B&B bulking cod men pt 2!

Konig, Soap & Ghost- pretty much filler but ending is important to plot

—-

The conversation with Konig was over as soon as it started as another door opened at out Soap came, Smiling as he picked up his tray, “Thank you las” he said as he walked right back into his room, As did Konig. Ghost however didn’t make a noise, just took the tray, and disappeared into his room.

Hours later the men would fill the common room, telling stories, the odd laugh and chuckle and funny arguments filled the building. Making you let out a small laugh as you mixed the pot that sat in the oven, watching the timer finish for the steaks in the oven.

You made quick work of organizing all three lunch plates, Half a steak, Half a salmon, some handmade mashed potatoes, with some greens on the side. You grabbed a large tray from under the sink and placed the plates onto each, With a tall glass of milk, and adding salt & pepper shakers onto the tray.

Soap was the first to notice your entrance to the common room, “whatcha got there lassie?” He asked, trying to see the tray, Making Ghost & Konig turn over as you placed the tray on the large table.

They all looked confused, turning to face you. “I figured I’d make you all lunch, I apologize if im over stepping, I just realized you hadn’t eaten yet and it’s getting a bit late for lunch.” You explained, gesturing to the clock that read 2:46.

“Thank you.” Ghost mumbled as he took his pick of the plates, shaking some salt and pepper over it. The rest of the men followed with thank you’s.

“You’re welcome.” You smiled as you returned to the kitchen, cleaning the pots and pans you used to cook, Hearing the sound of cutlery scrapping at tapping against plates as then men silently ate.

Konig came in first, holding the tray covered in empty dishes, you thanked him and reached for the top plate, “non sense, you made us a meal the least I could do is the dishes, if that’s okay?” He asked kindly. “Go right ahead, just please leave them in the drying rack when you’re done.”

—

It has been nearly a week since the men had joined you, meaning they’d only be here for another. But the pattern of making them big breakfasts and lunch didn’t end. Due to them spending more time in the house instead of their usual leaving at 8:30 Am and coming home at 6, you’d grown closer to them, more so to Soap then the other too, but Konig would volunteer to help you clean up, and Ghost would silently do his share.

“What made you want to run a b&b? Isn’t it a bit dangerous in this area?” Ghost spoke up one evening after finishing his dinner, His voice was rough but he still had a British accent, the question caught you off guard, at first it was just for the money but you just never looked back once things started too run well. “I suppose it was just a quick way to get money when I first opened up, the house was rundown and too large for just me so I worked on it and got my permit.” You explained, “I guess it just worked out, I mean you guys are here every few months and there’s really no need to tip as much as you do.” You explained, “It’s a nice place, it’s the least we could do.” Konig chimed in, and Soap made a noise of agreement. “I suppose, It’s never what I wanted to do but hey, whatever makes the money.” You explained. “Perhaps you should join the military, the food you makes fuckin’ amazing. We could always use another cook.” Soap said with a chuckle, “Johnny don’t even try that.” Ghost grumbled angry in response, “I’m just saying, we could always use some better food at base and I’m sure this would suffice.” The scott argued back, “Alright enough, we’re not recruiting an innocent individual to cook for us.” Konig cut them off.

You thought for a moment, “I wouldn’t mind,” the men looked at you like deer in headlights. “That’s not just something you can decide on spot mate.” Ghost spoke up, Giving you a few minutes to think, he wasn’t wrong at all. But what would you be leaving behind? A few friends you barely speak too, a dead beat town? “True, but there’s not much going for me here other than this place.” You explain, “But I understand it’s not as easy as just volunteering and off I go.” Konig returned his attention to his plate, “I mean, if your records clean they might take you, got any professional cooking experience?” Soap asked, “I was a line cook for a few years, took hospitality and foods courses in college.”

Soap shrugged, “worth a shot if you really wanted to commit to it, you’d get slot more money then you would running this place, no offense.” He spoke, “it’s not the money that matters Soap”. Ghost argued again. “Sir- Ghost? I assure you I understand the risks of being involved in the military even as such an unimportant role.” You defended.

