The antiperspirant aluminium thing is interesting. I was brought up on deodorant. I think it is natural to sweat. I don't know about other people but antiperspirant has always been around in the UK it just seems a bit novelty. I’m I right in thinking that in the UK most people us deodorant and in the US antiperspirant is more popular? I remember as a young kid being told how antiperspirant is not good. If you not going to sweat there you are going to sweat somewhere else.

I like to use dish washing liquid to wash my hands.

Fairy liquid is good.

TM1 you are a machinist so do like sugar soap (TSP) or pumice/grit soaps?

Should have mention I also use a pumice stone.

some of you guys are such pretty boys nothing wrong with that of course, but how much does all those beauty products cost you? i go to the dollar store to get mine and i rarely spend more than $10 on shampoo barsoap (highly underrated) and toothpaste/ i borrow my moms hairspray if i ever feel like slicking the cat back.

And whats with the Brut?

On learning that the stuff is still made, I actually bought some myself by way of nostaligia for the heady days of a 1970 school disco when you where young and imagined that the life ahead of you was going to be good.

It earns me a lot of micky taking at work where they allready say, "your not normal", its even worst now they see me using Brut, and double even worst when I was pouring some on my face and it looked to one of the fellas like I was drinking it so I wiped my lips and imformed him it made your breath smell nice.


I didn't know it was an old-fashioned thing, I just bought it because I love the color green and because it was only two dollars.

Is that why you also have a green toothbrush and green soap in your dispenser? I choose blue items whenever possible.

Yes. Strangely, my guitars are red and blue. I think my next guitar will be a green Parker Fly Deluxe. Image

I don't use either of those. Nobody has complained yet, either.

Down Under Naturals Fruit kicks Conditioner
Down Under Naturals Fruit kicks Shampoo
Avalon Organics Glycerin Hand Soap
Oral B tooth brush
Dental floss there like little sticks with floss on them. They make floss easier :D

Nice 5-string bass :). Is that a Japanese model? I can't really tell what the headstock says.

I won't be getting the Parker until I'm very famous, though, as it costs well over 3,000 dollars :P.

Radox shower cream (whichever my mum buys me for Christmas/birthday.. she likes to buy me shower stuff so I don't have to shell out for them as I have sensitive skin), Simple fragrance+perfume free facewipes, Aquafresh Total Whitening toothpaste, Colgate toothbrush with rubber bits on for the hard bits to get at in your wisdom teeth (I have deep cusps), Sanex dermo-sensitive anti-perspirant/deodorant, Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Moisturiser (for those dry bits, good on your face too, very decent stuff), and Hair Remedy Drench and Colour Protect shampoo and conditioner (from Australia apparently, found it in Wilkinsons for £1.50 a bottle.. it's the best shampoo I've used in a long time. The conditioner is so thick and makes your hair really soft).

the usual bunch: toothbrush/paste, soap, shower gel, shampoo - i dont really care much for brands. a bit of change every once in a while is okay. same for deodorant... i usually change it either when i get bored with my current brand or when its not stocked when i need new. :)
i think i should start replacing my noname shampoo with something a bit higher quality plus start using conditioner.

a bit more out of the line: merkur 23c safety razor, gilette "rotbart" blades (i want to use feather brand blades but dont have a place that stocks them), wilkinson shaving soap (was short on money - prefer better stuff), nivea after shave balsam (tested, not all that good. aiming for some classic "olde english gentleman"-smelling aftershave again)
so, by chance, most of my shaving equipment is a pretty makeshift solution right now - always balancing budget, curiosity and quality. i still guess i own a cooler razor than just about everyone else. :)
of course, id never resort to using out-of-the-box shaving stuff. shaving soap and brush is the way to go.

i use a quite wide assortment of nail stuff, and a few products that do a better job at removing makeup than water and soap.

Okay, I must ask where you got it. I absolutely LOVE it XD That was eye watering worthy of excitement when I saw it, lol.

I use all kids stuff, just about... either that or super sweet scents.

If I could find everything in just cherry scents, I would love it.

Safety razor; you have the coolest safety razor. :wink:

I never have to buy replacement blades. :P (In all honesty, if I take proper care of it, this razor will last me the rest of my life.) I take the [lost] art of shaving very seriously.

I concur with this statement; hail, brother!

Good fortune,
