      Even with soap I need to look hard for ones without damn foaming agents like SLS (which are literally irritants to skin). But at least you don’t have all the plastic waste that shower gels involve. Shampoo and conditioner are available as bars too, for people who use those.

        Use a shampoo bar also. Same reason. No plastics.

        How many micro particles of plastic do you think are in 1 bottle of shampoo? 1 million? I have no idea, but I’m not going there.

      I’m this way with body wash. However with deodorant, I use a Japanese deodorant. I lived in Japan for a while, got used to it, and now American deodorants kind of hurt. I import it now. When I was working for a Japanese company, I’d have colleagues bring big boxes of it to re-up.

    The most girly ones I can find. Anything marketed as “for men” with no actual scent described is a big warning sign to avoid. I imagine they are “Engine oil and Swarfega” or “Sawdust and petrol” or other stereotypical alpha male aromas.

    I was a long time user of Old Spice Original, but all the plastic waste got to me. After trying MANY natural brands, I found “No Pong”, the stupidest-named, most over-priced product that works great. I use it now.

    I’ve been using Every Man Jack products for body wash and shampoo. I can’t really find many soaps that lather as well as them so it’s what I’ve been sticking with.

    Kirkland Citrus body wash and Mitchum unscented antiperspirant.

    I’m a sweaty mofo and need the strong stuff.

    Old Spice.

    Both the plain, beautiful blue Fresh variety.

    Both feel clean and smell fresh.

    I have very sensitive skin.

    I will pitch an apoplectic fit if they ever discontinue it.

    YOU HEAR ME, OLD SPICE!? NO ONE NEEDS WOLFSBANE OR WHATEVER OTHER SHIT YOU’RE PEDDLING.

    I use any clear gel, currently Old Spice. I haven’t found a single “normal” deodorant that doesn’t leave white shit on my shirts, so clear gel it is.

    As for shower gel, I just use a bar of soap. Anything is fine. What you should be really worried about is your shampoo and conditioner. Don’t use either of them daily. Don’t get that bullshit 2-in-1. Most people use them wrong, too.

      Hair & Body wash can work but often are too aggressive for hair. But used occasionally is not problematic.

    I just use liquid dr bonners, dude writes some unhinged stuff on his bottles but its nice soap. I usually dont like scented soaps, but i am a fan of the peppermint version.

    I dont really care about what antipersperant i use, but i tend to avoid ones marketed as “FOR MEN, CHARCOAL SWEAT AND ALPINE” Etc etc.

    Deodorant is just whatever’s cheapest. Body wash used to be whatever’s cheapest but then one day the cheapest was Dove and it makes my skin feel amazing so I’ve been sticking with that ever since.

    Solid hair soap. I just use the rest for my body lol. Works very fine for me.

    For shaving, facial cream and aftershave its way more difficult though. I currently use Moringa face cream but would use anything not weird foam+deodorant. Aftershave not sure. Tea tree oil currently, but I think its not optimal?