—

So here you are, a week after the conversation, sat with Soap finalizing your recruitment application. “So all the files are together?” He asked, you anxiously nodded as you handled him over the folder filled with all of your information. “Great lassie, I’ll be seeing ye soon then, thank you for letting us stay again.” He said with a nod and out the door he went, Following after Ghost and Konig.

I had another enlightening moment, please bear with me

How about blacksmith!Mattsun who has been working in his father's small shop for a few years to let his old man retire.

Blacksmith!Mattsun who is this giant hunk of a man always black in the face, with big rough hands yet a killer smile that makes all the little ladies twirl their hair and giggle at him.

Still he knows he has a job and he needs the money to hopefully one day create a family, so he rarely goes around or at the tavern in order to take as many commissions as he can.

Blacksmith!Mattsun who forgets about how tough his job is because he really likes it but also tends to forget that he leaves the shop in the late evening completely covered in dirt and one night as he's taking a stroll he sees a new small shop close to him with lotions and handmade soaps. He walks in only to have you shout at him because he's making your precious bars of soap turn black.

That's how he comes to know you, his pretty neighbour who sells soap and perfumes to all the fine ladies and ultimately can't stand him, apparently because he's dirty.

Really, it's because they have warned you about him and his ways with girls and there is no way you're going to fall for his smooth, deep voice (at least you hope so).

But you two slowly get to know each other, mainly because you close up at the same time and you find out that he's well liked by girls because he's a total sweetheart without bad intentions.

You don't get the time to become too close, however, because you receive a big order of perfumed oils from the imperial palace and have to move there for the time being to assure everything goes well and the morning you leave, when the sun has yet to rise, Mattsun is there, clean for once, holding a little parting gift for you: it's a small straight hair pin with a small red gem on top.

You want to say something, hug him even, but you settle for a thank you, before climbing up the horse they sent from the palace.

As you get farther and farther, Mattsun can't help but wonder when he's going to see you again.

Months pass and he's back on his routine, trying to get his name out there. Sometimes his mind wanders away thinking of you and your new life at the palace. How are you? Do you miss him? Do you miss you old little shop? He still walks by sometimes to greet your mother who has taken your place, maybe even help her when muscles are required. Still, no sign of you.

Until one day, one late afternoon to be precise, he hears noises outside his shop and decides he needs some kind of distraction anyway because the fumes are starting to hurt his eyes. Peeking outside the door he sees a couple of horses, two men (are those guards?) and two women talking animatedly to each other.

Is- is that-

"Mattsun!" You call running towards him, but you stop once you reach him because while you'd do anything to hug him right know, the clothes you're wearing are borrowed and it would be impolite to turn them black.

While you ponder I'm the fact that the is really no way to touch Mattsun without ruining the white fabric, he looks at you as if he's never seen you before: of course he recognizes you, how could he not, but you just look so different. You're well cured, with a glowing skin and well kept clothes who look like they're made of fine cotton, your hair is neatly styled with his hair pin and your eyes are sparkling.

You're back.

You explain that the emperor has taken a liking to your products and you could not pass on such an opportunity; that you've started making personalized scents for the emperor's lover, and that you've become good friends with a gladiator's wife (the gladiator and the emperor are somehow friends? Mattsun may not believe you).

There's so many things you want to tell him but you don't have the time: you came here because your friend's husband, the gladiator, asked for a gifted and capable blacksmith to produce weapons and such and you told him you knew exactly who to call.

He's a bit skeptic at first but does follow you to the palace and accepts his job.

He starts making swords and daggers, shields, helmets and even small objects like hairpins.

Things start getting downhill once he starts visiting the emperor's consort chambers in order to stay closer to you: as an excuse he brings handmade gifts to the emperor's lover and as the two start getting closer (as close as a blacksmith and an almost empress would be anyway) you start regretting every choice you've ever made.

You don't know Mattsun is doing this for you, you just think he's infatuated with a partner so unattainable that he might as well lose his life if word gets round.

You want to warn him in order to save him but jealously gets the best of you as you ask him to stay away from the chambers.

Poor Mattsun is heartbroken and begins working like crazy, never leaving his own space to avoid you, or anyone, for that matter.

Emperor!Oikawa, however, who is known for having a good eye, notices something different in his trusted blacksmith and starts inquiring: once he's informed of your backstory he decides to meddle, another thing he's known for, along with his lover in order to pass time.

