Elisson, I didn’t read the byline and credited Jimbo with the post. Apologies.

Welcome back to Jimbo.

“That orgasm doesn’t do you any good, if she’s ten feet away.”

Charlie, technically speaking, it doesn’t do you any good if she’s six inches away, either. Especially if it’s on account of the shampoo, and not you.

I used to use Prell, but only in the concentrated form. When they stopped selling that, I quit the brand altogether.

These days I use straight bath soap. If my hair could survive Prell Concentrate, it can survive Dial Antibacterial.

Dan O - Remember Wacky Packs? Hell, yes.

Since I long ago grew taller than my hair and only sport the half-ring around the sides and back, I just swipe the dome with whatever I’m washing my face with at the time. Either Dove or Dial body wash or whatever bar soap is handy.

For years it was Head & Boulders as my wife still calls it. (Remember those Wacky Packages stickers back in the ’70′s? No? Google it!) Before that when I was a kid and realized, (ack!) I had dandruff, I used Tegrin. It worked but had a horrible smell. Might have even been that coal tar smell that Jimbo mentioned.

That coal tar must be versatile stuff. It’s also the ingredient in Psoriasin.

I’ve been using Gilette Deep-Cleaning, and think I’ve found something to stay with: it works good (without de-foliating my scalp), isn’t too overpriced, and smells halfway decent (what’s up with the fruit-laced shampoos? I want to smell clean, not like a fruit cocktail…).

Best, most gentle clean your hair can have is baking soda-a Tbsp in about 6 oz. of water. Then condition afterwards. It’s cheap, effective and takes out all the gummy crap regular shampoos leave in-try it.
And Prell-yes my Mom used to buy that. Like you-I can still remember the smell. About as gentle on your hair as lacquer thinner, I’d guess.

Oh man, I remember Prell. That’s the hard stuff, man – the grain alcohol of shampoos…

Store-brand generics that compare to Redken or Panteen. The shampoo is nothing, the conditioner is where the sensual, silky satisfaction resides. *ahem!*
