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

Pinaud-Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum After-Shave – Authentic scent

Lately I have become more and more interested in scents and fragrances of the middle 20th century. Sandalwood and Bay Rum are some of the recurring fragrance to surface from that time. As part of my fascination with this period and how things use to be, it was really just a question of time beforeRead more

MARRAKESH Bomber Shave Cream – Amazing lubrication without the oily residue

Always being on the look-out for new products to try, I picked up an inconspicuous bottle of shaving cream at OBSCO, the MARRAKESH Bomber Argan and Hemp oil Shave Cream. Sadly, there was only the shaving cream, no companion after shave bottle. As, you know I always prefer to try shaving product as they whereRead more

Pinaud-Clubman Shaving Cream

On Monday, I dropped in at OBSCO for some old-school Pinaud-Clubman products. The Pinaud Talc and a can of Pinaud shaving cream is what I was after. The green containers and classic presentation are unmistakable. Simplicity and elegance from another time. As you can see in the picture below, this a fairly large bottle atRead more

Pinaud-Clubman Talc – Still a great solution

On Monday, I dropped in at OBSCO for some old-school Pinaud-Clubman products. The Pinaud Talc and a can of Pinaud shaving cream is what I was after. The green containers and classic presentation is unmistakable. Simplicity and elegance from another time. This post will be about the Pinaud talc. Yes, talc! The same kind ofRead more

Clubman-Pinaud Eau de Portugal Hair Tonic

To date the only hair tonic I had explored was the one from Reuzel. After a period of unclarity as to what a hair tonic is used for, its purpose painted itself as a fantastic hair style revival solution. Hair Tonics claim a number of things: adds more shine, removes or kills dandruff, as aRead more

Lucky Tiger Vanishing Cream – A rocking icy revelation

The test that was the most fun this week and I should say, most surprising was the Lucky Tiger Vanishing cream. This is the second Lucky Tiger product I have tested and based on the results of their Cru-butch pomade, I was fairly sure that this stuff would not disappoint. This is an after shavingRead more

Rowdy Paste by Sudzz – incredible scent

This week I got to try out another product from Sudzz thanks to our friends at OBSCO, the Rowdy Paste. Paste is somewhat different from pomade as it is considerably stickier. If anything, paste is quite close if not the same thing as mud or clay. Maybe a little more refined. Since I had beenRead more

HEADGEAR Molding Mud – Something to get dirty about

As part of my regular visit to OBSCO, I picked up a jar of HEADGEAR Molding Mud. Some months back I had tried the HEADGEAR Memory Glue thinking it was a pomade but it turned out to be a gel. For a gel it was a good product, but it wasn’t a pomade. During thisRead more

Pinaud-Clubman Lime Sec – A flashback after shave

I have been meaning to put a post about the Pinaud-Clubman Lime-sec for a while now, but haven’t quite known where to start. I picked up a bottle of Lime sec at OBSCO before the Christmas break. The labeling identifies it as an “eau de cologne” as opposed to an after-shave. Product placement on theRead more
