Okay so I'll make the short list of products I love and hate. Daily Face Wash: AL Facial Scrub-Great to use 2x a week to remove dead skin cells. LOVE IT AL Glycolic Facial Cleanser- Use it every morning and night. Its a non foaming facial cleanser and works great to get all the dirt and grime off your face. Zirh Clean- A great mentholated foaming facial cleanser which is also wonderful to wake up to. It is an alpha-hydroxy type facial cleanser. Preshave: Zirh Prepare- it does what it should. Over priced. 16$ for preshave oil... spend it somewhere else Shaving Cream (non-brush) AL Shave Cream- This stuff actually works very well. I used to use it when I was in a rush and didnt have time for a full shave with a brush. Best non-brush shave cream out there IMO. Zirh Shave Gel- Its okay, nothing to write home about. Zirh Shave Cream Tub- VERY mentholated. Burns my face if I leave it on to long. If your obsessed with menthol and sometimes use a mach3 or some other sort of razor, give it a try. After Shave Balms: Anthony Logistics- A great after shave moisturizer. Keeps your face bbs all day long. You wont dry out and get ashy during the day. Great if you get razor burn or your face burns because it has a topical anesthetic in it I use it daily after shaving. Zirh Smooth- Another wonderful product. It doesn't last as long as the AL ASB . I would recommend the AL ASB over this any day. Daily Moisturizing: Zirh Correct + Protect: THE BEST LONG LASTING BBS MOISTURIZER I HAVE EVER USED. The correct vitamin serum fixes the blemishes on your face while the protect keeps you moisturized all day long. AL Oil Free Facial Lotion: Its good. But it wont keep you moisturized all day during these cold winter months.
Bang for the Buck Totally. Fer sure. I only half joke when I say, "I dont pay retail". I'm always on the lookout for quality products at bargain prices. That said..... I have tried several Anthonys, Baxters and other "new age" products that were either gifted to me or acquired by trade. I found them, in general, to be adequate but not mind blowing.
The only product I truly find mind blowing is the daily moisturizer combo of zirh correct and protect.

Hmmm... I don't know, but this stuff ain't for me. I'm not willing to pay 30$ (or, rather 40€ with shipping) for some fancy product. As far as my face is concerned: If it's allright, I use nothing. If it needs some treatment, a dab of Shea Butter will fix me up for good. I guess I'm an old-methods-guy. But everybody has to find what works best for him
If you e-mail them you might be able to get samples. I'm not sure what it does to free radicals but it sure does fix just about anything on my face
AAAaaawwwww! I thought this thread was about new age shaving products like shaving with pyramids and transendental meditation aftershave. I got new age crystals hanging all over the place and I am not talking alum crystals either. Whatever phase of the moon you prefer to do your shaving in is fine. The age of aqaurius has plenty of moisture and lubrication to go around. Just remember, sometimes the new age stuff is the tried, tested, and true stuff!
Agreed. The zirh correct is a vitamin syrup that you apply over your whole face and than you apply zirh protect over it. Somehow, the correct fixes my blemishes, shaving accidents, and any other problem I have with my face while the protect keeps me moisturized all day. Somebody try it before you all think im crazy :ashamed001 Also, the protect has sun block in it to help protect your face free of harmful UV rays. Dont use the protect after shaving though, as sun tan lotion does burn like hell.
Korres also makes some good products. The Absinthe Men's Shave cream is actually quite nice, so is the Ginseng and Marigold after shave balm. http://www.sephora.com/browse/brand_hierarchy.jhtml?brandId=5715&searchString=korres I'll second the Zirh and AL products. The AL shave gel is probably my favorite shaving gel or cream. I haven't tried the Protect and Correct, I'll have to do that.
A big plus 1 on the anherb. Under 10 bucks and menthol too! It is great to have a second supplier in case one goes on vacation.
