Acqua Di Parma Colonia - Collezione Barbiere Shaving Collection Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used the "old" Acqua Di Parma for decades. It's one of the best products made. I can tell you that if you "like" the feel and aroma of the old established Acqua Di Parma products, you will also like the feel and aroma of the new Barbiere; it has a softer, deeper, more mellow wild herb aroma. My wife "liked" the old Acqua; she LOVES the scent of the new one.

Classic Italian Cella Shave Shaving Creme Soap-150g-Hard Plastic Travel Container Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cella contain both coconut oil and tallow, two of the best lathering ingredients, and that is what makes it work so well: great lubrication and substantial lather that helps keep the whiskers moisturized (to soften them) and helps support the whiskers allowing the razor blade to get at them.
Cella's description in Italian ("crema da barba all'olio di mandorla") means "shaving cream with almond oil". Although it is called a cream it is more like a hard putty. Cella has a very pleasant almond scent. Note that like most shaving soaps the scent is not meant to, and indeed does not, linger for long after the shave. It does make the shaving experience pleasant!
This product is 150g in a very useful and tightly sealed container. This keeps it from drying out and makes it convenient for traveling. A large (1000g) block is available for refills but I think the soap has a shelf-life and it will take one person a very long time to get through 1000g of the soap. The 150g package lasts a very long time in itself.

Castle Forbes Lime Oil Shaving Cream Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you like a high quality shaving cream with a strong lime scent then then search no further. Compared to other lime scented creams such as Geo F. Trumpers Limes, which is very muted and subtle, this is more in your face (which I prefer). Great lathering and shave lubrication, too.

Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar Shaving Cream Jar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently started wet shaving (within the last two months) and have come to regard shaving as something I look forward to now. I use a Merkur Futura double-edged razor and have bought an assortment of different shaving creams to try, including Prorasso (italian eucalyptus stuff), Taylor of Bond Street (avocado) and the Truefitt & Hill Traflagar. My top choice is the Trufitt & Hill hands down.
While many people might see the $22 as expensive, most people need to realize that a very little goes a long way. This is not like the Edge Gel or Barbasol that you learned to shave with. This just requires a dab on the wet brush (a real badger hair brush) and a swirl in a small bowl sitting in a a bit of hot drawn water to create a warm and thick lather that will make you enjoy shaving again. I would estimate this jar will last about 6 months.
In looking at the cost of my new shave method (52 blades a year ($0.50 each), two jars of shaving cream a year ($22 each) comes to about $70 a year. Compare this to a blade every other week and a can of alcohol-based shave gel (which dries your skin) every other month for a cost of $60. Ten bucks more a year buys a much better shave.
I've noticed that my shaves take a bit longer, but my skin has cleared up of many of the bumps that I used to have. I also no longer have a 5 o'clock shadow at 3 in the afternoon. Best of all the shave is the closest thing I've ever had to the shave I got from a barber in Florence, Italy using a steady hand and a scary looking straight blade.
This is the best bet for a shave cream !

Edwin Jagger Double Edge (DE) Safety Razor - Lined Chrome Handle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My first safety razor. Almost every review I read about the Edwin Jagger said that it's better than the various Merkurs that everybody starts out with. Since it's only a few dollars more (in some cases cheaper), I figured I'd make the leap with this one.
For me, the shave is close, comfortable, and smooth. I feel like I have better control with this than a cartridge, especially with the angle and location of the blade against my face. This has a very impressive heft and finish. The metal is super shiny, but grip is never an issue, even with wet/soapy hands.
This is a quality product at a good price. It feels good in the hands, and it does its job well. If you're tired of getting ripped off by cheap-feeling overpriced cartridge razors like I was, give this a try; you won't look back.

Geo F. Trumper Violet Shaving Cream Jar 200g Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Smooth, luxurious, smells great, and provides a close, great shave. Amazing stuff. The tub will last for many months if you use sparingingly with a brush. There's nothing like waking up with this stuff in the mornings. Truly amazing in smell, but most importantly, yields an amazingly close, non-irritating shave. Price on this site is a rip-off.

Merkur Long Handled Double Edge Safety Razor Chrome #180, 10 Double Edge Platinum Blades Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was always looking to get the old fashioned shave. After years of blowing money on Machs, I wish I'd done this sooner. Like the other reviews say, use the weight of the shaver no pressure. just heat your face up with a hot wet towel and get some nice lather going with the brush and let it slide down your neck and face. Just let it roll...nice and easy. Dont rush or you will cut yourself. just take your time and do a good job and you wont have to shave again for 2 days. I have facial hair that is tougher to trim than steel wool. This thing is like a hot knife through butter. Paired with a 100% Silvertip Badger Bristle Shaving Brush here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UB3BF8/ref=oss_product********and a tin of Taylor of Old Bond Street Avocado Shaving Cream
here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QFZ1QK/ref=oss_product...get all three working together and you have the smoothest skin since you were 6 years old!
5 stars!!!!ADVICE******
Dont go for kits just because it comes with a brush and a stand.. Most kits pair a popular razor with a mediocre brush and a stand that costs a dollar to make.
go the extra mile and get them separately and they will last for years.
my kit is a drop in the bucket compared to years of money on stupid mach 3's cartridges? I've been using mach 3 since it came out in 1998. Thats 12 years ago!
Do the math. average 12 pack of mach 3's 23.00 x 1 year about 6 12 packs a year for me = 138 x 12 years = $1656I think you get the idea.

