I've realised I've been using the same products for over 20 years - king of shaves gel, Nivea post shave moisturiser. Add into that some L'Oréal moisturiser and you have it.

But without going all GQ, am I missing out on anything?

Thus WITHOUT telling me they are all the same, what are your go to products?

Nivea sport shower gel - I live in a hard water area and it is the only thing that gets 'soapy'

Used to use L'Oréal men expert 24hr aftershave cream but they've stopped selling it so currently using Bulldog moisturiser.

Fish texturising hair cream

Sure invisible ice deodorant

Original Source Mint and Tea Tree shower gel, the one that tingles on your balls.

St Ives Apricot face scrub, the original one.

Whatever shampoo the Mrs has brought.

Head and Shoulders shampoo. Been using it for decades and it's available everywhere in the world.

Sure deodorant for the same reason, not fussy on which flavour.

Cool Water aftershave, but looking for a more modern replacement. I don't wear aftershave often.

Mine are very basic,

L'oreal roll on deodorant
L'oreal or Dove shower gel

I do have a gilette razor and Gillete shaving foam but I usually just go over my facial hair with a beard trimmer at the shortest setting and leave it at that and that way I don't have to bother with aftershave balms, I have a Nivea one in the cupboard with the razor for the rare occasion I do bother to shave but usually have a stubble.

I have a number of Eau de Toilette's only really use it on day's i'm not at work so it has built up a lot with Xmas presents and Birthdays etc.

King of Shaves gel is a really good product not sure why you would want to change it.

I can't seem to find the gel refill pouches anywhere.

Organic unrefined shea butter. About £6 for 500g on Ebay or Amazon, lasts about a year. Take a small amount, rub is between your palms until it melts into an oil, apply to skin.
Replaces all moisturisers and skin creams.

I try to use different brands but steer away from the generic stuff. One I love is Body Shop White Musk shower gel but its been re-formulated (veganised) so I'm on the last of my good stuff before I find something similar
