but when i start shaving i may get a better ser up

 

[DemntedCowboy]

I just go to Lady Janes, and let them.do what they do. Saves me the time. Lol

Never found a razor that doesn’t kill me afterwards. I’ve tried it all! Wish I could shave on a regular basis though. My hair grows fast enough.

I use a Merkur 34C razor with Feather blades and a brush with Taylor of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream. The soap was making my skin too dry, so I prefer the shaving cream, but it comes in a similar dish.

For shampoo/conditioner and hair styling products, look into mister pompadour products. I use the natural beeswax paste...gets the job done without feeling like I have a bunch of **** in my hair.

DHT hair shampoo:

Its all about the prep....hot shower, exfoliate ur skin in the shower....doing those 2 things stopped me from getting ingrown hairs after shaving....then use a good shave cream (not that bull$hit in a areosole can) and toss the multi blade razors for a good safety razor and blades.

so you like mister pomp?

so far for my hair, my go to's have been layrite cement, lockharts matte clay, and uppercut matte clay......depends on how long my hair Is and what it's like outside, some of the water based products don't hold up in the humidity for me

theres a youtube video, I haven't watched it yet....where I think someone is claiming mister pomp and pete and pedro are the same product.....just an fyi because I know alpha.m youtube always has discount codes, if they are the same, might save you some money

Whichever it is, it works for me. I also just stock up whenever they have sales, so any price difference won't matter to me.

I'm just enjoying what is left, but the forehead space does keep getting larger with every new year lol

What keeps hair healthy is don’t wash your hair too often. I think I have washed my hair like once in the last 2 month and it looks and feels great.

 

[Young Gotti]

Grabbed a free sample from Bad As* beard care....pretty good stuff, pay for shipping and you get a small bottle of beard wash, some balm, and oil in the scent of your choice

I dont' really have anything to compare it to since I've never had a beard before but the smell is really good and the wash feels good, the oil makes the hair soft
