Dreadnought Post Shave Balm
I’ve already had the pleasure of reviewing Dreadnought’s shaving cream, as well as interviewing their marketing manager, Justin. Now, I come full circle and review the Dreadnought Post Shave Balm. I really like their shaving cream, and I still use it sometimes (when I don’t have other shaving creams to review…I’m so spoiled). Needless to...
Lock Stock & Barrel Argan Blend Shave Oil
So you may remember that we gave away two bottles of the Lock Stock & Barrel Argan Blend Shave Oil, but I figured this stuff should get some more attention by way of a review. Lock Stock & Barrel has a pretty killer lineup that we’ve covered at length, and the shave oil is no exception...
Billy Jealousy Whipped Cream
Whipped cream? I thought they sent me over some shaving supplies. Oh… wait. Billy Jealousy Whipped Cream is not for your pie or your hot chocolate, but for your face. It literally feels like you’re putting culinary whipped cream on your face, which is an interesting change from the run-of-the-mill shave creams out there. However,...
Speick Shaving Cream
No, gents, despite its design, that’s not toothpaste. This is the German-made Speick shaving cream. This cream, first of all, is extremely affordable–a tube is only $6.50 and should last you a few months. Yeah, it’s more than that Barbasol junk, but if you actually care about your shave and your skin, the price is...
Merkur Chrome Safety Razor
Gentlemen: listen up. This is the real deal. No frills, one blade, chrome-built, and simple as a pencil. This is shaving at its finest. The good folks at The Motley hooked me up with this Merkur DE safety razor and there’s no looking back for me. While this might not be the fanciest double-edge razor, it...
Portland General Store Aftershave Splash
For many years I was one of those guys who never used aftershave. I’d always ask myself, “What’s the point?” Thinking it was nothing more than just another product for Gillette to sell, I never really went about buying any. However, I started slow with some cheapo brands. Over time, I noticed how it acts...
Dreadnought Shaving Cream
I’ve had some pretty good fortune over the past couple weeks to try some really great shaving products. I’m pleased to bring Dreadnought to the list. Not only did they send over a jar of their shaving cream, but also their pretty cool “avenger” shaving brush to boot (thanks, guys). FYI: they also have a...
Brooklyn Grooming: Shave and Serum
Usually, I like to keep articles to one grooming product at a time. However, this 1-2 punch from Brooklyn Grooming‘s shave oil and facial serum is so connected that it really made sense to talk about them both as a single unit. First of all, it’s worth mentioning that Brooklyn Grooming is Brooklyn’s first men’s...
Rocky Mountain Shave Co. IPA Shave Soap
I’ve only used a few shave soaps in my time (I usually use oils), but I was intrigued by the Homebrew IPA soap. Rocky Mountain Shaving Co. sent me a sample of their shave soap to try out, and I knew it would be great right from the start. As you may remember from my interview...
Rocky Mountain Shave Co. Aftershaves
Recently, I received some vials in the mail from Jake, the founder of Rocky Mountain Shave Co., and I couldn’t wait to try them out. RMSC is based in the U.S.A. and their website is totally powered on wind–way cool. I was lucky enough to receive all three scents, and while each one is drastically different,...
The Shave: American Crew Shave Oil
I’ve tried many different forms of shaving products–shaving cream from an aerosol can, gels, soaps, creams, and even just straight water. Until now, I’ve never used an oil. However, I should have used this product years ago. American Crew’s lubricating shave oil is one of the best things ever. Yes, I also love Ursa Major’s products,...