Eventually you and Mattsun get to talk and as you explain that you sent him away for his one good he tells you loud and clear that he was actually trying to get you through the emperor's lover.

You finally clarify the misunderstanding and settle for waiting to start a relationship: you are still young and have a long way to go before you can comfortably start a family. In the meantime, Mattsun gives you a bracelet to keep on you as some sort of promise jewel (it's not a jewel so it doesn't count as proposal) and he will wear one too.

Hopefully you two can build your own happily ever after.

@pinkkiwis

god thinking about mattsun’s sweaty, dirty body being illuminated by the soft orange hues emanating from the firepit inside his shop <333 god i know the shadows just define every ridge and muscle on his arms and torso GOD HE IS SUCH A HUNK OF A MAN.

please… the fucking hair pin is SO SWEET like i’m so soft for that IT’S SO CUTE and the MATCHING BRACELETS TOO I’M SQUEALING

also oikawa and his lover meddling I’M DEAD LMAO (wait what if i do headcanons on that IM THINKING MANY THOTS NOW AHHH)

4. Gifts for Women

7. Music

There is a huge selection of music venues in Liverpool. One of the best is Leaf, which hosts live music in a unique tea shop setting. It also serves food and drinks, which is perfect for an evening out with friends.

Liverpool has a rich musical heritage and is the birthplace of many legendary bands. The Beatles are probably the most famous band to come from Liverpool, but there are plenty of other great musicians who have made their mark in the city. The Cavern Club on Mathew Street is a famous venue that has hosted some of the most iconic bands.

Civilian - Chapter 1: Darkness

Previous Chapter: Prologue Pairing: Negan x Fem!Reader Summary: When you accidentally stumble onto Sanctuary territory, Negan takes you prisoner to ensure your arrival is purely coincidental. When no one from your group shows up, you end up becoming a citizen of the sanctuary and realizing just how dark your new leader truly is.

Chapter Warnings: isolation

Story Warnings: violence, gore, smut, slow burn, isolation, dark themes

Available on AO3 if you prefer to read there. A/N: I apologize truly for such a long time gap between updates. I’ve been dealing with holiday stuff lately, and I work 12-hour shifts at night. I have quite a bit planned for this fic, but this chapter just really seemed like the reader was rambling a lot to depict her time in the cell. I apologize in advance that it’s a bit boring and there’s not as much of our favorite villain as we all would like. Also, I forgot to mention the fic is inspired by Wye Oak’s song “Civilian.” I listened to it on repeat, it just has an intense apocalypse feel to me.

Chapter 1: Darkness

The darkness wasn’t terrible at first. Spending most of every day in the scalding Virginian sun actually made you feel calmer in the dark, and this cell was no exception - after the impending panic attack had subsided, of course. You could still feel your heart beating steadily, your respirations coming at a quickened pace still yet. But after a few hours, the initial panic was fading. You were safe from walkers here. There was only one exit. You didn’t have to face the dangers of scavenging or being outside unprotected. Your fear was no longer sourced from your solitude; now it came from the thoughts of what would happen after your time here. Would that man, Negan, kill you on the spot? Would he let you leave? You thought again about how lean he was and how easy it would have been for any of his followers to take power from him. Why did they follow the older man so loyally? Were there any more followers you’d yet to see?

Questions built up in your mind that might not ever be answered, and in an attempt to distract yourself, you began to count the seconds - and then minutes - ticking by. Sixty seconds. One minute, two minutes, five, ten, fifteen. You stopped when you got to twenty-three, deciding that counting time was making you anxious all over again. You lost track of how much time you had spent in the cell. It felt like days, but no one had brought you anything so you knew that couldn’t be the case. You slid yourself down into the floor, your cheek resting on the frigid concrete, so that you could peak outside from the small slit of light under the door. You were disappointed as your eyes met with another concrete wall across the corridor. You knew what the place looked like before you had been confined to the cell, so you weren’t sure what you were expecting to see. Feet maybe, but with the amount of locks you were willing to bet were on the door, there was likely no need to guard you so closely. You were definitely alone.

