Yep.
Big fan of 'Bull Dog Moisturiser'

That made me laugh. Reminds me of the old Carbolic soap joke "..but mum, cars don't have......"

Let's not go there Norm!

I must need my coffee, I hadn't considered that "of course it is good for the skin" angle until you mentioned it.

The no's are pulling ahead.. c'mon you soft cheeked fellas.. there must be more of you

 

[Hilldodger]

'course I don't because I'm 'ard.

after years working on the farm, practically bathing in diseasel on a daily basis, the skin on my knuckles now starts cracking in mid-October and needs moisturiser from then to March/April. If I skip a day with the moisturiser, it becomes very painful and soon starts bleeding, so I slap Norwegian formula or something similar on daily.

Nothing dries out the skin and causes it to crack than a month lambing, you would of thought with it being warm and damp inside a ewe it wouldn't be a problem but trust me you need your Norwegian formula for that month (and as it was developed for North Sea fishermen it makes you weel 'ard)

 

[fossyant]

Absolutely not - it's for girlz !

I use proper soap to shave and suffer no problems that would require extra moisturising.

 

[redjedi]

Nothing wrong with a bit of moisturiser I use it daily even though I only shave a couple of times a week (if that).

I'd rather have a soft supply face, then a dry flaky one.

 

[goo_mason]

A couple of years ago I used some as the normally-greasy skin on my face got very dry and flakey after weeks of riding in the freezing cold, wind and rain.

Now that I shave with straight & DE razors, I use one of my many aftershave balms after my daily shave and that suffices. The shaving soaps and creams I use are pretty good at keeping my skin fairly well-conditioned anyway, and using proper razors rather than these multi-bladed monstrosities means my skin isn't irritated any more either.

 

[potsy]

Is it me or is there a definite North/South divide on the girly men of this thread?

 

[4F]

No, of course I don't, I am guessing it must be the "London lot" which are voting yes.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

No. The other lorry drivers would point and laugh.

 

[Pottsy]

Definite yes here. Daily.

 

[Paulus]

I use a moisturiser every few days as I have dry skin anyway, and cycling in this weather does not help. I also work outside and the sun and wind does it's worst.

 

[ChrisKH]

Yes, I use Neutrogena moisturiser for men. I have exceptionally dry skin and become Mr. Flaky in the winter otherwise. My hands crack and bleed this time of year so I need to keep that in check with a prescription cream wash and Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream.

I also cleanse and tone once a day before moisturising. Don't laff.
