Thread: Shower Gel, &c.?

Hi,

I know this isn't the 100 percent accurate place to put this but I wanted to make sure it was seen by as many as possible.

My grocery story recently stopped carrying my favorite shower gel so I have tried a couple of other brands to disastrous results.

Admittedly, I am kind of a snooty purist with a longing for stuff from the past but, really, this supermarket-grade crap is terrible and I just refuse to go to work smelling like a teenager anticipating amorous intimacy on his first date.

Therefore, does anyone have any recommendations for some really nice smelling soap or shower gel? I don't mind modern scents at all but, surely, there is an economically sensible alternative to buying the $50.00 shower gel scented with my favorite cologne.

Thanks,



Derek

I like these from classic shaving Men's Bath & Body Essentials

They come in a variety of scents, not too overpowering, and the bar lasts me several weeks, much longer than a bottle of shower gel would.

Hello, DerekW:

Tron8251's suggestion for Pre de Provence is sound. Their soaps are high quality and good for the skin. I also recommend L'Occitane soaps and gels and Provence Sante Verlaine soaps. All these fine products are loaded with shae butter and have subtle scents that are quite pleasing.

Obie

I like Bronnley products, and got mine from here (while the € was still strong against the GBP): The Gentleman's Shop Ltd Bath & Shower Products.

Great, thanks, guys! I'll give 'em a whirl!

i'm happy with my dr. bronners.. almond scent.

I really like Fragonard...Santal especially is excellent. But they are expensive, so for meat least it tends to be an indulgence rather than for everyday use.
