Shaving

For many men electric shaving is the most suitable irritation-free option. For others, it’s honestly the quickest and easiest way to get the job done. Whatever your reason, adding a pre-shave solution to your shave may yield a closer and more comfortable experience! Kyoku for Men’s – Electric Pre-Shave Optimizer, provides an excellent mixture of ingredients to create [...]

No great shave ends without using a product that’s designed to heal and moisturize the skin, right? (See Post: Put something on… sheesh!) So I guess an after-shave balm would be in order! Enter, Kyoku for Men’s Razor Repair Balm. Packed with aloe vera, chamomile, ancient Japanese oils and the age-old after shave splash – Witch [...]

Razor burn… Just saying the words make me angry! Why? Because it should never happen to me or anyone else. We should all hate it. The redness, burning, itching, over-sensitivity… these are all symptoms. And the worst part is that these symptoms can lead to more visible frustration, razor bumps! How you get it and its severity depends on many reasons [...]

The Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream may just be the answer for all of  those tough-beard sufferers out there! You know, the guys with the 5 o’clock shadow that appears at noon?

Then after that, buy this!  ~> Eyre BioBotanics Cehami After Shave Balm This after shave’s main ingredient is Cehami, a native Australian plant that has anti-inflammatory and skin renewal properties. That means that it’s perfect for the every day [...]

Yeah! I said it… Why? Because the goal of getting a “baby’s butt” smooth shave is not the answer for everyone… Period! As a barber, my goal is to take a look at a man’s skin and beard, and make an assessment as to how I should shave him the closest I can; comfortably and irritation free. Surprisingly, [...]

What do you do? Well, the first thing is to make sure that you are definitely doing what I recommended in my previous post (See Post: Is shaving making the skin on your face darker?). Then after that, you could try a skin brightener… No, just kidding! The results of skin brighteners are extremely varied. Do I really [...]
