Steelie - You can get the Perricone stuff off an ebay store, it's still dear but cheaper than the shop.

Guys - stay clear of Clinque it's full of alcohol and will strip your skin.

King of Skin is quality.

I can recommend the Tend Skin, kills shaving rash and ingrown hairs. If you're cheap you can make your own by crushing up aspirin in a water. I'm sure I've mentioned it before.

If you want decent skincare that is not girlie try Dermalogica. Also Ren is pretty good.
Mankind has a sister store, if it's run the same you get so much cash back.

Since when was being a mans man (gay?) mean you have to have a rough arse face.

Actually the gay lads in the office may be on to something with Decleor as they do aromatherapy balms and oils which if you used them at night may make your skin/hair softer before shaving in the am. I'm not convinced about the rest of their line.

Check out QVCUK.com for some great offers.

Anyone tried L'Occitanes mens range? they have some very sniffable stuff. I would definately nuzzle your neck.
