          I'm interested to hear how the Aveeno works for you.

            They seem to have stuff for the rest of the body as well… Need something for arms and face. Their anti-eczeema stuff seems cool... But you wouldn't have any experience with that, right?..

              Just FYI - my wife uses Dermalogica for a lot of her lotions and potions….I guess the lady at the beauty shop turned her on to DermaDoctor which is basically the same stuff at 2/3 the price. So now she uses a combination of the two.

              Personally - the products I like the best are the Lush shampoo bars (so awesome), my Firehouse moustache wax, and my BeardBrand beard oil.

                Some new acquisitions.  Been a fan of Proraso shaving products for a while now and am pleased to say their new face moisturiser is equally good.

                Creed Aventus was a spur of the moment purchase while killing an afternoon walking round my local department store while waiting for my car to be serviced.  So far so good, Mrs Trash approves and the scent seems to last for quite some time.

                The Castle Forbes shave cream is also really good with a nice fresh citrus smell.  More of a summer shave cream but it is still getting some good use through the Autumn / Winter months.  It lathers up easily when used with a bowl or straight onto your face with a brush.

                There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                        Just applied it… Dries with the quickness, not greasy at all, barely any scent. And it makes my hands feel very weird, in a good way, as if I'm wearing wax gloves  😃

                          It does. No tears or wounds in my hands after a whole day of work, and about 10 handwashes… Excellent!..

                            need recommendations for a shaving soap/cream (with link to site for purchase would be nice)
                            hard puck style
                            used this http://www.fendrihan.com/taylor-bond-street-shaving-cream-sensitive-skin-p-118.html?cPath=116_10_33
                            it was okay
                            currently using the new york shaving company's shaving cream
                            love the smell hate how fast it uses up
                            its really soft and i'd say its only lasted 20 shaves tops
                            if you find the one you recommend on the site i linked above even better as its a local company

                            thanks guys

                              Truefitt & Hill shaving cream IMO is the best. Rich creamy lather,  1 tub lasts a year, you only need a drop if you whip it up well. Love West Indian Limes, Trafalgar and Sandalwood.

                              They make amazing colognes as well. That will actually stay on you all day long. Sandalwood, 1805 & Spanish Leather and my favorite scents.

                                good news, the Fendrihan website, seems very well stocked with some great options.

                                I would always recommend the Proraso creams / soaps.  Great value and in my experience quite long lasting.

                                http://www.fendrihan.com/proraso-green-oatmeal-shaving-soap-sensitive-skin-formula-p-366.html

                                The Proraso shave cream you get in a bowl is more like a dense cream, I started out scooping a couple of finger tips worth of cream and working it directly into the head of the wet shave brush.  I have since changed my technique and now just put the wet brush directly into the top of the bowl and give it a stir until the brush is loaded up before face lathering.  You don't need masses of cream to get a good lather with the proraso.

                                If you are feeling indulgent then they also do the castle forbes range of creams, very nice but pricey.

                                hope this helps

                                  Best darn shaving crème in the world… IMO

                                  Also Dr.Bronner’s peppermint liquid soap is best for everything… washing jeans, dog, hair, face, body, etc…

                                    Bronners is great for shaving if you don't use a brush
