Shampoo
I shower and shave every other day with a washcloth/basin cleanup in between.
When I shower I clean my hair/scalp twice. First I use Chagrin Valley Butter Bar Conditioner Shampoo Bar. These bars last a very long time:
I gently use a scalp scrubber with it:
Then I use WEN Tea Trea Cleansing Conditioner and use my hands to massage it in a bit and leave it in for the remainder of my shower. This stuff is Cetyl Alcohol based and I just love it. Its stupid-expensive but I use very little as I keep my hair quite short. I use a fraction of what the directions indicate:
I own a supply of American Crew Citrus Mint Refreshing Shampoo and American Crew Citrus Mint Cooling conditioner. They have a pleasant scent and work well enough but I stopped using anything with Sodium Laureth Sulfate so I put these in the guest bathrooms. Both are also loaded with Yellow #10. I've gotten very picky about ingredients lately.
Not trying to poison my guests but I hate to throw it away as I purchased several 32-oz bottles of each.

I've realised you have to get a 'clean' shampoo' to begin with; sodium laurel sulfate and silicone are the two big bad boys I'm avoiding. I just tried a sample of Leonor Greyl. The stuff is wonderfull. I had just returned from a shorter haircut and after showering was promptly accused of colouring my hair. The only problem is price @ $65
Holy smoke! That's got to be some good shampoo.KAV wrote:I've realised you have to get a 'clean' shampoo' to begin with; sodium laurel sulfate and silicone are the two big bad boys I'm avoiding.

Just recently I picked up a bar of J.R. Liggetts shampoo at Merz, been using on a daily basis and have to say it seems to work quite well. Here is a link -

I've gotten good results so far using Woody's Daily Shampoo. Most notable is that is doesn't dry out my hair, which unfortunately the Pinaud Clubman Country Club was guilty of. The scent is much more subtle, also. I can find this locally and the price is competitive with the Clubman, bought online.
There's also a Woody's Shave Lather, which is advertised as a "self lathering cream which thinks it's an aerosol foam." Hmm. I think I'll pass on this for now, but if anyone has tried it, do tell.

Wendell, thanks for the heads up about the Bath & Body Works shampoo. My wife likes to frequent that store, and I've written down the name of it for the next shopping trip !

Following up, the (Bath and Body Works) "Energy" Orange and Ginger Aromatherapy shampoo ($10) is excellent.

I've been using the Mr. Taylor shampoo for the last couple of weeks; it shampoo works fine but isn't quite as nice Nancy Boy. The scent is stronger than the cologne but it diesn't linger so that's not a problem. It's funny- I like the scent in the cologne but am not quite so crazy about it in the shampoo.
Best,
Chris
