Men's S&B Products

[hz80408]

Out of curiousity (and boredom); what S&B products does your man like/use?

[bimbi284]

My H uses an old fashioned straight razor to shave, so he's a bit of a product snob now, haha.

He likes Kiehl's, Jack Black, and Kyoku (his fave shaving cream) mostly. He likes American Crew hair products.

For jeans, his favorites are 7fam and Paige

He's on the smaller side, so he likes shopping at Express for dress shirts, since they fit him well and have french cuff (he's a cuff link whore). He also likes Ben Sherman and Penguin shirts.

ETA: He also likes shopping at H&M since the sizing works for him well. Kenneth Cole and Calvin Klein make nice suits and the smaller sizes fit him well.

Bimb- your H sounds adorable!

My H is pretty basic, but I've introduced him to 7AM and COH jeans. He's a fairly low maintenance man when it comes to products though; although he does has a watch obsession. I also like Sanuk's, which I do not.

My H has *really* hesitated with me suggesting products while we're at the store, but the last few years, I started just buying travel sizes and now he's hooked

My H loves Kiehls ultimate man body scrub (soap) and their ultimate brushless shave cream (he likes using it as a lotion post-shave, too)

I've bought him Anthony by Logistics (or something like that) in the past and he liked that as well.

He always asks me to buy the things. I think he's too embarrassed to buy it himself. Ridiculous

My H, too! The few times I can get him excited about shopping (although I think he likes shopping compared to the other guys I know)

Has your H (or anyone elses) tried products from The Art of Shaving?

Yeah, he likes some of the Art of Shaving stuff too!

Yes. This is where it started... It's a pretty good deal and decent product. Dh then went to the straight razor and trying different products as well, but he still prefers some of the stuff from AoS. Don't think he'll ever go back to the mach3/cheap foam.

He also does coh and 7famk jeans. Dress shoes are $$$ custom order. Oh and then there's watch collection.

[karebear304]

My H is very low maintenance, but he likes the C.O. Bigelow stuff from Bath & Body a lot. Particularly their shaving cream (I think he likes the can better than the roll up one).

He ends up not using anything else I get him.

[lauren0319]

My husband loves the Art of Shaving products!!

[eightangryreindeer]

I used to get Nigel Clinique stuff but I got him a Kiehl's shaving gift box for Christmas and he's never looked back, he loves all of it and I must say his skin looks amazing and he's getting much closer shaves.

Nivea makes a For Men line if you're looking for a drugstore brand, he's tried some of their stuff and liked it, too.

[billysgirl07]

Whatever we have a coupon for - he will use. For Christmas, I'll get him a "fancy" (and by fancy, I mean CO Bigelow from BBW) shower gel to put in his stocking but that's about it.

DH bites his nails - like WAY down, it's pretty gross. Forget him ever getting a manicure.

[315bride]

My H loves the Jack Black face lotion with SPF. I get him a big bottle at Xmas.

He also likes the Bigelow shaving cream in the green tube. He uses that on his head. I think he uses Aveeno shaving gel too. He has several regular razors that he uses. Plus an electric. Shaving his face and head is like a total ritual.

Plain old Chapstick in the blue stick. He buys them in bulk at Costco.

Mine too. It has the highest SPF (20) I have found in a men's lotion.

He uses the new Gillette Fusion power razor with Edge extra moisturizing shave gel.

His favorite jeans are Lucky 181s and his favorite shirts are RL custom fit polos.

That said, he also likes Old Navy cargos (shorts and pants), Life is Good and Crazy Shirts t-shirts and has 2 pairs of Crocs (1 flip flop, 1 clog for mowing the lawn and walking the dog in the early AM). Most of his work pants are from Kohls, his work shirts are a mix of brands. I also cut his hair bc he is lazy and we are both cheap.

My H is pretty low maintenance. He has (finally) started using SPF on his face (he's got fair skin). He uses Cetaphil's Oil Control Moisturizer spf30, Aveda Men's hair pomade, and he's pretty happy with his Express jeans (most of his clothes are there).

He has been giving hints he'd like to try 7fam since I love my jeans.

[Deleted]

Drugstore everything. I'm pretty sure he uses the same Irish Spring bar he uses on his body to wash his face. He does occasionally dip into my moisturizer in the winter.

For clothing, I introduced him to J. Crew b/c it's the only stuff I can find w/ sleeves long enough. He's 6'5" with orangutan arms.

[niknik]

He loves Cetaphil moisturizer with SPF 15, Fiji shower gel, Garnier surf hair, whatever shaving gel for sensitive skin that's on sale and he wears Angel.

Clothes, he likes 7FAM, COS, Diesel, and Joe's. He also likes surf brands, Penguin, JCrew. He wears a Nixon watch. Shoes, he wears Converse, Diesel, Pumas, Fryes, Asics, Rainbows and he has a pair of Keen shoes for work.

[anaps28]

H uses the Fresh shaving cream and he also took over my Clarin's face moisturizer.

[maucat]

MH uses Paula's Choice skin balancing lotion with SPF 15 b/c it doesn't smell like sunscreen. I got him using Olay sensitive skin foaming face wash and he also uses my Aveeno skin relief body wash. He uses an electric razor.

As far as clothes, he buys most of his stuff from Men's Wearhouse. I supplement with Hugo Boss shirts and he has a nice selection of fancy ties, courtesy of me and my parents. He has some Penguin brand stuff and I think if there were a store around here he'd probably have more. He's not picky about shoes or casual clothes, but I think it comes from years and years of having trouble finding things that fit (6'3", size 13 feet, slender).

[fashionx]

DH isn't into fashion *at all*. He shaves maybe 2-3 times a month, he likes having a beard a lot of the time, lol. He dresses nice for work, but gets most of his work clothes from Kohl's, JCPenny or Macy's. Even those he doesn't get new stuff for himself very often. On his own time he wears jeans or khaki pants, those often come from Kohl's, or an outdoors store like Gander Mountain, etc. I'll buy him nicer Old Navy jeans sometimes and he likes those. The only thing he's picky about is his shoes. He likes Floersheim's and Bostonian for work/dress shoes, Sketchers for casual.

He does like the men's line from BBW, so when I try to get that for him. But otherwise he'll use whatever. He uses hair gel and spray sometimes. He uses Axe gel, and he'll steal my Redken hairspray.

My H and I were also just discussing last night how he doesn't wash his face or his head. Just water, I guess. I can't even imagine this.

[Deleted]

He likes Jack Black Beard Lube, Anthony Logistics for face wash/moisturizer. He came home the other day with some eye cream. He uses facial masks more often than I do and completely hijacked the olay clarsonic dupe.
