Recommend your favorite shampoo

[hdhaskell]

Let's say for the sake of argument that I'm a fussy retrosexual, who probably likes things that are unnecessarily traditional (like natural scents and metal tubes) and is tired of things that are mass-produced, live in plastic bottles, and are easily found in any supermarket. What shampoo would you recommend for such a man? Hypothetically speaking.

I love Nancy Boy shampoo. A little goes a long way and it smells great.

Of course there is also Trumpers if you want to be really traditional. But it appears their shampoo may suck from the few reviews I've seen.

Not the answer you were hoping for, but.............



Axe Primed Just Clean shampoo


That's right; it works great; even my hairdresser who sells fancy stuff is impressed

I like Mama Bear's Rosemary Mint shampoo.

If I only could find a way to get this over to The Netherlands a bit less expensive it would probably be my everyday shampoo.

Go with the Pinaud Clubman. The price is right and you cannot beat the scent.

suave clarifying and gillette conditioner for me. the clarifying gets out all the brilliantine i put in my hair while the conditioner has as masculine a scent that i could want among the cheapies.

I'm using Aubrey Organics Blue Chamomile hydrating shampoo. Works great on my fine, normal-to-oily hair. I find that, for a detergent-free shampoo, it lathers quite nicely. To me, the scent is nothing less than intoxicating.

Speaking of rosemary mint - my fiancee just got some of this stuf Suave Rosemary Mint - SMELLS AMAZING.

D. R. Harris makes some pretty old school shampoos - so old school they come in a solid cream form and don't even lather. Just scoop 'em out, rub 'em in, and rinse 'em out. Conditioners to match. Scents are lemon and coconut. (They also make a couple liquid shampoos, but those may just be too nouveau for you. )

If you like old school,
try Allepo soap, it's around since 3000 years.
It perform great as a body soap and shampoo.
It's made of olive oil and bay laurel oil.

American Crew - really good stuff.

I have a bar of Nettle shampoo coming from Chagrin Valley, thanks to the posts here.

 

[ALL HANDS WORKING]

Lush Sea Salt shampoo. Comes in a little tub, has sea salt as one very visible ingredient, and smells terrific.

hmm...do you think the "shampoo" could be used as a shave cream also?

Your thread title asks one question and your post asks quite another.


The answer to your thread title, as far as I'm concerned, is L'Oreal EverPure shampoo. Best shampoo I've ever used, period.


The answer to your post's question is a little more difficult. Have you tried Truefitt and Hill shampoos?

It's possible, but hardly ideal. For one, it would only function as a brushless cream, since it produces zero lather. Also, it doesn't provide much cushion, and rinses easily, so you'd have to use a fair amount to get any protective effect. Given all the other truly good shaving options out there, I don't see much point in trying to make this into something it isn't. Having said that, the super-zingy lemon scent might be enough of a reason for Tool Time type shavers to give it a try anyway.
