I could be wrong, but I think they've just charged you 50 quid for the privilege of going to sleep.
good one haha

Yeah there was a 30ml bottle for £38 but they told me the 50ml is better value so I went for that.
Glad to hear good things about it!
Also went into an Aesop store (London) for a few free samples as I had no idea what to buy.

Sounds like something made by Dr. Fünke's 100% Natural Good-Time Family Band Solution.

The fact they've called it Aesop is almost cast-iron proof they're trolling everyone.

I also like Aesop stuff. Their lip cream is brilliant in the winter.

Cool thanks. I got some samples so looking forward to seeing how they are.
The Kiehl's midnight recovery is really good so far...still early days but i have noticed my face is less dry and really smooth.

I've recently started a Harry's subscription and their razors seem hellishly sharp. Probably the closest shave I've had for ages (usually use Hydro 5s) and the price seems pretty reasonable compared to WS/Gillette. The shave gel in the trial pack is quite nice too.

What products do you guys use on your hair?
I current use a wax but I'm starting to go thin on top
so want something that is not so stiff holding. Looking maybe at a putty but want something that will give me good hold.
Recommendations?

Toni & Guy workable matte paste(the one with the yellow writing) is what I'm using at the moment, it's much softer than wax but gives a good hold. It's in Boots, relatively inexpensive.

Fudge Hair Shaper is my staple. Decent hold if you're hair isn't too long (which mine is now
), your hair still feels soft and you can put your hands through it, and it doesn't make it look/feel greasy. It also smells of caramel.

Hello chaps, I’d like some advice.
I have used an electric razor all my life, but I’m increasingly disappointed with the quality of the shave. So in 2018 I think I’ll give wet shaving a go to see if there’s any improvement.
What razors and products would you recommend for a first time wet shaving novice?

Ive noticed that the more you keep up on trimming it, the thicker it grows everywhere. I have a patchy face in spots but even I have full cover now, if patchiness is a concern of yours.
I guess it just takes a bit to train the hair away from being soft after years of clean shaves.
One blades are brilliant. Everyone who has a beard/stubble should own one. I got the one blade pro, not the very top one but the one just below that, for about £30. Bargain.

For the best wet shave invest in a good shaving brush and cream.
The difference compared to using a foam/gel you just rub on your face is massive.
I use Kiehls lite flite shaving cream.

Which one did you get? I kinda want the one with the variable trimmer head but it costs several pounds.
My current iStubble has given up the ghost.

I got the one that you attach the trimming heads to rather than the adjustable one. Works fine for me.

I’m currently sat here with a black face feeling like a right ponce trying out L’Oréal Men’s new “Clay Mask”. Smells nice though.
