Let’s see Right now I have Suave Men Sport body wash, no loofah For shampoo I am using right now White Rain Coconut and Hibiscus, I also got an extra one Silkience Pro Formula 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner. I will admit that I am very about picky what I shower with.

All I use is Original Source Blood Orange Daily Scrub or their Mint and Tea Tree. I don’t use anything on my face and just shave in the shower. I haven’t used shampoo for years except if I get an itchy scalp. Then I use Head and Shoulders once. This happens about every 6 months. The rest of the time I just use a mix of bicarb and water followed by diluted apple cider vinegar. ---

A bar of soap and a bottle of Head and Shoulders. I was shaving last night and it dawned on me that my current favorite razor is a bright pink disposable ladies Schick Quarto. I had bought a pack for my wife when she forgot her razor on a trip and now I use them exclusively. I have a beard, so I’m only shaving my neck and cheeks every few days, but they seem to last a long time and clean out easily. I also like the wider flatter handle that you get with a lot of women’s razors. ---

Some generic shampoo repositioned into a shower friendly sized bottle. A bar of Dove soap (the Wife insists on it after her cancer situation. ) Some generic conditioner in a similar shower friendly sized bottle for my mustache. I shave using a bowl and brush, tag ends of soap into the bowl. 1920s style Gillette double edged razor. ---

Cetaphil skin cleanser and a washcloth. Does it need to be more complicated than that? ---

> [@Broomstick](#): > > Cetaphil skin cleanser and a washcloth. > > Does it need to be more complicated than that? It’s not a high bar, but a washcloth is 100 times more complicated than anything anyone else has said. If you factor in that you need at least a few of them and you have to wash them regularly. You can’t let them sit wet in the corner to start stinking. You need to remember a new one or risk having to jump out of the shower to grab one when your already wet. ---

Hair: American Crew [shampoo](http://a.co/fjh2meR) and [conditioner](http://a.co/6iokqlT). Body: C.O. Bigelow [Mentha soap](https://www.bigelowchemists.com/c-o-bigelow-products/mentha-collection/c-o-bigelow-mentha-exfoliating-body-soap-no-1413.html). No tools, although I do occasionally use a [back brush](http://a.co/c2ny6V1). Not every morning, though. If we’re doing shaving as well: [Proraso shaving cream](http://a.co/37s9Tdc), and [Nivea post-shave balm](http://a.co/1Pm4Wx2) afterward. My father-in-law got me some Truefitt & Hill products for Christmas, which smell amazing, but I’ve only used them once. ---

I also like the wider flatter handle that you get with a lot of women’s razors. I don’t use Twitter, but if I ever do one of the first things I want to do is send a tweet to Gilette and say “You want to make a REAL “for men only” product? Make your razors with thicker handles! Men have bigger hands and mine often cramp if I’m holding it the wrong way.” My body wash changes depending on what’s on sale, but usually some form of Axe or Old Spice. Although, right now I alternate between Method (Target brand) and some kind of cranberry somethingorother that Mrs. Cups got as a free sample. I use a loofah. Hair is Dove for men shampoo and Head and Shoulders conditioner. ---

I use unscented Dove soap bars (the one in the women’s/family aisle, not the dumbass Dove for Men product they’ve started selling. When did soap acquire gender?) and Pert Plus shampoo, which has conditioner built-in. It used to be sold by P&G but is now owned by someone else and is somewhat hard to find.
