Once you're married its all women's stuff, they just let you think its not.
"WTF is there a bowl of dead plants in my bathroom!"
"Its potpouri."
"WTF is there potpouri in my bathroom!"
"I like it."
"But its smells girly, in my bathroom!"
"I like it."
"But"
"Thats two" (metallic clicking sound)
"Erp, yes dear."
I use volumizing shampoo for women and other women's hair products. I have a few girls t-shirts too, but no one can ever tell. The curse of being scrawny.

I dunno, dude. I've been shaving with a "classic" 1960s Gillette double-sided safety razor since I was a teen. Maybe you should take up "wet" shaving, too...
Sure, you'll cut yourself from time to time, but buck up - that's what styptic (Alum) pencils are for!
Yep, used some body shop stuff before, a dewberry bath oil for a really nice bath after a walk, it smelt nice, like my girlfriend, so was great for slipping into and letting go, like my girlfr....
Seriously though folks... herbal essences is a-freaking-mazing. The experience is... you know what there is just too much perfume in this stuff, I feel like I should put some... hmmm, new shampoo .
Does women's deodorant actually work for dudes? Isn't their baby-powder or something in those? Marketing is an absolute trip... unless you are wearing bras and stuff .
Monty python to the rescue in the form of feminine bathing products... which actually sounds quite nice. The issue here is you could put the word feminine in front of anything and it will sound better.
Wait... Feminine John MCcain... epic epic fail, there are no words for that... wow, my vision is burnt, I am now brain-blinded.
Let me share this experience with you, so that I can take a bit of the burden of my brain.
HOLY SNIZZAP, Sarah Palin is a frakking fox... is this really her?
The other night I soaked my feet in a bowl filled with Pomegranite (sp?) bath salts the gf got for christmas. It was awesome. I also use all of her expensive hair conditioner, gotta get my shine on.

Picture to what you are talking about please???
Im trying to picture in a house , there is supposed to be holes on the floor? where the heck does it flow to?
then someone said even in cali too , ( what on earth? its not bullet hole is it? ) i thought only 3rd world countries
have holes as toilets . and thats out side! ( or did i miss something totally )
I dyed my hair red a couple times. also i've only recently started using "mens" shampoo/conditioner because hair and body wash is more efficcient (only gotta carry one bottle across the girls floor to the bathroom), and apparantly it makes me smell purdy.
My deodorant is terrible. It smells like washing-machine powder. I can't understand why people like the smell of men's deodorant so much anyway, when it smells awfully bitter and nasty. I'm allergic to a lot of spray-on deodorant for some reason, I get this nasty red rash that doesn't itch but looks horrible.
I use hair conditioner at least once a week. They don't really make it for men so I have no choice but to use a woman’s brand. I also prefer allot of woman’s shower gels to Men’s. Nivea shower gel is really rather good and good value to boot.
Incidentally, here’s a useful trick for the men out there. If your planning on shaving in the morning have a shower beforehand and after washing your face take a generous blob of hair conditioner (make sure its the softening/moistening stuff not the strengthening variety) and rub it on your beard area. Leave it a couple of minutes and then rinse it off. Then shave normally. You should find the stubble comes off far more easily.
Also avoid shaving foam/gel from cans like the plague, use stuff from a tube or better yet cream and a brush, but I’m getting off topic here!
It's not technically a women's product anymore as they moved it out the women's section and started marketing it to men as they found a large number of males were buying it. If you've got a pair of balls and you've ever used it, you'll know why!

I've been guilty of using girly smelling body washes and shampoos. Herbal Essense is the schnizznit. I used some of my wife's pore cleaning stuff and my face felt surprisingly fresh.
When I run out of deodorant I use hers. It's kind of a girly smell, but it's not too bad.

