I prefer the King of shaves product possibly combined with Gillete aftershave cream as a good combo! But that baby oil isnt a bad idea. Or possibly the grease from one of our scanner grease bottles.

Yes KoS is pretty amazing. I remember when a friend introduced it to me at university – I think my reaction was something along the lines of “why has nobody told me about this before?”. Cur throwing away the Gillette foam. I’m not quite still on the same bottle I bought then but it does have a remarkable shelf-life.

I am also a fan of Lush shaving creams: http://www.lush.co.uk/categories/Shaving_73.aspx

Still, on the topic of Lush nothing is as good as their Ocean Salt exfoliant:

It IS a good product, but you can use baby oil which works just as well and is much cheaper.

Thanks for reminding me about the Body Shop stuff Ed. I haven’t used that for years – great stuff

Lloyd – I would LOVE to see a video to accompany this post.

And some accidental nudity if possible.

Tomorrow morning?

Please?

I’m more of a Liz Earle fan myself at the moment and find it an excellent replacement for the old Body Shop cream.

Thanks Kat – haha you really haven’t seen those G-Room videos have you? I hesitate to point you to them (do *not* look at the shampoo one), but I did one on the moisturiser that should show you what I think of them:

btw – apostrophe slip-up in your second line – I’m sure you mean you’ve been stealing your boyfriend’s rather than that for 10 years you’ve acquired your boyfriends by nefarious means…

King of Shaves rocks! They’ve finally brought out some female versions as well which means that after 10 years of stealing my boyfriends I have my own.

Not sure if you’re a moisturiser/after shave balm kinda guy but I know my other half would also recommend the exfoliant wash and the moisturiser. He hates anything that leaves him feeling greasy and apparently the moisturiser doesn’t, it also seems to prevent any razor rash/burn which he was prone to in the past.
