Grooming and Hygiene

[68degreesorless]

@SKT yeah that is a good moisturizer. It was one of my first forays into the good stuff. My favorite is the kiehls facial fuel daily energizing moisturizer but golly it’s expensive. Been trying to find a poor man’s version for a while now.

[SKT]

@68degreesorless I haven’t tried the Kiehls. Does it have any spf? It’s been hard for me hard to find a face moisturizer with spf that doesn’t make me feel like I’m wearing straight up sunscreen. That’s why I’ve stuck with the jack black

[68degreesorless]

@SKT no spf. To me, the spf ones don’t feel quite as luxuriously moist. I tell myself I’ll just apply spf separately but then I often just skip it. Since long term, the spf is probably more important than the moisture, I should probably go back to the combo.

I know it kinda defeats the ethos of the product but happy with the applicator. Also snagged a tube stand/key thingy.

Since switching to AKT I’ve become more intimate with my armpit which leads me to this question…do any of you guys trim your armpit hair? It’s a jungle in there and maybe the product would be more effective with less jungle.

[Matt]

For sure. Full torso trim along with the unmentionables when things start to get unruly. I just do a 1 all over. Definitely helps with BO.

[SKT]

Good to know and it makes sense. Jungle trim time

[goosehd]

Yep…just like landscaping. No topiaries though.

[SKT]

Ha! Definitely not

@SKT gave me a good chuckle. I can very much relate to this; long pit hair and hobbit hairy feet (at least with this comes pretty long lashes)… friends on my bball team back in high school used to say “it looks like you have Don King in a head lock”. The AKT and its intimate application brought back this teen nostalgia

[flannel slut]

And +1 camp trim

[SKT]

@flannel-slut “Don King in a headlock” now I can’t unsee it

I received the Fulton and Roark Cult Favorites Discovery Set. I do like Sterling, so I ordered the "Solid Fragrance" tin of that as well as a tin of Calle Oche (based on some reviews). I'm unsure about Calle Ocho ... I've never been to a Pottery Barn, but for some reason that's my expectation of what that store might smell like.

[Matt]

Sterlings one of my faves as well.

[Brian]

I use this
Tub lasts 6-8 months keeps me fresh for at least 2 days and has no scent which is good and comes with a little applicator tool

[Mizmazzle]

Got my Fulton and Roark sample pack as well. Think my favorite is Fulton out of the five I chose. Second fave would be Devil’s Garden.

I’m kind of curious to try some others. Though Fulton is a keeper for sure.

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle is the sample pack worth getting then?

[Mizmazzle]

@ZackB I went with the build your own sample pack. I read the descriptions to base my choices. Didn’t feel some of the smells matched what I thought they’d smell like. But a couple I really dig. So maybe the cult classics is the way to go. Can’t say for sure. I did find two I like though.

[ZackB]

@Mizmazzle dope man, I guess that’s the point of the sampler to find one. I’ll have to check it out.