Walls or no walls, that toilet beats the trough at most stadiums.
I use my wife's shampoo, soap, and/or body wash when I'm out.
Real men smell like meat and cheese, just like Artie, Howard Stern's drunk sidekick, in Elf.
The Original Hotdog Stand in Pittsburgh, PA men's room took it's inspiration from a naval vessel. The bathroom is cladded in stainless steel panels, stainless steel toilets, sinks, etc. I hope to one day build one just like it in my basement (with a stainless steel shower stall too). And when I need to clean it, I'll just load up the power washer with some bleach, and turn it on!
I'm sure i've used some women's stuff from time to time, but my last serious girlfriend was both very girly and very particular about gender roles. She actually bought me all kinds of clinique face washes and stuff for men. I liked it.
Thanks to my GF I have a nice selection of pretty smelling hand soaps and body washes and this super expensive hand cream that comes in little tubs. I think it was her trying to find a nice way to say I have dry skin and gamer stink.
Dandruff man here uses Head and Shoulders.
I've had to use other shampoos before. More than 3 or 4 times, and it looks like I've been snowed on. LOL So, no girly products there.
As for feminine items... no matter how loose your "stool" is, tampons are NOT worth the loss of dignity.
As for shaving, I don't use ANY product. Just my trusty Bic disposable. Sometimes, I wet my face first, but I don't use shaving cream at all.
Real men DRY SHAVE!
I've been dry shaving since I was about 16 or so. Never bled once.
Well... once, as a kid, I nicked a huge pimple. It bled like a bi-atch. Regular shaving, though... never.
That's 32 years.
I dry shave or just splash some water on my face and go from there, picked it up during my failed attempt at the military and kept doing it. Figured it would be useful for when I try take two.

Doesn't anyone else dry shave? Seriously?
Eric
I do...in fact I use stuff the dries my face out and makes the whiskers stand up....of course I use an electric shaver so water would make the event a bit "shocking" if you know what I mean.
Cheese Elemental wrote:I'd rather not run the risk of cutting myself, thank you. I'll stick to my nice cream and safety razors.
There's no more risk of cutting yourself when dry shaving (or only using water) than there is with all the other stuff involved.
I have at it pretty haphazardly when I'm shaving. I go as fast as I can to get it done. Like I said, never cut myself once.
Okay... I asked for a freaking robot, I am not pleased with the outcome of this transaction.
Damn marketing... There is nothing like a real shave with a... yeah a safety razor, so what.
I have always wanted to learn how to use a classic razor, like this one... yep the scary one right beneath this set of explanatory and etc... sentences.
Sexy eh? . It will go very nicely with my outfit.
Sorry I meant this outfit.
All I need to do now is smoke a cigar when I shave... then I can figure out how to make a razor chainsaw shaver apparatus, it will have many doodads and hickey-doowops. The most important feature of this concept is the chainsaw feature... I hope to see this technology available within the next 5 years.
Apparently electric shavers are basically chainsaw razors... hmm, technically they are more like hedge shears BUT I think that is a good thing since a market still exists for chainsaw razors in that respect. I may be on to something here, multi-purpose chainsaw razors for everyday use; trim your bonsai in your spare time with them, it works on pets, it works in tailoring... and it comes with a free lemonade dispenser signed by that guy that you see at the bus stop on Monday mornings.
Wash thoroughly and occasionally, rather than little and often. In time, you will develop a musk.
The hair on your head you may style, but not too much: appear too vain, and you'll start tongues wagging. You're only supposed to like that if a woman does it, so keep your style short, perhaps with a little wax or gel, but only ever refer to it as "stuff you put in your hair".
As for body hair, a trim (rather than a shave) is now acceptable for straight men in many parts of the world: but don't get caught plucking anything, and remember, should you ever be about to... you know... ugh... with a woman, don't start swapping tips with her, or the whole thing becomes too much like a Sandra Bullock film.
If shaving is demanded (by job or GIRLFRIEND) it should only be preformed every 5-7 days with soap and an old razor, beard trimming every 2-3 weeks(sideburns only when cutting hair with no.2 attachment). Under no circumstances should anything with "gel" in the name be used.
By dry shaving do people seriously mean taking a razor and literally just rubbing it over their face? No prep work at all? Seriously!? Well enjoy your rashes, nicks and sore skin then.
If you’re getting away with this I can only assume that you have puffy, teenage so called 'stubble' which is basically fluff. If you have actual stubble there is no way you can shave this way without an extreme amount of pain and irritation. None at all.
The best shave is done in the traditional fashion with a Brush, Cream or Soap and a Safety Razor. Old school FTW.
I'll use anything the mrs leaves lying about the place, especially womens anti-perspirant which doen't irritate like most other things. I don't use her conditioner though as I evolved past the need to have hair on my scalp some time ago.

