Looking for recommendations for men's grooming stuff

2026-03-06 15:52 UTC

This feels wrong posting this here, but I could not find a sub to do this in, so feel free to point me in the right direction. My dad was an Old Spice Guy, I am an Old Spice Guy, but I am done with P&G and what I think is poisonous and wasteful products. I am looking for recommendations for organic safe healthy body washes, lotions for dry dark skin and deodorants. I’ve not had to look for anything other brands for over 25 years, so this feels overwhelming. I just tried Native, and that won’t work, so, please, any directions to point me to? Thanks.

Recently switched to Harry’s. I like the body wash. No complaints.

I think I found your answer in the post right under yours.

Not sure if they’re everywhere, but around here you just go to the local farmer’s market and find the old hippy who makes soap. You buy the soaps you enjoy the smell of and use those. Basic ingredients that are much nicer on your skin, and usually last longer. Bar soap works well for lather with shaving if you don’t use an electric raiser as well. Haven’t found a good deoderant yet, all the ones that are better for the skin don’t seem to work well. At least, every person who’s told me about their healthier deodorant has smelled of bo.

A good trick is to try samples. A lot of brands or retailers will do sample packs. The Razor Co has a dedicated sample section. www.therazorcompany.com/collections/samples

CeraVe is the only skin-care company afaik whose products are developed by dermatologists, and are consistently highly rated by dermatologists. They have good scentless moisturizers, lotions with sunscreen, retinol, shampoos, conditioners.

There’s these sort of crystal things you can use instead of deodorant. You rub them on your pits when they wet and they don’t produce any smell but block the bad ones. I used one for a while, it was good.