Arko Shaving Soap Stick - 12+3 free pcs. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Years ago a fellow could purchase a "Shaving Stick" (along with a holder that worked like a lipstick tube) instead of mug soap for his shaving mug. They're hard to find nowadays (it's made in Turkey and Egypt), but this ARKO stuff is terrific.
To use a shaving stick like ARKO, you rub the stick all over your (wet) face, then whip up the lather with a wet brush. Quite frugal, well-suited for today's penny-pinching times. Yet, it gives a much better shave than any shaving foam (IMHO) that comes out of a can.
It works as well or better than most shaving soaps, has a distinctive fragrance, and eliminates the necessity for a shaving mug. Definitely worth a try.

Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor Blades- 3 Pack of 10 Blades Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The blades are inexpensive, work well and they do last for a few shaves. They were the first ones I tried, and I actually have a Merkur razor so I thought they'd work well together. However, after trying the Derby Extra's, I have to say that those are much better blades. As always your mileage may vary. I would recommend getting less than a 3 pack and just giving them a try if you really want to test them out.

Merkur Twin Razor Blades 5 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Merkur twin blades are far superior to Gillette. They are sharper and have a cleaner edge. The lubricated strip does the job without leaving a slime on your skin like Gillette.
I am bald and shave my head daily. Merkur twin blades give the closest, smoothest shave I have ever had without knicks or scratches. These blades hold there edge. Highly recommended.

Merkur Heavy Duty Double Edge Razor #34C + 5 Free DE Razor Blades Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm African American and a military officer. Clean shaves are a must daily and I've tried it all...magic shave, mach 3, Fusion (or as I call it mach 5), Norelco Nivea for men shavers and clippers. All had their positives but mixing chemicals daily became tiring and in-grown hairs were unsightly. So, after much research I decided to try wet-shaving. This has made a world of difference.
The Merkur HD is my first razor. Using Art of Shaving products and Merkur blades, I'm able to get a close shave with no razor burn/bumps. Occasionally I'll get an in-grown but I blame my technique (I still cut myself every now and then...usually when I'm in a rush). This razor definitely has some weight to it and I find the blade loading/unloading simple although not as cool as the "butterfly" razors.
I highly recommend this product for a beginner. Blades are equally as important. I have found Merkur blades to be the happy medium between quality and sharpness although Feather's clearly are samurai sword sharp. Make sure you get a good quality badger brush and shaving cream/soap. Good luck!

Personna Platinum Chrome Double Edge Razor Blades * 10 Blades Per Package Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are the blades they sell at local drugstores. They are priced similar to good ones but are very poor. I only get one shave out of them before the are too dull to use. A good blade should go 3-5 shaves with proper maintenance between shaves (keep it clean and dry). I would not order these and pay shipping. Much better blades out there for the same price.

Proraso Sapone da Barba ( Shaving Cream with Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol ) Hair Removal Products Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Without question the best shaving product in my experience. Used with plenty of hot water, a double edged razor, and a brush (up and down strokes are best) and you can expect the closest, most comfortable shave ever. The scent is manly but not macho, and is very light in any case after you wash it off, and you don't need to use aftershave either. Wonderful.
If you use a brush, make sure to get a good badger hair brush (expect to spend anywhere from twenty to forty dollars for a decent but inexpensive brush that will last a decade or more.) Make sure to also get a brush stand like the Nickel Shaving Brush Holder to keep water from seeping into the handle, which shortens the life of the brush.

Merkur Model 38 Hd Classic "Barber Pole" Long Safety Razor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)News Flash...2008.
Razor Scientists have developed a radical new razor called the DE or "Double Edge" Razor. This futuristic, yet elegant, device is made of durable metal instead of the usual plastic and it is machined so well that it would be possible that a single DE Razor could last the average shaver a lifetime. This new shaving device uses amazing "mono blade" technology that delivers a shave as close as the finest multi-blade cartridge system, but the blades are completely bio-degradable and have a tiny "carbon footprint." By a stroke of pure genius the replacement blades will cost about a tenth that of a classic cartridge and will actually provide two complete edges, in essence giving you two blades for the price of one. Since there is only one cutting surface you no longer have to worry about clogging the razor head with hair and shave cream and the DE Razor is less likely to cause bumps and other skin conditions.
An excellent example of this stunning new DE Razor technology is the Merkur Barber Pole DE Razor. Excellent construction, fine finish and craftsmanship combined with real heft and retro styling make this razor a real winner.
Like most state of the art technology, there is a slight learning curve when using this powerful device. The razor does all of the work, so don't apply any pressure and take short strokes instead of the long ones that you were using with current old-style cartridge system razor. Your small efforts will be rewarded with the knowledge that you are not only more "green" but you also have the latest new tech toy on the block.
In a related story, shaving researchers have created a solid shaving lubricant called a shaving soap puck. This highly concentrated pellet can provide at least as many shaves as a can of shaving foam and doesn't use propellants or a steel aerosol can. Foam is created by simply whisking a wet puck with a soft and long life "shaving brush" which is then used to apply/massage the foam on the users face. The system is so sophisticated that unused foam is automatically recycled to be used for the next shave.
FACT??? FICTION??? FANTASY??? OUTRAGEOUS EXAGERATION???
Well, it is all true, but the basic design wasn't developed in 2008, it was developed over 100 years ago and it is likely that your grandpa and possibly your dad used it. Stop paying $3 for a razor cartridge. Put that cash in your pocket and give the Merkur Barber Pole DE razor a try!

CO Bigelow Premium Menthol Shave Cream with Eucalyptus Oil - 5.2 oz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this shaving cream. The smell is pleasant and subtle, and it lathers up easily with a good shaving brush. The lather is about the finest I've used in my time as a wet shaver. I bought a 1.75oz tube of it at Bath & Body Works at a local mall for $5. Used properly even a small tube will last for a good long while. I've been shaving with the one I have for upwards of two months.
A little history for you fine folks- C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream is just a re-brand of Proraso, and Italian shaving cream. They're identical in smell, lather, performance and chemical composition.
