Welcome to the dark side of SLY Marc! I am a reformed product whore. Until recently I had drawers full of products.... but about 6 months ago I had an intervention with myself and decided.... No more new products until I used up all the old stuff. I am literally on my last tube of old stuff now.'

Time to stock up again!!!!

I do not want to be a hypocrate because I am on a "sly break" you can read my current post to see why.  However I to have felt that I went overboard with buying grooming products.  I have to emphasize that although its true we would all like to save money and not buy compusively I think for myself and maybe this is the case with you, that you are getting a good shave and your routine is well very routine but you are experimenting and you feel you can do better.  In my case I found out that using a shaving oil first and then putting shaving gel on top of that gave me a better shave, can I get more perfect, of course but I decided to draw the line.  So their is nothing wrong really with experimenting at first but when you get a decent shave and your skin both head and face is to your satisfaction you should stop yourself from buying more needlessly.  I can honestly say that I still enjoy going down the men's grooming aisle when I go to stores.\

You guys crack me up.  I went sly to get rid of all the dang products (tapes, glues, adhesive removers, intensive conditioners, etc).  Now you're telling me I need to have all these other things?  ROTFLOL.  I do need to pick up some shaving oil.  But trying to stick to just headblade, headslick, and a little scrub.

Good to see I'm not aone   

I think that the latest purchases should hve me set for a while...I hope!!!!

The KOS sahve oil under the headlsick seems to do great...and between the headsshed and apricot scrub I think I have enough scrub for a good long time 

Of coure I say that now but then there's always the unknown of seeing a new product on the shelf   

...But now im sly it feels weird seeing the hair thickening shampoos and conditioners being there .

Get rid of that stuff immediately! 

While I was away on vacation my sister came over to the house and needed to get something from my bathroom.  She said she never saw a "man" with so much grooming products.  However I want to voice again what I said earlier.  The reason most of us have a lot of products is because we were searching for that right combination.  I for one have found what works for me and the products I do not use will eventually be back up products if I run out of the products I currently use.  Another words what loved ones may not understand is that in our grooming regimens we are not using 3 types of gels 2 types of oils for each shave.

Happy return to Slydom day for me

I'm not overrun with products (yet!), but my wife does complain that I now spend more time in the bathroom than she does!  LOL