You turned onto your back and attempted to fall asleep several times, but anxiety and worry tormented you, making it impossible to relax. You finally settled your back into the corner, facing the door and waiting. You wondered if anyone from your community would come looking for you. What would Negan and his followers do to them if they did? You vividly remembered the barbed wire glistening in the sunlight, wrapped tightly around his bat. It was ominous, certainly, but maybe just an intimidation tactic. Surely he would question your people before acting.

What worried you most was how you’d landed yourself in a cell over something as insignificant as the location of their community. Negan had said something about information, and that had sparked your curiosity. Maybe this group had a doctor or scientist that had vital knowledge about what had caused the dead to walk. You knew it was only wishful thinking, but a part of you had always held onto the possibility of a cure or antidote. Not having to see anyone else die or rot away to this damned disease? That would be all you could ever hope for. Before the end of the world, you had been a nurse. Wanting to help people had become second nature to you; it was what you were good at. When hell broke loose and you managed to escape the hospital you’d worked in, you holed up in your hometown for quite some time, collecting medical supplies and patching up people who’d been hurt. When your supplies dwindled down and most of your friends had departed to find their own families, you had been forced to leave for somewhere safer, with more supplies and food sources. Stumbling into a couple of kind people had been sheer luck, and you’d been with them ever since. Your role in your community was similar to your job before; you’d put dressings on everyone’s injuries, make sure they were eating okay, give what medicines you could, and monitor people feeling unwell mentally or physically. It’s what your mind kept lingering on: you could be killed or kept here, and that meant the people back home were going without medical care.

You barely noticed the sound of heavy, slow footsteps, before a voice cried out, “WHEN I GET OUT, I’LL KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU.” Huffing breaths and then a shrill yell kicked you out of your thoughts; a man’s voice a couple cells down, it sounded like.

With that, your calm demeanor disappeared. You felt yourself shiver at the echo of his deep voice against the steel and concrete corridor. He started to punch the door with his fists; flat, hard beats of flesh against the hard surface permeated the air, making you feel queasy. Your sanity was already stretched thin, a tightrope you’d been desperately clinging to balance on since you’d lost your group. Another man began shouting and you realized you were surrounded by prisoners, mad ones judging by the sound of their clamoring. Whoever’s footsteps triggered the men’s outburst began to grow louder. You expected to hear Negan’s dark timbre, but it was Simon’s loud voice that rang out.

“You all had better pipe the fuck down. I’d hate to have to tell Negan there’s an uprising in the holding cells.” At the mention of Negan, the yells quietened into mumbles, and then silence. Simon’s boots grew louder still, and you scooted yourself up, as close to the walls in the corner as you could physically get. Three audible locks clicked before light flooded the cell, burning your vision. You raised your hands up to shade your face, shielding your eyes from the brightness. Simon knelt down in the doorway and addressed you, his voice quickly transformed from crass to serene.

“Okay, Doll. It’s been decided that your group isn’t coming for you, since it’s nightfall already and they would have to be suicidal or just plain stupid to go out in the dark.” Your mouth was dry and your voice scratchy, but you’d managed to speak up, “I told you. I’m not trying to pull anything. I’ve never heard of this community.”

Simon nodded, “I know. But Negan’s got a lot of responsibility to keep the people here safe. And he doesn’t trust easily. None of us do. But he does have a soft spot for women. So I’ve been instructed to take you to the regular living quarters and make you a bit more comfortable. Let you get a few solid hours of sleep. Then he’ll talk with you and decide what happens next in the morning.”

Out of all the scenarios you’d imagined in your head - being beaten to death, thrown out into the darkness to become walker food, kept here until you rotted away - this had not been one of them.

“You’re not going to kill me?” Simon laughed, “No. We might not be conventionally nice people, who is these days? But we aren’t evil either. Come on.”

He held a hand out to you and you hesitated. Should you really trust this man? You once again decided you didn’t have any other option at this point, and being anywhere other than this cell sounded great. If this was a trick or he was leading you to your death, at least you’d know soon. He helped you to stand; your legs shaky from lack of use all day. Once you had your balance, he pulled a pair of silver handcuffs from his belt. “Sorry, kid.” He motioned for you to turn around.

You didn’t put up a fight, and let him handcuff your hands behind your back.

