After trying a lot of after after shave balms, I’ve noticed that they are “new school” creams to sooth the skin, but what about the old school alcohol-based ones with a “bite” to them? Well Russell at Shaving Stuff tried the the John Allan’s splash and was both shocked and surprised:
[A plea to […]

I hadn’t really heard of or tried pre-shave oils or shave oils until recently. The premise is simple of course, a nice skin-friendly (good smelling is nice, but not critical to the function) oil that you put on before your shave creme/gel or use alone.
Regardless of gel, creme, soap, or oil the idea around […]

I received several samples of SircuitSkin’s “cosmeceuticals” Smooth Operator shave creme, x-trap face wash, and Cool Aid after shave balm. Since I’m not the greedy type, I shared them around with some friends (like my lawyer) to get their opinions on them.
Basically, yeah this stuff is good, works, it doesn’t smell over powering, and […]

Recently I reviewed a body wash from Old Spice, and I liked it. I’ve been using a similar body wash from Gillette as well and comparing the two is pretty interesting.
Both have similar textures (Gillette is purple, Old Spice blue), and do similar things and do it well.
I liked the Hydrating body wash fine, but […]

I’ve heard of this before, using Preparation H on your eyes to get rid of puffiness, but I hadn’t read anything about it. Well, now I have. Call me wussy, but yeah I’m not going to put it on my eyes.
Preparation H is, of course, a hemorrhoid cream. It contains phenylephrine, a powerful constrictor […]

In the past couple months there have been a raft of “clinical strength” and “pro strength” antiperspirants on the market. I have to say that I’m more than a tad doubtful about them. I tend to get antsy when stuff is cranked up to an 11 on the keep you from sweating scale of things. […]

I received a sample of the new Old Spice Red Zone Double Impact body wash and gave it a try this weekend. In short it looks different, smells good, and feels different. Is it better and does it make a difference, that’s the key question.
I like the recent body wash for men trend. I like […]

Father’s Day is coming and if you’re looking for a last minute gift, how about making him some nice shave soap?
I got this in an email recently and saw these shave soap kits on this soap making site. The kit is geared for kids to help/do and includes a shaving brush. The kit lists for […]

You all should know by now that I’m a pretty big skeptic when it comes to all these products. Sure they look and smell great but, do they work and are they worth it. That’s my big question. So of the products that I was sent to try from Neutrogena in their men’s line, […]

Even-though CJ is at a beauty blogging conference I decided, undaunted, to try the Three Custom Colour makeup for men that I received recently.
Yes, on my own.
Really.
Believe it or not … I didn’t do too badly and, no one could tell I was wearing makeup. How do I know? Because this was a true field […]
