    I have a nicer shampoo that’s about 3x as expensive, but it’s also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower (including neck, armpits and crotch). And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I’ve taken a shower.

    So yeah, I think it’s worth it.

      Everyone should shave their head and reject bourgeois shampoo.

        I literally did this at the first sign on a receding hairline. I already had a beard and glasses so I figured it was time to complete the look. You still need to put something moisturising on your head though and so I do still use some shampoo so the damn capitalists win again…

        I did it last year and it was so worth it. I’m not close to having a receding hairline or anything. I just said “fuck washing and styling hair” and now I have a chrome dome and I love it.

            This is true, but I do that with an electric razor in the shower. It takes just a few minutes and I’m nice and warm and cozy in hot water while I do it. And if I skip a few days, it doesn’t matter (unless you don’t like the look of a little fuzz)

              The same for me with shampooing my hairs 😀

                Yeah the difference is I don’t have to deal with hair outside of the shower :) It used to get in my face, I had to cut it, I’d have to get it just right when putting headphones on, and it would look weird after taking off a hat. To be fair, it was more than a couple inches long.

        It’s BOSS Bottled Tonic. The idea I had originally was to not mix different scents randomly (soap, schampoo, deostick, EdT), potentially creating a dissonance or “frankensmell”.

        I don’t know enough about this to select a combo that works, but I can make sure to use the same scent across the board. BOSS Bottled Tonic existed as combined bodywash/shampoo, deostick and EdT. Unfortunately they seem to now have discontinued the deostick variant so I’m using the standard BOSS Bottled deostick as a replacement. It surprises and annoys me that companies aren’t consistent with the available scents across their product lines - did this mode of usage never occur to them? In my mind it should be a kind of baseline default.

        i use the paul allen (i think) tea tree lavender stuff and i have been getting compliments on my scent forever. occasionally i switch it up and just use their tea tree stuff but i like lavender. don’t forget the conditioner, i shampoo the hair at the beginning of the shower and then just let the conditioner soak in the scent into the hair all the rest of while i’m soaping up and &c. in the shower. it is luxurious
