@madmonday:

i've very dry skin & have been confused with ashy larry on several occasions.

while reading this, i had to think about Dave Chappelle and the championship of dice…thanks for making my day mickey. great great shit

[urbanwoodsman]

I use this. Works well for me. I'm no ashy Larry but I'm from Florida and this dry Northeastern winterland weather makes me feel like shaved Parmesan.

This is my favorite. I've tried a bunch of expensive stuff, but I keep coming back to this. This stuff lasts through hand washing which is a huge plus for me. I wash my hands constantly in the kitchen, and compound that with winter air, and my hands become a cracked, bleeding mess.

Excellent - I'll be ordering that soon… Exactly what I need: for it to last through handwashes.

Do you need to re-apply it during the day or not?..

[seawolf]

Usually only once during the day, and once before bed. Seems to be enough.  It's not greasy, it absorbs quickly, and it's unscented. Perfect.

Two Aveeno handream 75 ml bottles ordered for 13 € postage inc, and 6 bars of Dr Bronner's peppermint soap for in the shower for 9 €.

All set.

For those of you with hair
Check out the 'Uppercut' range of hair products.
Started out as a couple of Aussie skater/surfers, and now a world class product!
Awesome stuff, i use it almost every day.

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.

Love Aventus! Great purchase man.

[Seul]

Applying it in a bit…

[seawolf]

Awesome! Hope it works well for you Eli.

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

@seawolf:

Hope it works well for you Eli.

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.
