Male Grooming Products

I'm not sure when it happened, but at some point over the past few years, I've given into the craze. I no longer wash with just soap and water. Now I have to use a body wash gel for men. I have changed nothing about my washing procedure other than swapping in the Axe for bar soap, but I end up much cleaner. I should actually say, the wash cloth ends up much dirtier. I'm beginning to think that thre is some sort of chemical reaction between the body wash, water and human skin that turns the wash cloth to a dirty color immediately. It has other benefits too, I like the smell, and it is not nearly as drying as regular soap is.

For my shampoo, my first choice is Paul Mitchell's tea tree. After you've used that, everything else is just shampoo. If you haven't tried it, you really should. It feels like my head is getting a massage while I use it. The tingly sensation is amazing.

Last year while traveling I ran out of shaving cream or lost it or something. I went to the hotel gift shop, and all they had there was this foo-foo stuff caled Kid Glove Shaving Gel by Sharps. Since it was all they had, I had to get it. I have never used anything better. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. This year, I'm back at the same hotel, and made sure to buy some. I haven't had a shave this close since last year. I never thought that something so simple would make a difference. I'm now hooked. I've been to the website, and will be buying much more.

While I don't think I'll ever be called a metrosexual, I'm starting to act like one with all the product I now seem to need to get by on a daily basis.
