What hygiene products do you use?

Post Reply New Topic

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.

I don't care if you call me a hippie I avoid products with animal ingredients and Animal tested products. I'm a vegetarian too. I don't use anything with dyes and perfumes it hurts my skin and I get a rash on my belly.

I use

Toms Of Mayne Anti- Cavity toothpaste mint flavor. '
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

A mineral-rich cleansing bar with seaweed, French green clay, lemongrass, lemon myrtle & peppermint essential oils.(pretty exotic eh?)
I always use organic shower products, there better for your skin plus they smell DIVINE.
My all time favourite spray

I loooovethe smell of vanilla.








lol I actually have this toothbrush!

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.

icarus: hail, brother.
i like the idea of a cutthroat razor, but for one, i tried to shave myself with one once, and got razorburn like hell. okay, that was probably down to the crappy quality of the blade and its lack of a proper cutting edge.
but i dont think i could use the cutthroat for my whole body as well as i can do with my safety razor. it sure is the single most superb option for shaving a face out there - but add armpits, chest and... privates to the job and things look a bit differently, i think.

i like the act of shaving the oldschool way, too. its such a meditative thing to do... it almost instantly shuts the world off.

I'd probably cut my fingers off with one of those things.

Anyway, I just bought a new razor because my Gillette Mach 3 didn't treat my jawline with the respect it deserves. I'm now the proud owner of a Schick Quattro Titanium. It looks really cool and works a lot better.
