Proraso "green" (Menthol & Eucalyptus) contains Witch Hazel among other things and although I'm not a big fan of menthol in general, nor this particular scent is among my favorites, I got to say it is one of the very best aftershaves I have ever used. There is a slight burn (well this depends on whether one scraps skin or shaves whiskers), followed by a mild menthol chill sensation and then it just settles down as a soothing, calming goody and feels very nice. I really like the Proraso green splash.I use Proraso preshave, alum, splash. That pretty much covers my skin care routine. I used to use witch hazel but I've kinda forgot about it since acquiring the Dart.
Lately I’ve been glancing through some of the posts talking about “skin care”.
I got to admit, I was totally blown away by the sheer amount of stuff some people use daily.
Without quoting, one guy went to explain his daily routine as smth. like this:
- Wash face with face-wash something
- Apply face scrub, exfoliating something
- Rinse face
- Apply pre-shave oil
Lather, shave, then finish by applying:
- Aftershave splash
- Hyaluronic acid
- Face moisturizer
- Aftershave balm
And there I was reading the post, totally bewildered. I was like WTH is this dude on?
Then I’ve read through another post where guys (guys??) discuss night creams and differences in thickness and texture of those creams and go on to debate at length why it is / is not a good idea to wear a tick night cream during the day.
So, IDK if it’s me, maybe I’m old-fashioned or overly simplified guy, but I wholeheartedly believe that all the “skin care” a man needs is a daily shave with a quality soap/cream and a good splash in the end.
At least that’s what I do…
Don’t read too much in to David’s post. I think he was just surprised and is trying to understand. I don’t think he intended to be judgmental.What happened to YMMV mate? One of the reasons I like this little corner of the internet is because of YMMV. Your post seems a little judgemental and kind of breaks the sacred YMMV doesn't it? Especially the "guys??" addition seems a little intolerant of any type of gender difference. I am not a bleeding heart liberal, frankly I am pretty middle of the road with all my beliefs, but I do like being nice to people, and I thought everyone here was equally nice to people too.
If you are lucky to have skin that doesn't need anything more than your simple skin care routine, you are just that, lucky. Some people have way less easy skin to manage and need different things to help them make their skin the best it can be, and their shave as enjoyable as it can be too. After all, that is why we all ended up here isn't it, to enjoy shaving whatever it takes.
I'd say intentionally judgmental, condescending and antagonistic. If someone is genuinely curious, then ask. The only questions I saw in the original post was "WTH is this dude on?" and "(guys??)". At least that's how I perceived the original post irregardless of what the intent was, but as we all know, YMMV.Don’t read too much in to David’s post.

What happened indeed?What happened to YMMV mate?
As they say brother - perception is reality. I can't change yours... not that I want to, just to be clear... At least that's how I perceived the original post irregardless of what the intent was, but as we all know, YMMV.
No worries, it was my perception of your post and not you as a person. I'm sure you're a nice guy, regardless of what everyone else tells me.As they say brother - perception is reality. I can't change yours... not that I want to, just to be clear
Gotta get me some of that.I will not go into details. This has been developed by @camoloc and myself after many months of research and scientific testing. Once the world patents are fully registered, more will be revealed.
For the time being I can tell you that it involves applying an overnight face mask basically consisting of fresh goat manure, ground and mixed with ice-cold seawater and an aftershave balm whose main constituent is fermented salami paste rubbed well in.
I think it's time to initiate YKMV, Your Kilometers MV, as well in the spirit of inclusion.What happened indeed?
Your MMV and so my MMV. All good here
Have a great shave - have a great day, as GFB always says.
Well then, I'll be the first one to opt for the YNMMV, as I really love the ocean, so nautical miles if you ask me. There ya have it!I think it's time to initiate YKMV Your Kilometers MV as well in the spirit of inclusion.
I've been a long time happy user of Cerave's regular moisturizer and their face wash. I recently decided it would be a good idea to add in some SPF and I started to try out Cerave's version of it. I keep finding that part way through the day my eyes are stinging, and I think the lotion is to blame. Have you had any issues like this?I think it's largely experimental for a lot of guys, they see all these products out there and want to get a taste for all of them
I've become minimalist with skin care and I think my skin is happier for it. The less I disturb it, the better it looks. Tallow based soap (usually), cold water rinse, SV aftershave gel balm stuff and maybe a little Cerave moisturizer with SPF protection, shea butter or avocado oil. Sometimes I'll apply a thicker moisturizer before bed; if I apply it in the morning, I'll sweat from my face like crazy
Works for me and outside of shaving is probably 30 seconds of actual work. Always am assumed to be about ten years younger
The more I'm thinking about it, I like the Belgian Mile. It's a yard shorter.Well then, I'll be the first one to opt for the YNMMV, as I really love the ocean, so nautical miles if you ask me. There ya have it!
