I am younger than most here (I think--20) and started with higher end products just to keep a good complexion before I even started wet shaving. I know many of you are set in your ways about your "classic" products but have any of you tried any of the "new age" and higher end products? Is it just the idea of these new products don't work to well or is it just a stuck in your old ways type of situation? I personally use some Zirh and Anthony Logistics products for daily moisturizing and pre/post shave needs. I have a few OUTSTANDING products which I would recommend if anybody is interested.
I use Zirh, Peter Thomas Roth, Anthony Logistics, Ahava. The only thing I'm truly "traditional" about are the shave creams, soaps and witch hazel. You're right- there is a ton of good stuff out there (if you've got the bank account for em )
I don't think the majority of people here are stuck in their old ways. We've tried loads of products, and we tend to try those products which are recommended by fellow wetshavers. We have a lovely review section, if you'd like to review the products you are, or aren't, impressed with. Just make sure you don't start a second review thread for a product that already has a review thread. And, of course, you are always welcome to start discussion threads on products.
I use a line of products on my face that I would consider VERY new age. I will admit though like my colognes they are part of my secret regime so I won't give up names without a fight! :angry037 Anyway, back to the point, I use probably 5 or 6 things on my face along with the shaving regime and let me tell you if you find quality you will look AMAZING. My face was always nice but NEVER like this. I would never go back to no products or cheap stuff again. So I think on this matter old school is good (most of the time better) but some new age stuff works damn well too! In the end whatever makes you happy though, and whatever WORKS, new.. old.. doesn't matter.
Agreed. I've poured a TON of money into trying all these new brands. I think its about time we all talk about something besides our classic products and get the word out. Hopefully if we can all share our experiences about these products maybe we can all give some a try and possibly find some new wonderful things out there. I've got a list of zirh and anthony logistics products which I love and hate. Once I finish up around the house I'll start posting some reviews of them. AND!!!! Both anthony logistics and Zirh make trial packs of many of their products so you can give them a try without completely killing your wallet.
p.s. I enjoy my ever evolving nick name (super speedy at the moment). I'm a college student. That doesn't leave me much time to sleep, but I ALWAYS have internet access Thank you moderators.
btw, we have all, atleast those of us who pay attention, have heard of Anthony Logistics and Zirh. Some have even tried them. I don't think anyone ever "raves" about the products though. I couldn't find any reviews for any of their products, in our review section.
I have heard of Zirh from a good friend of mine who absolutely swears by the stuff. Said it was top quality all around.
Well I do rave about some of their products. I'll have to rave about them in the review section later tonight.
Not sure which products you like or don't, but for $10 I can get 120ml of Anherb Aftershave conditioner compared to Zirh's 100ml Soothe postrolleyes-shave treatment for $30. Anherb is an absolutely fabulous aftershave, and at 1/3 the price, too.
I for one don't have a need for high end new age products. My face has never felt better, never been as healthy as it is today. All I did was change the way I shave and change the products I use none of which are new age. My "old ways" give me the results I want and I do not kill my wallet either. Raf
