Body Hygiene
Shampoo: I only wash my hair with whipped egg once a month, just before I get my hair cut. The natural oil that body produces keeps my hair soft, no prob; my hair is especially shiny and soft after sunbathing for example.
Soap: I don't use any soaps or body lotions for washing myself. My body doesn't smell, well not unpleasantly at least. But I do use eau de toilette - Dior Farenheit mostly (I spray it on clothes rather on my skin and seems not cause any detectable headaches but I do have a slight rash on my forehead every time I try to smell like civilized human being). For 'deodorant' I just rub some lemon onto the hair on the armpits; but not every day as I tend to get blisters if I overdo with it.
Toothpaste: I brush my teeth with water only, once a day first thing in the morning. That was until I got seriously concerned with my rapidly deteriorating teeth. I could almost see the dental erosion happening overnight. So I voted for toothpaste. Non fluoride ones though. Right now using Silicium-Gel by Hubner (German organic brand). Twice a day, after my fruit-berry meal at noon and then after tea in the evening. Looks like situation has stabilized for now.
Shaving: For shaving I prefer the cheapest 1-blade Bic razor (still think it is the best); but I also use my 5-blade Gillette Fusion (I remove the gel-infused strip with knife though). No foaming agents just hot water. I used to get very many in-growing hair pre-primaldiet but not anymore.
Washing-up liquid: just use warm water, does the job.
