Of the more expensive ones, Sharp's is my favorite scrub and Sisheido for men my favorite foaming wash.

On the cheaper end, I like Neutragena's scrubs and washes for men, and their face soap bar is even better. I also like the St. Ives scrub mentioned above (and Walmart makes a good clone).

Girliest SF post yet.

Try St. Ives Elements Microderm-Abrasion. It comes in a 4 ounce blue tube and you can get it at Walgreens or Safeway. I think it was about $8.00. It is nothing like that terribly abrasive apricot shell scrub stuff. I actually like this stuff much better than products I have spent over $40.00 on.

i remember reading a while back don't get the apricot scrubs since the beads that scrub are uneven and really tear your face apart on a microscopic level.

I've used the St. Ives apricot scrub before and it's really affordable and gets the job done. Currently, I'm using Shiseido Mens Deep Cleansing Scrub.

Clinique makes a face scrub in their "Shave supplies for men" that I use. Its mild, but can be a great pre-shave in the shower. Can find online for $10ish.

The St.Ives Apricot works in a pinch, and you can get it quite cheap.

However, I only use a crub everycouple of days-- even the Clinique will rough up my face if I use it every day.

The Neutragena products at your local megasuperdooper center are hard to beat. If you get serious about it, their little microdermal abrasion machine does a wonderful job and will leave you with that youthful fresh glow.

thanks. i forgot to mention the only one i've used so far was the clinique for men. i was happy with it but i have nothing to compare it to.

to the guys recommending neutrogena; are you referring to the "neutrogena for men", or the regular line?

I like the Menscience face scrub. I have been using that for awhile and it works well.