After your hands were secure, you walked alongside him, back out the way you’d come, and up a flight of industrial metal stairs. He led you down another hallway and through a pair of double doors, into what seemed to be an indoor flea market. There were various vendors, selling everything and anything imaginable. As you walked beside him, Simon continued explaining.

“This is our marketplace. Most of our people live on a system of points. Scavenging, going on missions, working, doing favors for Negan, all of that earns points. You can barter belongings, or use your points to buy things. Various foodstuffs, handmade clothes or blankets, weapons, room items, jewelry. It’s endless.”

Simon picked up a black crocheted blanket, a tank top, knitted shorts, a pair of dark jeans, a black tee shirt, and a few small soap bars as he walked you around the huge room. When he reached an end table near the door, a woman in a teal headscarf sat with a few notebooks and pens, holding one of the writing utensils out for him.

“Our form of “paying” for our goods,” he explained. When the woman looked up to see that it was Simon, she scribbled in the book herself and gave him a small smile before the two of you left the pay table.

Your curious expression did not go unnoticed by Simon, and he explained as he came to a stop. “A select few of us are exempt from the point system. We still have other rules to follow of course, but a few perks aren’t bad.”

You nodded, mentally questioning what an individual had to do to be an exception to the point system. You weren't entirely sure you wanted to know.

As you and Simon approached the same set of doors you’d entered moments ago, you noticed a woman leaning against the panelling, her arms crossed. Simon motioned her over and she pulled herself away from the wall, making her way over to you. She had her hair twisted into a blonde bun, a obsidian-toned tattoo contrasting the ivory skin on her neck, and a golden hoop nose ring on the left side of her nose.

“This is Laura.” Simon introduced her. You told her your name as well, out of respect, and she nodded.

“Laura’s going to give you the rest of the tour and make sure you get a hot shower and some food.” Food was great, but the thought of hot water was better. You were sure running hot water was a luxury of the past, something that would be a mere story to tell future generations. Remembering what it was like to come home after a long night at work, standing bare under a hot stream of water cascading over you; it made your muscles tremble at the thought.

“That sounds amazing. Hot water.”

Laura chuckled a bit at your reaction. “Oh, trust me it is.”

Simon handed the items he’d bought to Laura, and clapped his hand on your shoulder. “I have to get going, but Laura will take good care of you. See you tomorrow.”

His touch made you flinch. Hours earlier, you’d watched their leader swing his bat around, threatening you. Fellow community members pointed guns and knives of all imaginable varieties at you, they’d shoved you into a cell like you’d murdered a handful of small children, and now he was fucking Mr. Rogers-level friendly. You felt the aforementioned tightrope of sanity you were still balancing on shrinking thinner.

Laura showed you a few more essential areas of the community; the latrines, the showers, the cafeteria, and a few of the living quarters. She’d said that was all she was permitted to show you for now, and when she offered for you to finally go grab a shower, she followed you. Not into the stall, thank God, but she removed your handcuffs and stood right outside, preventing you from escaping or wandering off on your own. As you stood under the near-scalding spray of water, you contemplated everything that had happened so far. These people seemed nice enough; after the threats, the barbed-wire bat, and the cell. They weren’t torturing or raping or slicing you to pieces. You hadn’t seen any vendors selling human body parts for soup. But it was blatantly obvious that they still didn’t trust you. And maybe it was wrong, but that just made you want to investigate this place further. There was bound to be something shady going on, or something of utmost importance that needed protecting. Simon had said it himself; Negan had a huge responsibility to protect the Sanctuary. And you couldn’t help but linger on why.

After you finally left the shower, Laura escorted you to the cafeteria and sat with you as you ate your meal; a leafy green salad and a marinara-smothered pasta that you couldn’t remember the name of. Cellentani? Cavatappi maybe? It didn’t matter now. Pasta was easy to make in large quantities and it had been one of your favorite meals before the end had come; you weren’t going to complain about it. You didn’t know if you were hungry or if the food was just incredible, but it made your mouth water and you didn’t think you could eat another bite once you had finished. Laura tried to make small talk, and you hadn’t been rude, but stuffing your face with pasta made it surprisingly difficult to carry on a conversation.

