Anyone use face scrubs?

Muslin cloth, daily, to remove whatever I've washed my face with (usually an oil of some kind). A poncy flannel, basically, but it removes the need (or rather justification) for throwing money at new products.
 
Right, after having my monthly haircut I stopped by the local Kiehl's store just up the road, and bought a tube of the scrub. Didn't help the woman behind the counter was bangable which pushed the sale through. Its got parabens in it, which is a controversial product. But I guess if it was a health hazard they'd stop selling it. I also got samples of the wash and moisturiser thrown in. Nishy I hope they live up to expectation for £17.50!
 
Got the Clinique one after years of resistance... and then thought it was a bit meh, certainly not much better than some of the cheaper ones out there.

I used to think the Bulldog one was really good, then I used my Boots Clubcard points to get the Ted Baker one and it really made the Bulldog look just a bit average. Ted Baker is really densely packed with scrubby beads, it does a very good job. It's a bit pricey, not sure I'd have bought it if it weren't for the Boots points.
 
I have a Boots card too and use it when I have enough to get one of the Bulldog ones.

Tried the Kiehl's scrub this morning, weird smell but its alright I guess, the facial wash sample has a menthol kick to it which really wakes you up. Not really sure if the extra money makes it a better product than the Bulldog. If only Boots sold Kiehl's!
 
I use one once a week or so in the shower on my face and feel that it helps with a shave. Nivea used to make one specifically as a pre-shave scrub that was great.
 
I bought a l'oreal men's one, just for using on the schnoz once or twice a week. As the blurb claims, it's good for 'reducing the appearance of' blackheads. But why did they put menthol in something that gets used close to your eyes?
 
Find that daily shaving is enough exfoliation for me.
Try dry shaving WTG , one or two passes and see how much you pick up.
