The rose fragrance is one of the staples in traditional British wet shaving. Well-known brands, such as the famous "3 Ts" (Trumper’s, Truefitt & Hill, and Taylor of Old Bond Street), have included rose in their lineup of soaps and creams for many years.

This article focuses on the central product of the TwinLuxe shaving line, the Smooth Shave Cream.

According to my mother, she can use it to remedy any problem from dry hair to stomach aches, and it’s true that olive oil is regarded as one of the best skin moisturizers.

For wet shavers, olive oil is commonly used as a primary ingredient in many pre-shave oils as well as in aftershave balms. A new shaving product, Oliveology Shave Gel, takes this to heart and uses extra virgin organic olive oil to provide a surprisingly enjoyable shave.
