Grooming and Hygiene
-
@Jordonf9 thanks for that, I will have to try those out.
Within the past few years I've been trying to use as many natural grooming products as I can. Not because I'm converting to a hipster but simply because so many of these products are chock full of chemicals that just aren't meant to be absorbed through the pores of human skin. Some of the over the counter stuff just sounds like cancer in a bottle and I'd rather not go down that road if I can help it. I've found great all natural pomades/clays/pastes, face washes, shave soaps, beard oils, etc….you get the gist. The one thing that just hasn't worked for shit for me have been all natural deodorants. I've only tried a couple and I just gave up and ended up going back to my aluminum (that's proper English for aluminium) laden trusty old grocery store favorites.
I'll give these a shot.

Sorry to hear about natural deodorant bit working for you. Weird that it is the complete opposite for me. I used Dove before switching over to these two brands. I have a decent size order coming in tomorrow of primal paste and one of them is a strong formula jar, which the normal stuff works for me. I tried a few other brands that do all natural and they didn't work, but happy these two do. I'd give the bottle I posted a shot as it's only $4! Seals the stink out great for me, while not feeling like my pores are blocked.
-
can any of you recommend any non-staining deoderants? Am I correct in assuming that any deoderant with aluminum as an ingredient will leave pit stains?

@manufc10 today I had a serious sweat day, multiple times. I allied the spray when I woke, wore my Merino wool shirts and lightly applied my new pit paste stick deodorant before going down to work on the house. I was dripping bullets for at least 2 hours tonight and not once did I smell any odor. You have to try either or both…I never had products work this well.

Thanks man, I'll have to check them out. I honestly don't have much of a problem with odor it's a problem with sweating. I will sweat like crazy when I'm active. I'm sure the forum is just thrilled to know all of this info about us btw.

I personally use Anthony Logistics deodorant. In my experience it leaves no stain and smells good. $20 a stick isn't the cheapest option but I feel good about what I'm getting.

Woof $20 a stick. Hopefully it's a yard stick haha. I paid $9 for a stick of the pit paste, so it's not far off…

My stepson got me a shaving kit for Christmas and I finally got around to using it. Question and observation:
- Why does it say on the brush that it's made out of "Genuine Badger"?!? Is this really desireable? It's weird that I'm using a brush on my face from an animal that would normally rip it off…
- I associate sandalwood with old people. I'm either wrong or I should punch him in the dick.

1. I have no idea.
2. Sandalwood is nice enough, and not only for old people.However, you need to punch him in the dick anyway because that's some hipster shit right there. Either he thinks you are one, or he is one. Either way…
-
Do you even really need to shave, Doug?

1. Because the brush you have is made with genuine badger hair, some brushes have synthetic bristles. Yes that is desirable. No it's not weird IMO, it's shaving the old school way and personally I love shaving with a brush, a bowl, puck of shaving soap and a DE razor.
2. I don't associate sandalwood with old people, I personally like the scent.
I think that's a cool gift he got you. Shaving this way is much cheaper in the long run. I have a beard myself but when I shave my neck I use a brush and DE razor. The puck of soap I am currently using has lasted me a year and there's still about 25% of it left. Ive also only.bought one new pack of blades in that year.

A proper wet shave is the only way to go, a badger hair brush will hold the soap better and lasts for ages, I've been using this brush just about everyday for 38 years!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

to help commit, I've just cancelled my dollarshaveclub subscription. The clock has started.
Was looking for something else and came across this. I've been using a double edge safety razor since around this time. One of the best decisions I've made. @seawolf was totally right - thank you all!

Now that's what I call a follow-up! So glad you joined the club, and we're glad to have you

Also, some brushes are made with boar hair, which, by all accounts, don't hold water as well as badger hair.
