[Closed] Moisturiser

I us Adidas stuff

L'oreal if you're 'worth it' though? Are you?

I recommend - L'orela Hydro Active Turbo V12 Regenerist Big Dickinator Horsepower Vroom Explode Chainsaw Face Oil. Because it sounds manly like man stuff, like shaving with a shard of shrapnel which you've just pulled out of your leg.... as opposed to girly like woman stuff.

King of Shaves

Nivea for Men

Boots No 7 for Men

(God bless all those dull relatives who buy bargain bucket toiletry sets as Xmas presents!)

I don't bother with any of that nonsense. In fact, I dry shave with a wet shaver 😯

.....cos I is right hard

My old man uses uddermint.

It's a cream you put on the teats of suckling sows when the piglets chew them up. Its antiseptic for any cuts, smells of mint and leaves your face as smooth as a sows teat!

Hard to beat.

Seconded. I normally aggravate the nearest grizzly bear by sticking my thumb up his ass until rips the hair off my face with his powerful canines.

I have to provoke the grizzly with the afformentioned ass thumb move because grizzlys naturally fear me, in the same way that polar bears fear grizzlys.

I used to wake up and my skin looked OK no matter how much I drank, I have never suffered dry skin and could happlly wash in petrol with no ill effects, then I hit 40 and now I wake up wizend and with a face like a rusty BBQ....

I got whatever moisturiser it is the wife bought me....... I wouldnt bother but my face would crack open if I didnt.

I've had to use moisturiser since the first time I shaved or I ended up looking like a rusty BBQ 🙂 But then I do have odd skin that doesnt like contact with water (I can bathe in oil, grease, petrol, even acetone etc all day and have no issues but if I have 2 showers in a day my skin goes mental, regardless of soap used) - only sea water or nivea for me I'm afraid. (I kid you not).

Body Shop do a "Face Protector" for men. Sounds a bit less ghey. They also do a high-SPF version.

V8 POWER SERGE VOLCANIC OIL!! For MEN who like to LIVE, Experience IT ALL and THINK SMART!!!FOR MEN!!

I'm sure I saw on one o' dem panel shows how the men's products are all given "manly" names such as "Face Protector"...it went on for a few minutes and was funny. I use the King Of Shaves, though was bought a present of Clinique Face Scrub and Moisturiser by my mate (how metrosexual are we??!!) and it's lovely. Mrs deadly swears the KoS stuff is better than women's stuff three time the price.

Moisturiser? I use H2O by Severn Trent (I prefer Yorkshire Water but the pipes don't stock it round here)

I'll try the king of shaves. I have a Dead Sea Minerals face scrub/balm type thing. It softens the skin quite well but leave it dry. Is the king of shaves not very pungent? I like a subtle scent...

King of shaves 24/8 is awesome. Haven't seen it for ages though.

King of shaves, the gel stuff, best stuff i have ever used.

E45.

It depends whether you believe the marketing hype or not. Personally I use clarins for men, accompanied by clinique for men oil free anti-shine, as well as their pore minimiser and m-cover stick.

For the rest of me I use kiehls creme de corps which I rate highly, especially immediately post shower.

Whether any of them work any better than the 500ml pots of aqueous bp you can get from boots for £4 is open to question, probably not hugely, maybe not even marginally.

Vaseline moisturiser, the yellowish tub.

Very good for shaving rash and not too girlie or blokey (if that's important).

Wash the ole face with Molton Brown face wash then apply Molton Brown .. Daily skin defence .. smooth as a baby's backside !!

IME massively better. E45 and the likes act like glue IMO. Depends on your problem. I dont find any help for shaving rash!

Clinique Post Shave healer works well for me. Non too smelly and aloe vera sorts our any nicks or razor burn.

Shaving rash, rather than dry skin is my problem, esp on my neck. Really sore today, right at the edge of my collar! Another reason why I hate suits...

No ladies able to advise on what feels best to them?

WTF,is this thread for real ?
Men & moisturiser, I don't even wanna go there.....

This is on my desk...

I am all too aware how bad this looks - not least because it all lives in a little dove-grey leather Molton Brown bag 🙁

Oh, and there's some Clarins lipbalm in my coat pocket, some Molton Brown showergel in the office shower (continues in this vein for some time...)

For skin smooth as a babies derriere:

As you were.

Another vote for E45.

Oh... And, of course, I assume most us have some cuticle scissors and cuticle oil in their desk draw too!

I have got lovely nails though 😉

Ok, tarka, you have let us all down!! My moisturiser lives in my work backpack along side a screw driver, pen knife and some condoms. Not a beige wash bag!!

Seconded.

Moisturiser would make my beard greasy.

It's not that bad really - I've got a dead-butch rufty-tufty work backpack with a Leatherman in it too - it's made by Rapha (digs self further into deeeep hole)

Do you plan on torturing someone before greasing them up and raping them?

Pure tap water (as pure as tap water is before any pedants have a go).... I still look young enough at 37! No wrinkles, no grey hair, all my own teeth 😀

Feels nice, smells nice, makes my wife randy. I don't really see a downside.

Laughing my socks off at that.

Haha!! What a great thread (to a girlie). Much amusement, thank you.

Agree with druid - go for something with SPF as you're such outdoorsy types. As for Clarins - well I wouldn't even buy that for myself cos I could get a Ti seatpost for the same money 😉

Cocoa shia milk butter is amazing and expensive.

I know someone who is 60 who's face looks 40's?!
34yrs who look 25 etc

Also good genes and not being too pale or dark.

Sun block for summer and sleep/eat healthy and lots of sex and laughing!
