Shaving Products

A new product line out of Australia- Mr. Essentials will be entering the US men’s grooming market (this Fall) with a “splash” (no pun intended…). Their After Shave Splash is more than just a “great smelling” astringent/toner. It’s designed to help shrink enlarged pores while also tightening the skin. But, what’s more attractive to the average shaver, [...]

Once at a West Point Military Academy presentation, I had a Cadet ask me what shaving method I recommended for shaving in the field. Such a great question! My answer… “Consider working up a sweat, then use your razor.” But, if I tried the Dry Shave Gel by Bold For Men before the presentation  I may [...]

Black Pepper & Mint as fragrances in a shaving cream? What an interesting combination! Well, the Gentry Grooming Co.’s – The Shave Cream contains just that and it makes for a fun shave. When used as described, without a brush, it produced great lather that coats the skin with a nice subtle tingle that lingers without being [...]

I picked up a tube of this shaving cream from The Motley at the price of $6.50 a tube! And I can tell you that at this price point, it easily out-performs many, if not all, in the same price category. It  works well with many of my favorite pre-shave oils and lathers easily. The nice subtle lavender fragrance [...]

If the design of this shave tub looks familiar, it’s because it is the new US counterpart to the UK’s- The Bluebeards Revenge. Due to a name conflict, the company had to delay the launch here in the US. So they re-grouped and come up with another name. So let’s give Dreadnought a warm USA welcome! Same great [...]

Anyone who’s ever asked me for tips on how to shave has always heard me suggest the use of a pre-shave oil. So it’s only right that I try the best I can to review as many as possible to facilitate your shopping experience. Enter the newly designed Village Barber – Shave oil mixed with an amazing number of essential oils: Sweet Almond, Lavender, [...]

Let me first say that within the category of ingrown hair solutions, I set the bar pretty high mainly because ingrown hair challenges can be very common and worst of all unsightly, uncomfortable, and just down right frustrating. With that being said, I tried Bump Down – Razor Burn Relief by Barc and found that it was only somewhat effective [...]

Truefitt & Hill has a new addition to it’s product line-Authentic No. 10, which has 7 items within its line. Of all seven, I was most excited about trying their shave cream! With ingredients like- Willow Bark, Borage Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil, it produced an impressive lather that was surprisingly very easy to create. I had ample protection and [...]

There are good aftershave balms and there are not so good ones. There are also effective aftershave balms and then there are others that aren’t so much… This one – êShave’s Orange Sandalwood After Shave Soother, fits the good in both categories, good & effective. Mixed with common essential oils as it’s other partners in the [...]

êShave further complements it’s new Orange Sandalwood line with a pre-shave oil. Being a huge fan of pre-shave oils, I was very eager to try out the combination. Made of a highly refined extra-virgin formula, this oil adds the extra glide to further help its shave cream partner deliver a close and comfortable shave, while also adding an extra layer of [...]
