The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream

Wednesday, September 01, 2010 Mike Sandoval

My friends at The Shaving Shack have sent a few products for me to review over the past months. I knew they were asking people to try The Bluebeards Revenge Shaving Cream, and honestly I was dodging Nick's requests to try it. I prefer more traditional products and I was hesitant to try a cream that contains an ingredient that affects hair growth. One day a box arrived at my house with a tub of the new shaving cream, so I tried to pawn it off on Isaac to write this review, but he didn’t want to use it either. I didn’t want to look like a "bum fluff brigade member" to Nick, so I gave it a try. I was damn glad I did.

Coate's Tea Tree Limited Edition Shaving Cream

Tuesday, August 24, 2010 Mike Sandoval

The reintroduction of this legendary shaving cream created a lot of buzz and I was excited to give it a try. When Coate's was first taken off the market, many guys stockpiled tubs out of fear that they'd never see it again. It was widely considered one of the best shaving creams available. I was eager to see if it still reigned supreme.

Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood

Monday, August 02, 2010 Mike Sandoval

One of the "younger" shaving companies in England, Cyril R. Salter has been produced a range of shaving products since the 1940s. Their shaving creams are available in a wide range of traditional fragrances and offer a good value for the budget-conscious wet shaver. Since sandalwood is one of my favorite scents, I was happy to give theirs a try.

Feather Nanka Shaving Gel

Tuesday, May 04, 2010 Ken Hinchliffe

Feather is most known for their sharper-than-anything-else DE blades, and a close second is their "I can't believe they got even sharper" Artist Club Straight system. If you do some looking around, however, you can also find Feather produces shaving gel and aftershave products. Lather-less creams/gels get a bad rap and normally are outright shunned by most wet shavers. Most of the time they are right since they provide little protection, have funky smells and are just not that much fun to use. The Nanka gel from Feather is one of those times when the general rule does not apply. I am quite a fan of Nanka Shaving Gel and I'll tell you why.

Castle Forbes Lime Essential Oil Shave Cream

Sunday, August 09, 2009 Ken Hinchliffe

In my previous reviews we had a look at Castle Forbes' offerings in the pre-shave and aftershave categories. What good are those though if you don’t have a shave cream to go with them?
