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’ve been using a safety razor for, what, about a month now. I am far from an expert, as my neck will attest to at the moment, but I have picked up a few things and I thought I’d share them with you (for those who are considering going old skool):
Patience isn’t just a virtue, […]
I was given a couple Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razors recently to take on a test drive. You know that I’ve been a Gillette man since college and my first Atra razor. It’s only been recently that I’ve moved to the old school (and better) safety razor.
So, are five blades better than one? Does a […]
It’s been a few days since I’ve started shaving with my new safety razor, I’ve been learning a lot about shaving and, by extension, skin care.
First thing was mantic59’s comment not to increase the dial too quickly on the Merkur (since it is an adjustable safety razor after all), which I did. Except I made […]
I did it and lived. I had my first shave with the Merkur Progress safety razor. Really, it wasn’t bad. Only minor bleeding. One thing for sure is that I’m really glad I watched The Shaving Tutor’s video on how to shave with this bugger. Before I get into my experience (with pictures), here is […]
I’ve been doing a lot of reading about shaving since I started this blog. Not only have I been trying lots of products (and believe it or not my skin is not the worse for wear, I think it might even be better looking now), but I’ve been paying attention to the whole process of […]
I’ve been using a couple Neutrogena shaving products all week and now I’m ready for my review.
This week I’ve been using Neutrogena Razor Defense Shave Gel followed by Neutrogena Razor Defense Post-Shave Lotion. Like the Nivea products I reviewed last week, I gave these a test using the same procedure I always do. I try […]
You might have seen this link in my daily link finds over the weekend, but I just had to highlight this one, because it surprised me:
4. Use your deodorant. This is my favorite tip. Most deodorants have aluminum chloride or a derivative of aluminum chloride like aluminium chlorohydrate. It acts as a hemostatic agent, allowing […]
For the past week I’ve been trying Nivea’s Extreme Comfort shave gel and Aftershave balm. My initial review was, pretty positive. The neck irritation that I had before didn’t come back. Amazing what a fresh blade can do for a shave.
My favourite things about the shave gel are:
great lather. Doesn’t take much and you […]
Last week I mentioned Nivea’s new line of Extreme Comfort shave gel and post-shave balm–Nivea’s new line of shave gels and aftershave balms–the proof is in the scent–yesterday my samples arrived (thank you very much Daniel) so I knew this morning would be my first product review post.
This is just my initial, first shave, review, […]
