Girls talk about this shit all the time, but it's one of those subjects that guys usually avoid, but (whether you admit it or not) want to know. I did some research, then bought just about every product on the shelf, then ran some "scientific" experiments. I was even brave enough to try some more "girly" products so you don't have to (they don't contain estrogen and I'm not going gay).
After lots of research, lots of money wasted on products that were ineffective, pointless, useless, had bad smells, or even counter-productive (like a facewash from gillette that GAVE me acne), here are the "scientific" results.
So, that's everything I can think of right now. Not everything there will work for everyone, but they're quality products that don't cost too much and should be at least considered by any guy who wants to appealing to females, or just plain presentable.

- American Crew Pomade for Hold & Shine - That stuff is good for hair that still feels smooth and soft, but you can shape it.
- Joico ICE HAIR SPIKER STYLING GLUE - It's like superglue for your hair. IF you like hte spikey look or need a strong hold, look no further.
- More Hair Products These are quality products, find what you need on ebay. They work very well, however their scent is a little strong for my taste. The shampo/conditioner washes out and the scent mostly disappears, but I couldn't stand the hair-spray like products.
- King of Shaves For Men K-Series AlphaGel Shaving Gel, Sensitive Skin Cooling - For normal razor (like Mach 3)
- Williams Lectric Shave Electric Razor Pre-Shave, Tenderface - For electric razor
- Gillette Series After Shave Gel - Cheap, very effective, and minimal scent
- L'Oreal Men's Expert Power Clean Anti-Dullness Face Wash - Use in the shower in the morning & at night before you go to bed (at least). IF you want to use it more, it won't hurt.
- LISTERINE MOUTH WASH From walmart or millions of other stores. At least use it in the morning, you need to clean more than your teeth if you want nice breath. No, gum or mints are NOT a subsitute.
- Crest Spinbrush Cheap, effective . . . get an electric toothbrush and throw the old super-super cheap one away.
- Body Wash Find one that works well with your skin & smell you like (though hopefully most of the scent washes off).
- Shoes Yea, like anyone wants to admit they ever have smelly feet. Anyway, get shoes that are "breathable" and regularly rotate between at least 2 shoes (3 is optimal). If you wear the same pair of shoes every day, after a couple months, your feet WILL stink and sweat every time you wear those shoes.
- Face Moisturizer Here are some that seem to work L'Oreal Men's Expert Hydra-Power Invigorating Moisturizer, Neutrogena Men Age Fighter Face Moisturizer, King of Shaves For Men Skincare XCD Defender Facial Moisturizer, King of Shaves For Men Skincare XCD Improver SPF15 Tinted Moisturizer. Now the last one on the list is actually tinted, so it's makes you look slightly tan during the winter . . . however it's a little too much like makeup for my taste.
- OPTIONAL - L'Oreal Men's Expert Power Buff Anti-Roughness Exfoliator - Can make your skin smoother and reduce pores/pimples/imperfections. It will feel like sandpaper on your face & I know it's a "girly" product, but it's worth it. I only use about twice a month (rather than recommended twice a week). Use a face moisturizer immediately after.
So, that's everything I can think of right now. Not everything there will work for everyone, but they're quality products that don't cost too much and should be at least considered by any guy who wants to appealing to females, or just plain presentable.
