For shaving i guess most men probably go for gillette related products due to the brand name. Things like facial wash are a bit unclear though, what with so many different models and types. Moisturers, toners, exfoliaters... I also recently purchased a bottle of Enya Lanolin Cream body wash, and i can't figure out whether i got a defective bottle or something, because it just smells so bad that i almost puked in the shower stall. Can't return it either so i feel like i got scammed somehow...guess i should try smelling soap before buying it.	Question (15792)

For facial, don't use them :D I used to have a aftershave balm which I found was better than normal EDT - I had the same scent. To me the scent needs to match. I don't like to use a deodorant that smells diff to a aftershave :p at the min I would use a deodorant that is low in scent but some you can get a matching EDT, to a deodorant to even shower gel on some....

Having said that I only buy what I need, no what the marketing division of some corporate machine want me to think I need. Toothpaste, soap.....uh...yeah, thats it. I may have some shaving cream but usually I use an electric razor.	Metla (12)

Some might be in their 20s and others 60s ... diff market. I tried one of the Channel aftershave and got that old tobacco type smell.... :p Or it might of been Yves Saint Laurent. For toothpaste, don't care, I just stick to the big names and get them when they are on special. I don't go for Colgate Total or the equiv that they say offer 24hr protection. Ask any decent dentist they will say any toothpaste is fine, it's how you use it and re: mouth rinse and plaque pre-rinse or softener, it's largely bull. The scientific data is taken out of context and used for marketing. You are better off having a healthier lifestyle and regular dental checkup and maintain it better.	Nomad (952)

1217239	2011-07-16 06:25:00	All I use is shaving cream, soap and toothpaste. No underarm **** or body deoderants. The toothpaste I use is Sensodyne cause if I don't use it I get sensitive teeth. :)	Trev (427)

Shaving cream/shampoo/body soaps - mid range brands, e.g. Imperial, and premium brands when available at local discount merchant stores. Tons of such stores in industrial areas of Manukau/Botany.	kahawai chaser (3545)
