wet shaving

Today’s post will address a question that quite a few have asked me since I posted this video about how often we should be changing blades. Sure, 3-5 shaves can make the pocket pretty light especially with the price point of many of these blades on the market; except of course if you’re using a DE Razor… but let me stay on [...]

There are a lot of guys that enjoy shaving with pre-shave oils, and I’m one of them! It’s a great option for adding an extra barrier of protection, and greater glide to their shaving regimen. So it’s no surprise that I’ve noticed an increase in men opting for this shaving practice. But what I find interesting is [...]

Based on overwhelming client feedback, the best shave experience is [...]

Being a STRONG advocate of aftershave balms, I always enjoy trying out new ones that come on the market. TASK Essential has clearly created quite a bit of attention with their choice of bright red boxes and simplified product list. So of course I had to try a few! Their aftershave balm speaks of calming [...]

I love hearing success stories about how shaving “across the grain“ has changed so many shavers lives. It’s a great feeling to wake up in the morning, shave, and leave the house without feeling the slightest irritation of any sort! But from time to time, I hear that some guys still struggle with a painful shave. What I’ve come [...]

So you have the thick versions of pre-shave oil and then you have the thin ones. This pre-shave oil by Eshu, easily falls in between both consistencies.