The place wasn’t nearly as crowded as it had been at the marketplace, and you surmised that it was getting late. Candles and low-energy lamps lit the corridors now, as the sun was absent in all of the large windows. The main area with the stairwells had previously been brightly shining with abundant amounts of sun whenever the men had brought you to your cell. Laura had recuffed you and led you through the dimly-lit halls to one of the living quarter rooms. It held two bunk beds, a full-size bed, and two floor cots. Three of the bunks were taken, and there were two people asleep in the full sized bed. Laura took your cuffs off again, handed you the items from earlier, and pointed to one of the floor cots and the small cubby area near the doorway you were currently standing in.

“Your stuff will be safe here. Try to get some sleep. Who knows what Negan will decide for you tomorrow.” You could tell she wasn’t trying to intimidate you on purpose, she seemed like a blunt, matter-of-fact kind of person. It still bothered you nonetheless.

When you changed into the tank top and shorts Simon had given you, stored your few belongings away, and started to try to get comfortable in the floor, you noticed Laura kept standing.

“You aren’t sleeping?” You asked, hushed so as not to wake anyone.

Grinning, she whispered, “I’m on guard duty for another four hours.”

She stepped outside the door, leaning against the wall outside of your room. They truly didn’t trust you not to escape. You didn’t really fault them for that though, because if given the opportunity, you couldn’t truthfully say you wouldn’t at least attempt to leave. Covering yourself up with the blanket Simon had given you, you adjusted onto your stomach and attempted to fall to sleep. Tomorrow morning was a mystery looming over your head like a storm cloud. You could be thrown out, defenseless. You could be kept captive. Hell, Negan could have you shot or stabbed to death by his bandwagon of followers. The worries were endless and daunting. What if someone back home was sick or injured and needed you? Would the group be out looking for you in the dark? They had more sense than that. You’d hoped so, at least. Would they think you left on purpose? Maybe they would be angry with you. Maybe no one would ever come looking for you. The nurse who left them all without any medical support, left them to die. You groaned, pulling your arms up over your head and ears, attempting to drown out the sounds of your own suffocating thoughts. After about fifteen minutes, the exhaustion in your bones finally caught up to you, and although your relentless thoughts never ceased to bombard your mind, you finally dozed off.

“Get up.” Unsure of exactly how much sleep you’d managed to get, you were suddenly being shaken awake. It wasn’t Laura standing above you this time; it was a man you recognized from your encounter early the day before. You couldn’t remember where he’d been standing, but he’d been pointing a weapon at you, that part was vibrant in your mind. You sat up, wiping sleep from your eyes and pushing your still-damp hair out of your face.

“Is something wrong?” It had to be early. Looking beyond him and into the hallway, the lamps were still lit. The sun hadn’t risen yet. “...Negan wants to see you.” The thought of the older man made your stomach drop. This was it. Your entire future - how much longer you lived, if truth be told - dependant on a conversation you were seconds away from having. You stood and dressed in the jeans Simon had gifted you. Pulling your boots on, you left everything else in the cubby area. You stretched the sleep from your muscles before nodding to the man who’d interrupted your dreamless slumber. He cuffed you yet again, and turned to walk down the hallway, you following reluctantly on his heels. He didn’t speak at all, and you couldn’t decide if that was good or bad. The two of you walked up a second flight of stairs and down another corridor. Their distrust of you was good in one respect; with people escorting you everywhere, you couldn’t get lost. A likely possibility when every floor looked the same to you: all concrete and metal. The place reminded you of a prison, and it wasn’t just the cells on the bottom floor. The layout was all very similar. You assumed the building had been a mill or factory of some sort, but you had no clue as to what they would have made here.

Traversing one winding hallway after another, you finally arrived at your destination. The man you followed stood back as he opened a plain-looking door, the light eggshell paint on it chipping off at the edges. There was a long table in the middle of the room, and two lights hanging overhead, dimly lighting the place. Negan sat at the head of the table, in his same leather jacket from yesterday. His inky black hair was slicked back in perfect contrast to the surprisingly bright material of his white shirt. The bat was lying ominously on the table in front of him, and when you looked up to briefly meet his eyes, he was grinning at you.

