Axe? Old Spice? Nivea? How about no?

Hello, Joseph here once again and I am here today to share with you all what, in my opinion, is the best men's shower gel on the market right now. Now for those of you who may not think about something like this, consider the fact that off of the top of your head which body washes, shower gels, and other men's hygiene products actually do their job? Like actually clean us up, leave a nice fragrance in our skin and provide us with a truly healthy, sanitary experience when we hop out of the shower? Most of us probably haven't given it too much thought, and it's not necessarily unexpected. I remember days when I was just fine "smelling" clean and fresh, thinking it was good enough. Truth is though, most of us probably don't really put much thought into what it is we're pouring onto our skin, and breathing in as the steam of a hot shower evaporates the soapy water we use, spreading it throughout the restroom. I mean you have Axe body spray and shower gels which honestly don't seem to do a whole lot but make us think we're clean after we use them. I mean do they actually clean the dirt out of our pores? Also I know you've been around the people I like to call "Axe Abusers". I mean no disrespect but the body spray alone can be irritating to the respiratory functions of a human being sometimes, and there's no mistaking a guy who is covered in Axe body spray when they're at the party, or in Starbucks, at a family gathering or other highly important event. Plus from what I've experienced ladies aren't usually too fond of it, perhaps it is a love hate relationship?


Anyway, before I get too far off topic, the fact is that Axe, while okay in my opinion, simply does not clean us effectively as men, nor does it fit into what I would consider a Professional man's hygiene product, I used it as a kid admittedly but I quickly found that it had no space in a respectable man's hygiene kit. What I can say though is that I have definitely come across 2 very amazing, high quality products that have uses in all capacity's of the average, and not so average man's life. I wish to share with you all these two wonderful products!




My number 1 pick for the best shower gel/Body wash for men is...



EVERY MAN JACK



Yup, it was tough but I had to choose this as my all time favorite and, in my opinion, the best body wash you can buy! It is the definition of professionalism, and true hygiene. The pros and con

Pros

1) This stuff truly gets you clean as it is specifically designed to clean deep into the pores and scrub away dead skin!

2) It smells phenomenal, trust me guys she will definitely enjoy the scent!

3) 100% All natural ingredients that means, no preservatives, no dies, and NO CHEMICALS!

4) Dermatologist approved and never tested on animals!


Con

1) Hard to find locally

Those were my reasons for picking EMJ as my number one, simply because of the amazing quality it offers. This shower gel smells absolutely amazing and I have never felt cleaner when using another body wash. This shower gel is 100% naturally derived. It's invigorating and flavorful scent is enough to make me a permanent customer, and the fact that I managed to get it while I was deployed to Afghanistan. Even in those extreme conditions of desert like mountainous terrain and standing guard in 120 degree heat inside of a tower this body wash kept me fresh! I was so impressed with it's performance that I couldn't help but make them the number one and with the excellent performance it provides at the price it's offered it's just better in my opinion, unbeatable! $9-11 a bottle, $4-6 if you can find it locally at Target.

If you wanted to try it for yourself you can find some links below that will take you directly to Amazon.com so you can purchase your bottle right now


I've used all of the products above so I decided to share it with you guys, I can't recommend a product I've never tried myself. Ladies if you want to get a great gift for him that's cheap and sure to please, get him some EMJ and call it a day! (Sorry I had to try it).


However If you were looking for something more flattering and aren't afraid of spending some extra cash, There is another product I use...for very special occasions! My number 2 pick is sure to please:




My number 2 pick for the best shower gel/Body wash for men is...


MOLTON BROWN



Ah, yes how could I forget Molton Brown? Molton Brown is a very sophisticated brand of male hygiene products. Never heard of it? In which case it's no surprise because the company is based in the UK where it started off as a hair salon way back in 1973 and was purchased for £170m back in 2005 by a japanese company called KAO, from such humble beginnings it grew into an internationally acclaimed company whose products are featured in the finest and most exclusive department stores and boutiques across the world.

MY HONEST OPINION is that this stuff absolutely rocks! the fragrance alone is absolutely tremendous, It smells better than any other body wash out there, including Every Man Jack. When my father took a shower with this as his father's day gift I sent him from overseas last year. My mother told me that the fragrance literally filled the entire house for hours and wow does it smell good! Did I mention it smells really good?

This is the kind of thing you'll want to use  to grab someone's attention and make people say, "Wow, who is that? He smells amazing!" As such it is Perfect for formal events, or a lovely evening with that special someone. I have to do a pros and cons here because there are only a couple downsides

Pros

1) The fragrance will amaze you it's a scent that must be experienced to believe!

2) That same scent lasts all day long!

3) Very large product selection 

4) Perfect to set aside for special occasions and makes for a truly awesome gift


Cons

1) Bottle is quite small, I don't recommend every day use unless you don't mind contending with the second con.

2) The price. It's a great product, but quite a bit more than what else is out there.

3) It's hard to find, if not for the internet I may never have been able to try it, and I doubt you'll find it locally unless you're in UK.



Nevertheless, if you want to give Molton Brown a shot and or you wish to get it as a gift for someone, I have provided more links to the MB Products I recommend:




Okay a couple disclaimers, first I don't own any products or the rights to any of the products or companies that I have mentioned in this blog. Also, I'm not bashing those of you who prefer to use say, Old spice, Dove for Men, Axe, Nivea, what have you, I've tried all those products too, and this is my honest opinion, I just wanted to share this with everyone out there, maybe it could help someone, I hope it does somehow but who knows? All I know is that I know I'm truly clean and fresh when I use these products and if anyone else can feel the same way by my help then I did my part!

Questions? Comments? Leave them in the comments section and I will get back to you ASAP also if there's a product out there you wish for me to review and post, if I am able, to I will! Just leave me a comment below, I'm here for you guys! Thanks for taking the time out to visit and I hope you all have a wonderful day! Hopefully I saved you folks out there some money or managed to make your money go a little farther this time.
