Christmas gift for boyfriend?

[fender_qt]

Hi everyone!! It's been forever since I've posted here, sadly... I used to live in NYC and visited my Union Square Lush almost every single day. Boy, was it getting expensive... but I loved every minute of it. I moved back to Florida and the closest Lush is about 5 1/2 hours away, so as you can probably guess, I don't visit much

No personal experience using it, but Ambrosia is definitely the one for soothing skin!

Anyone used this one?

Not Lush, but some of the guys I know love Aveda shaving products.

My boyfriend tried most of the Lush products specifically for shaving and found that they clogged up the razor too much for his liking. I got him to try Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie which is what I use to shave my legs and he loves it - softening enough for the bristles, soothing enough to not burn and leave a red rash and doesn't clog the razor. It also doesn't smell particularly girly. I've also used Dreamwash for shaving my legs which has a very similar consistency and is also very good for sensitive skins so I imagine that it too would work for face shaving!

Seconding this. The shaving creams are way too thick in general xD

Most lush products have fragrance in them (I don't just mean that they have a natural smell, but that "perfume" is listed in their ingredients), so you may want to tread carefully. I love Lush, but I have to be careful with what I use because of this. By all means, try something out if you think he wouldn't react to it, but I would definitely have him do a patch test first.

Get him to try Cosmetic Lad! My fiance loves it, because he says it soothes his skin after shaving, and makes the next shave less traumatic. I guess it softens the hairs, or something.
