SHAVERBOY Safety Razor Blades – Unbeatable shave for the price

I was recently shopping on eBay for some double-edge safety razor blades.  Somewhere in the search, I was presented with a brand I had never heard about; SHAVERBOY.  The simple and friendly brand image made me smile right away.  I decided to get out of eBay and research the brand.  This lead me to theirRead more

This weekend I was in Toronto with my family for an urban vacation.  It’s becoming a yearly little visit to our Canadian metropolis.  As part of this visit, I obviously wanted to make the most of it and make a stop at one of Toronto’s top barbershops.  I ran a few queries on Google toRead more

ZIRH Erase Aftershave Relief Tonic – A non-alcoholic liquid solution

I have been meaning to write a follow up to the ZIRH shave cream for a while now.  Perhaps 2 months after buying the ZIRH shave cream jar I was finally able to get my hands on their aftershave tonic at Winner’s (again).  My preference is always to use shaving products together as the workingRead more

Barburys Shave Cream and Aftershave Balm

Having been impressed with the Barburys pomade I picked up at Sally Beauty, I decided to try more products from their line.  I got a bottle of their shampoo-conditioner combo, shaving cream and after-shave lotion.  This review will cover the shaving cream and after shave lotion.

Hard Butter Pre-Shave and Post-Shave Salves

This post is a follow up to the initial post on the Hard Butter post shave salve I tried a few weeks back.  The makers of the Hard Butter product line liked our review and were kind enough to drop off a full suite of their 5 products for Testing/Review.  A big thank you forRead more

TABAC original Shaving Cream

This morning was testing time for a product from the 60’s;  the TABAC Shaving Cream.  Back then it had a rather large following and this morning it became clear why that was.  I vaguely remember this brand when I was a kid.  It could be found everywhere from the pharmacies to the department store perfumeRead more

REUZEL Aftershave – A new take on a classic

During my visit at “Barbier So Gentelmen“, I was impressed to see that they held the full REUZEL product line. It was a perfect opportunity to pick up the aftershave I had been wanting to try out.

Defiance Shaving Soap by Dr. Jon’s – My new favorite

This morning I shaved using the Dr. Jon’s shaving soap.  Honestly, I had pretty much decided that shave soaps were not for me about a year ago after some less than stellar results using some main-stream commercial soaps.  I am so very glad I got pulled in by the retro-cool packaging/Labeling of Dr. Jon’s productsRead more