“Long time, no see.” His voice echoed in the room and you could feel your heartbeats speeding up in your chest. The man who had led you here pushed you further into the room, before stepping in and closing the door behind himself. He approached Negan, holding out a key for what you guessed could only be your handcuffs. Negan palmed the tiny silver key, and the guard turned to leave. The door had quickly closed again, punctuating the fact that you were now utterly alone with the leader of the people who’d turned at least a dozen guns on you yesterday. Alone and at a disadvantage, the cuffs biting into the skin of your wrists as a reminder.

“So your people didn’t show up last night. What are we gonna do with you now?”

Read Chapter 2 here.

A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger guys. I’ll definitely update sooner than last time. And maybe even get myself on a weekly schedule? Happy Holidays, and remember comments/suggestions always welcome!

The best mens body wash and bar soap Awards: The Best, Worst, and Weirdest Things We've Seen

No Residue Bar Soap

Know Your Skin Type

It is infused with vitamin organic body wash B5 too, to help keep your skin looking its best. Jack Black Turbo (about $50) is a sulfate-free option that does double duty as a shampoo. It has an energizing scent and contains a variety of beneficial organic herbs, such as rosemary, which can help fight bacteria on the skin, and antiinflammatory juniper berry.

Choose All-natural Fragrances

A little goes a long way with this product, foaming moderately and leaving a masculine scent which is pleasant and quite faint. Despite being an oil based product, there is no oily layer left behind.

Old Spice Hydro Body Wash

I never liked the concept of handmade soaps because I thought they were expensive and I was under the impression they wouldn’t lather nor do their job of properly cleansing the skin. New brands and this never ending craze for BIG brands and branded beauty products is sadly harming our skin day in and day out. Created in 1931, this luxurious soap, penned the “President scent,” is equal parts commanding and captivating with notes of bergamot, cumin, and mandarin.

Although my boyfriend found it a too feminine for his liking, but light enough of a fragrance to still use it.

If you have dry, flakey, skin, or tend to skip the step of moisturizers after your shower, I would highly recommend trying this product.

I tend to gravitate towards clean smells, however I found Olay’s softer scent to be pleasant and nice for summer.

By the end of the first week my skin was noticeably more soft and supple, especially around the knees and elbows, which are my trouble spots.

I just simply don’t like putting harmful chemicals and ingredients on my skin if I can avoid it. Their products are formulated using only natural, organic ingredients that are proven safe, even for guys with sensitive skin. As if Jack Black is reading our mind, their Clean Cream body wash for men is specifically designed to moisturize, hydrate, and basically kick dry skin’s ass to the point of no return. It’s basically dry skin’s worst nightmare in body wash form.

The Best Body Wash For Men

So, if you are excited to experience long lasting freshness and protection against bacteria, purchasing Platinum Protect body wash can deliver unexpected results. Instead of using a mixture of toxic chemicals to prepare the body wash, an all-natural formula has been used which does not include any dyes or artificial fragrances. All ingredients being skin friendly, there is surely no chance of itching or redness caused over your skin in future.

Body Wash Buyers Guide

I would recommend that you not use this as your sole body wash, but use it in addition to something that you already use and like. I generally like to wash with this ever few days, or wash with it first, and then use my regular body wash. No top 10 list would be complete without mention of a body wash that's made with salicylic acid.

The body has natural oils which protect our skin by forming a barrier between harsh environmental pollutants and these oils also lock in moisture, which keeps our skin naturally hydrated. Well first off, soap is made by using oils and/or fats and lye. And for those of you getting anxious to let me assure you, potassium hydroxide disappears during the process (called saponification), so the end product does not contain this chemical. The assistance of Olay is to moisturize the dry skin and make your skin look healthy, clean, and smooth.

It even offers it in a fragrance-free version in case you’re on the sensitive side and want to play it safe. Men who need a deodorant body wash that is strong enough to eliminate body odor yet gentle enough to soothe sensitive skin can count on purely northwest to deliver. This body wash is one of the strongest specialty sellers on the market, and also a multi-award winner. Our commitment to using high quality ingredients means your hair and skin will not be left with a dry, rough or brittle feeling often experienced when using other washes. The body washes and shampoos that dry out your skin and hair usually have sodium laureth sulfate as their primary ingredient.
