However, I have been getting up before dawn lately to build a railroad, and lemme tell ya, my neighbors hate my guts.

I have ignored duke cannon’s marketing in order to try out their giant bar soap and, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t come close to Pré de Provence or whatever big chunky herbal / oatmeal bar soap you care to try from your local farmers market / organic grocer

have you tried having someone (preferably a hairy man with no shirt on) throw the brick of soap at you? you're not clean unless you get bruised up a little

I have no products apart from some fairly generic aftershave (which I really only use when I shave my head every couple weeks) and Dr. Bronner's.

the soap is good but the lack of masc marketing psychic aggression is where its true value lies

"Duke Cannon’s premium grooming goods will not get you laid, and they won’t make you more manly. They promise only to you get you clean, smelling, and feeling good. Your masculinity is not defined by the brands you use but by the actions you take. The Duke Cannon brand is FOR decent, hard-working men; it doesn’t help create them."
such mixed messaging

We share some of the bar soap, that’s about it. I always prefer exfoliating stuff, she usually doesn’t. I use Mane & Tail, she has hair that actually requires attention. We have three of the same type of hairbrush but I’ve gone ahead and labeled the back of each one with a white paint pen, that’s probably the most indicative detail here.

i don't like to use my gf's products because they're usually more expensive and she buys them. i share her sunscreen and moisturizer if she has bought a cheaper one. and i use cheap shower gel and head and shoulders and sunscreen and salicylic acid for my zittiness and that's it.
― bookmarkflaglink (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 30 July 2019 20:36 (four years ago) link
oh and i buy my own cheap moisturizer if she only has more expensive stuff

i've been single for 10 years, but was basically married for 11 years prior, and the idea of "sharing all your products" was a bit too close for comfort.
― sarahell, Tuesday, 30 July 2019 21:07 (four years ago) link
we share the products that we both need (soap, shampoo, conditioner, skin lotion), I just use whatever brands she chooses
― Brad C., Tuesday, 30 July 2019 21:11 (four years ago) link
she doesn't like me sharing lol

question marks, whatever
― brimstead, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 04:47 (four years ago) link
Yep. Having the same 'taste' helps, I guess, but I can't imagine having such vastly different preferences that either couldn't/wouldn't use the other's. But I'm not married to any of my shower products.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 08:21 (four years ago) link
Same soap, but that's about it. We use different shampoos because my hair gets oily whereas hers gets dry (mine is still a 'woman's' product though). Different deodorants as well (we both avoid antiperspirants, however), as I tend to sweat more on average. I don't really use anything else aside from the occasional conditioner (which we share) and cologne, so the rest is all hers.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 08:41 (four years ago) link
I don't even use the same bathroom as my wife.
― pplains, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 09:54 (four years ago) link
I woulda thought sharing all the products (as we do) is a "masculine" attitude, in that the "man" is not supposed to care about this stuff.
― L'assie (Euler), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 09:58 (four years ago) link
Oh and the same shaving foam.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 09:59 (four years ago) link
the question marks were because I didn't know there was such a niche for men to have their own soap/shampoo/etc if they are living in a family situation and don't have special needs (like eczema or other sensitivities).
i am probably a super social groomer though.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 13:31 (four years ago) link
When me and my two college buddies finally got a house together, second morning I noticed three bars of soap.
"Really?" I asked. "Are we going to have three rolls of toilet paper too?"
Whenever I'd get mad at one of them, I'd use his soap instead of my own.
― pplains, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 13:33 (four years ago) link
any nice skincare stuff I have, I slather on my partner. I have to look at him every day; he needs to preserve his beauty.
― Yerac, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
hopefully he doesn't find my past internet search history for 'harvesting skin tissue"
― Yerac, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 13:38 (four years ago) link
Hair varies a fair amount from person to person. Baldness is also more common among men.
Same goes for armpits. When it's steaming hot out, you can certainly tell the difference between my wife and me, and I'm hardly a profuse perspirer to begin with.
YMMV, of course.

I mean, yeah we share some things sometimes but I guess there are things that I’m just crazy about like e.g. SheaMoisture foaming face wash is my religion.

I’m really “sensitive” towards smells or whatever too

the shower in one of my college-era bathrooms had a distinctly floral smell due to one (male) roommate who preferred herbal essences shampoo
the market segmentation of MAN products has led to a weird reconfiguration of stores where there's now two separate aisles with deodorant, meaning retailers have to choose whether brands that were relatively gender-neutral (in their marketing) get stocked in two aisles or one. I'm guessing there'll be a reversal in marketing and organization in a few years
― untuned mass damper (mh), Wednesday, 31 July 2019 17:34 (four years ago) link
They should organize deodorant by scents and strength. I don't buy or regularly use deodorant so will use my spouse's if it's an extreme need. He tries to buy stuff that the smell doesn't repel me since I am at his armpit height anyway. But most deodorant smells like trash. It burns my eyes.
