Well I'm boring... Dial soap, finesse or really whatever shampoo I like the smell of on any given day, unscented deodorant.. no cologne or other products really.

I’ve always used Men’s Speedstick deodorant. I’ve been trying different smells, but the one I’m currently really loving is called “Glacier”.
As for shampoo, I recently bought a bottle of EveryManJack, and I really love it. It doesn’t have the stereotypically masculine scent, but it smells very minty. As for bar soap, I recently found a fair-trade company called Dr. Bronner’s; the one I got is also very minty, I love it.
I use Old Spice Swagger body wash and Swagger shampoo. Although, I'm going with Suave shampoo after I finish the Swagger. I use the Old Spice Swagger deodorant. I, also, have some bath and body works Noir body wash. I have an assortment of body sprays and colognes for the final layer of scent.
Uh oh... I had no idea I was so "girlie." :p lol
Shampoo / Conditioner ... Aussie's
Deodorant ... Secret (Shower Fresh)
Face... Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil With Vitamin E - Rose-hip Fragrance Yes, I just said all that. lol
Lotion ... I mix Gold Bond's Ultimate Healing and Gold Bond's Ultimate Radiance Renewal. Both moisturize very well and the second adds a hint of cocoa butter scent.
Cologne ... none at this time
Something happened in my late teens / early 20's where the products I was using (mostly men's) started to make me break out and/or started to smell just awful ... a change in my chemistry? Shrug! :blink:

I'll use it every once and a while, but the brand I've been using is Garnier Fructis matte; the one I have is called "Surf Hair". I've never found it to be too greasy, but then again, I haven't used a lot of different brands to compare it to.

I got a new hair styling product got2be by Schwarzkopf, and I think I like it better than the garnier one. The new one's not...wet. I don't know how to put it, but it's...dry, I like it, and it smells good too.

I tried the Tom's brand. I wasn't happy with it.

This is the latest hair product for me. It also works as a dry shampoo, so it's not oily at all. The hold is great and I'm surprised how I like the gritty, beach sand feel to it. Really easy to work with; I don't have to wash my hands after using it.

Aquage Transforming Paste is my go to, though, regardless of how long the top gets. I've used it for a few years now and have a tube in every bathroom.

I use a quartz deodorant; can't get much more natural than that. It took some getting used to but in the 20 or so years, I can probably count on one hand the number of times it didn't stop odor. Any other deodorant feels gross heavy now.

Found those natural deodorants (crystal type) didn't work for me. Especially on T, I don't dare.
For years, I have depended on my Mitchum triple odor protection
unscented gel roll on.
Has not failed me yet even after a weekend doing nothing but watching college hoops and sleeping.

Most natural deodorants have propylene glycol in it, even though its aluminiun free.
So I think I'm gonna end up breaking down and buying online. After I use up my last deodorants.

If anyone’s looking for aftershave/cologne products, Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein smells really nice.

I have switched products again!
I am back to using bar soap, mild formula, dove mens comfort care.
Also I am finding that the white stick deodorants no longer work on me, I have better luck with the blue colored sticks of deodorant or the gels.
The only thing that works for me now is old spice deodorants, dove soap and I still use my Cetaphil lotion on my face, still trying to find some decent men's lotion that doesn't irritate my skin.
I've never been able to use bar soaps... residue. I'm sure there's some out there that don't leave that feeling. I just gave up long ago.
I used to wear deodorant only products. Somewhere along the way I picked the habit of using ones with antiperspirant too ... which if I recall is the part that's not good for ya... aluminium I think. I keep meaning to go back to my old ways but keep forgetting to buy something different! Oy... habits are hard to break ... or start!

Yes habits are hard to breal but i got tired of the constant dryness from shower gels. They are great for scent but dried me out way bad.
Very true! There's something about gels that seems inherently drying … whether it's for the face, the body or the hair! :|
Have you tried any oils … to replenish moisture? I take really hot showers/baths/soaks. Hot water can be very drying. There are some light oil (e.g. sesame seed) type products that combat the dryness.

Those hair gels that seem to shrink the scalp. Only wear them when I must get this buzz cut to behave. Wash and oil immediately when getting home. Even Fresh and Clear (frag free) does this.
But, JDeere, have you tried Aveeno oatmeal treatments. They're supposed to work pretty well. Cetaphil cream is my best friend like others here.

Oils dont work well with my body for some reason but yes I have used Aveeno and i dont like it Lol
I use the cetaphil face lotion but prefer something different for the body.

I recently got another tin of pomade, House 99, and first impressions, it's quite nice. It doesn’t leave my hands super greasy (yes, I still need to get the “excess” off), and I find you don’t need to wait for it to set. Again, this is my first impressions, so after using it for a while my opinion may change. The only downside is that I think it’s quite expensive (I didn’t exactly look at the price tag, but I was a little shocked at the total) o_o

I am using Schmidt's Bergamot +Lime, I like it.
Not necessarily a butch product, per se, but I use Satsuma shower gel, which I get from The Body Shop - it smells like oranges.
I smell fruity, lol.