Brush definitely, I would also suggest shaving oil (best kept secret in the land), superior in all respects to foam/soap. It costs a few quid, but is well worth it.

Wait thats not possible. Are you saying British men shave with razors, without shaving cream/oil or even water? I tried that once, damn near didn't survive.
whatwhat wrote:Mate, tons of people "dry shave." I'd say the vast majority (in the uk at least) of men do that or at most only use water.
Nonsense.
You reckon? I don't think it's nonsense. Most men I meet either use electric shevers or your standard blade with a cup of warm water. Hardly anyone I know off feths around with shaving cream/foam/gel/whatever.

Ok this I could see. But not dry shaving. OUIE OUIEE!
The only thing the foam/cream does is let the hairs slip through so they don't catch the blade meaning you wont pull at them. If you do it properly this doesn't happen.

I don't quite think that this is the site for your boasting of your man meeting although it is way OT so maybe!
I see what you mean about electric shavers and one of my mates did just use water to shave with, but he was a muppet and would complain about his face being too sore for aftershave (smelly git). I don't really see what bother there is to wet shaving rather than dry unless you are a soap dodger, which lets face it with the wargaming demographic is entirely probable.
I do however use an electric shaver regularly but even then it is for wet use, I find it to be quicker, but less accurate. Re why use foam/soap/oil then it is purely for lubrication and possibly softening of the bristle. I dont buy into the holding up the hairs stuff the manufacturers come out with though.

Ok so aside from calling me gay (btw hahahahahaNO), you're saying people who don't use shaving cream smell and are "soap dodgers." You do know that by using shaving cream you're not saving yourself from having to wash your face, most people do that aswell mate.
The main bother is getting shaving cream all over the place.
Sorry old man couldn't resist, the inference worked for me on so many levels!
For some reason I wet shaved (with a disposable razor) this morning for the first time in months and pur a 1" gash in my cheek, something I hadn't noticed until I had bleed all over my freshly ironed shirt! Late for work again, not great in a recession!

I just use whatever razor I can find, bic, gillette, machete, I don't care. I just put it in hydrochloric acid and then begin shaving. Don't get any on your shirt though, it'll stain.
I use disposable razors and whatever soap I have on hand, never use shaving cream or oil. And I shave in the shower, no mirror at all and I never miss a spot!
I use manly soap to wash and girly shampoo. I shave with a razor and foam once a week and electric the rest if I shave at all. I also use axe spray and deodorant to attract the wimins it has not worked like the commercials I call false advertisement.

You're doing it wrong.
"Clean shirt, new shoes
"And I don't know where I am goin' to.
"Silk suit, black tie,
"I don't need a reason why.
"They come runnin' just as fast as they can,
"Coz every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man."
Do you have any idea how much a silk suit costs I have a silk shirt just a shirt and it ran about $80. A suit would run in the upper hundreds to low thousands.
I play with toys that suck up my money and wear Levi's and said ^ shirt to get the wimins but no tackling by them or that nonsense.
sonofruss wrote:Do you have any idea how much a silk suit costs
Not appreciably more than any other well-made, well-fitted suit of high-quality materials.
My current favorite suit would cost me well over $1k USD to replace at current prices with same quality.
Actually, I've been planning to buy a silk jacket on my next trip to Hong Kong or China for dressy casual wear, like a sport jacket. But this thread of discussion has me thinking to add a white-tie ensemble for formal occasions, something like this:
That might be quite nice, and is definitely worth saving some cash for.

By day... he is a ninja... yes, he fights at night to fight for right... and snackies too, he fights for snackies.
I've only ever used girl shampoo and conditioner. It leaves my hair super soft, it's even softer than my girlfriends hair and she can never stop snuggling/petting me.
So true.
