The Kent of Inglewood Preshave Balm and Hoxton safety razor

This review is about a razor and a pre-shave balm both coming from Kent of Inglewood.  The story starts some 2 years ago when I was referred to a shaving supply store in Ottawa.  When I got there, the sign on the store front indicated Knife Wear.  Inside, the shop was a blade aficionado’s paradise!Read more

Beard oils are for every guy!

This post has been rumbling in my head for some time.  It’s more of “TIP” kind of post than a product review and I hope it will help elevate your mug’s comfort level. The market is flooded with all these awesome beard oils.  Every one of them is offering a better scent than the otherRead more

First contact with Oil Can Grooming

Totally psyched to opening up some goodies from the Oil Can Grooming company.  If there was an award for men’s grooming products packaging, these guys would be at the top of my list with their perfectly rendered mini oil cans.  There is nothing else like them out there!  I am a huge fan of theRead more

IMPERIAL Barber Grade Products – Offering an Impressive Shave Suite

A bit over 4 year ago, when I was first exploring pomades and undergoing my spiritual conversion, one of the pomade that greatly contributed to this process was the one from IMPERIAL. This pomade was so good that it got a little spot of its own in my overall chart and scale of hair stylingRead 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

ZIRH Pre-Shave Oil and Aloe Vera Shaving Cream – Yes ZIRH!

For the longest time I have wanted to try the ZIRH brand.  Years ago, I remember seeing it in the fancy isle at Shoppers Drug Mart but in the past years it has entirely disappeared from the shelves in Canada. Of course, it can be found on-line, but I was appalled by the shipping costsRead more

PRORASO RED Pre-Shave Cream – Solid

Having had such great results with the Proraso sensitive skin pre-shave cream (white) and having totally enjoyed the thickness and scent of the sandalwood shaving cream (red), it was just a question of time before I tried out the Proraso Pre-Shave Cream with sandalwood oil and shea butter (red). That turned out to be lastRead more
