ManCaveCedarwood Shower Gel for Men, Fresh Woody Aroma with Eucalyptus and Pine Needle, Sulphate and Paraben Free, Natural, Vegan, Cruelty Free, 500 ml

Im giving this a 2 for 2 reasons:1 - it deserves a star as it doesn’t include SLS. Some people are complaining that it doesn’t foam as much as other shower gels but that is a GOOD thing! The chemical that makes the other gels foam is called Sodium Laurel Sulphate (SLS) which is in fact dries and irritates the skin.2. It deserves a star for the scent and for the product itself. It feels nice and silky on the skin.However, I have deducted stars based on the fact that ManCave seem to deploy some questionable marketing strategies which is leaving its customers quite annoyed.They start out with products for £3 or £4 and then once you’ve used them and decide you want to buy another one they are suddenly increased by nearly double the price.This is obviously to get customers to give it rave reviews (because it’s good AND cheap) but then once all those loyal customers have done their bit they are just forgotten and this brand seems to only focus on new blood who have no idea how cheap the product originally was.I personally hate these kind of marketing strategies. If the product was a bit more expensive from day 1 then I would be fine with it. But don’t dismiss your loyal customers with this kind of nonsense.Oh and it’s not just the shower gel, they do it with all their products such as the moisturiser which I used to use.I won’t be buying any ManCave products again.

I really like this range of products. Not really used many other brands to compare, admittedly. But, I have most of the Man Cave range and I like using them.Trick seems to be monitoring the prices on amazon as certain things can range in price by quite the margin. When something, shower gel for instance, goes back to £2 a bottle, I buy half a dozen.My only real gripe is that I don’t understand why each product has a different smell? Face wash, shower gel, moisturiser and beard creme applied, each smelling different than the last. It seems to work but, also seems like a lot more work than is necessary.

This is the second Man Cave shower gel I've tried. The first one was a while ago and it disappointed all round. I thought I'd give them a second chance because of the reviews for the cedar wood product. Needless to say they won't be getting a third chance. The gel lathers up ok, but there is no cedar wood smell at all. When it goes on the skin it gives off a chemically smell. After 5 uses it also made my hands red and become itchy... so off the the bin it went. Obviously, the stuff doesn't agree with me.

This stuff does a great job of keeping your skin moisturised. The scent is subtitle, almost too subtle but, whether you like the scent will almost certainly be down to your own preference and anything I say if purely subjective. To me, it smells a little bit like a cross between Vosene and Coca Cola essence. I like it, and in many ways it’s a bonus that it is subtle.It doesn’t lather like other shower gels but, it does the job, and for me, it does it well. I wouldn’t buy it on the basis that it’s reasonably priced or that it’s the best smelling shower gel I’ve ever used. It isn’t. However, I would buy it again on the basis that it really works, leaves my skin hydrated and and doesn’t overpower with scent. I would definitely recommend you give it a try. You won’t be disappointed providing you’re not expecting miracles.

I've been on the lookout for ethical products with natural ingredients and keep finding that they fall so far short of the mass produced products you can get from any supermarket. With this Man Cave shower gel this simply is not the case. It smells amazing and a little goes a long way. Sure the price seems steep as an initial outlay but week 2 (and I have a shower every day) I have probably used a tenth of the shower gel - if that. I smell fresh and clean and, crucially, with someone like myself with sensitive skin there is no irritation. Highly recommend this product and will certainly be buying more Man Cave products in the future.
