Dr. Jon’s Aftershaves – A new generation of the classics

Overall Style4Men.ca score: My recent focus has been on after shaves and more after shave.  With the recent closing of the physical Men Essential store on Danforth Avenue in Toronto, the shop was having a 40% inventory liquidation sale.  As disappointed as I might have been at the store closing, a 40% sale is worthRead more

Hairgum Barber Shop – Shaving Soap and After Shave Smoothness

Overall Style4Men.ca score: If you are a regular at Style4men.ca you might agree that when I try out a new product that performs well, it is reported as the best thing ever.  Yes, I will admit to being enthusiastic about the stuff.  This brings us to this morning’s first shave test with the Hairgum shaveRead more

Reuzel Shave Cream – Superior Comfort

As part of my Christmas shopping I made a stop at Winner’s.  I now always take a look at their grooming stuff because I encountered some pleasant surprises in the past.  This visit was rewarded with some interesting finds; a shaving kit by Reuzel and a can of the Hairgum Strong hold pomade.  This reviewRead more

MANSOAP Aftershave – Naturally Smooth

A few weeks back I was visiting my friends at Not Your Father’s Barber in the Ottawa Byward market.  While  browsing some of the new products the shop was carrying, I noticed this rather stylish tall aluminum bottle.  Aaron mentioned that this was a nice aftershave produced by some local guys.  No need to sayRead more

Rockwell Shaving Cream and Aftershave Balm – Rocking my mug so well!

The Rockwell shaving products have been on my future test list since I became aware of them back when I joined the crowd funding program for the Rockwell 6C razor.  Le “Centre du Rasoir” is currently having a Rockwell sale and I figured that this was a good opportunity to pick up the Rockwell shavingRead more

Thayers Toner – A super after-shave enhancer

This is one of these products I got interested in because of my vintage cravings. It was suggested to me via an email ad from our friends at Men Essentials. When I first tried to buy it they were sold out and I forgot all about it.  But when I dropped by Men Essentials inRead 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. First off the Barburys products are fairly well presented. Read more

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

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. Up front, you need to know that this is an old-school type of aftershave. Nothing fancy that moisturizesRead more
