post shave

Guys, you already know how much I stress the need to use an aftershave balm after shaving. So, it should hopefully makes sense that I spent the better part of  last year and this year developing one that would effectively complement Burke Avenue’s Moisturizing Shave Cream, while also optimizing skin repair. That said, I am [...]

The A/S (aftershave) balm, is just as important to your face a shave cream is to shaving!   Because your face can be dry and irritated from shaving even more so in the winter months, the A/S balm is used to calm, moisturize and heal dry/irritated skin from the aggressive nature of shaving.

Sometimes knowing the right way to shave doesn’t always 100% solve the problem. So this is [...]

Well, it’s obvious that I have a great concern for men’s skin care.  To be more specific…how your skin feels after shaving.  Often my clients complain that their skin feels raw, or their face burns after they’ve shaved. Now, there are many reasons for this, (1) poor preparation (2) an old razor blade (3) or shaving against the grain.  [...]
