Man with all the ballers on this website Im surprised that many of you haven't used a lot of the top of the line products out there. Here are some of my favorites in no particular order.
For starters Malin+Goetz pretty much has everything. Though I wasnt a huge fan of the shaving cream as it seems runny and doesnt lather well with a shave brush. The Cannabis candle they sell if pretty awesome too. I also use the deodorant cause its aluminum free and doesnt smell like junior high old spice.

-Baxter is always a standard go to and same with Khiels. Khiels has a great hand cream that I use all the time especially living in wet, cold Seattle. Same with the Khiels chapstick. The Baxter travel shave brush is a must for the serious shaver on the go.
-Edwin Jagger is also a great mens line. The have good shaving creams for those that like to use a shaving brush.
-Art of Shave is decent too. I like the shave creams cause it lathers well but wasnt a big fan of the rest of the line.
-Lab series... Not a fan. Didnt like the shaving cream cause it didn't lubricate well and doesn't lather at all. The rest of the line I never bothered to try cause I hated the shave cream so much.
-Nivea?? How dare you even ask. Ok, Im being rude cause it works for a bit of people. I cant stand it. It smells like a high school locker room and not really preferable for people with sensitive skin cause of all the perfumes and chemicals.
Me personally I dont use most of the above mentioned unless my standards are out of stock or Im waiting too long for them to ship from overseas. Most people have not heard of these brands Im about to mention but I swear they will blow all of the above out of the water.
For starters Kyoku is the tits! Go to kyokuformen.com and read the story of how the product line was created. I use everything they have for the most part. They rock. Not cheap though. I swear by all the products they offer.
My new favorite shave cream is called Ursa Major. Ursamajormen.com. The shave cream doesnt lather with a brush but it doesnt need to. It rocks and smells like nothing youve smelt before.
My last favorite is Task.
TASK Essential - Le spécialiste du soin pour homme. I have sensitive skin and this is best facial moisturizer Ive used that doesnt make my skin super oily. Most moisturizers are too milky for me. Not this one. The whole line is awesome. Good luck finding it though. Order online or in-store at Barneys SF of NY. Oh and its Swiss made so it has to be good right?
So yeah give some a try. I mean you spent how much on a lambo that you might use a few times a month but you got the cheapest shit possible for the stuff you put on your face every day?? Step your game up. Your ladies will love it too.
