1.Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Shaving Cream 150 ml. from: Proraso

 : Proraso Eucalyptus & Menthol Shaving Cream 150 ml.


After a lifetime of using shaving cream out of a can, I decided to try this product. After reviewing some instructional videos on youtube, I have found that making my own shaving cream takes only a few minutes. I had originally bought a very cheap shaving brush (about $4) and did find a better quality brush worked better, I spent about $13 for my new badger hair brush. I have found my face doesn't dry out as much with the tube shaving cream and I get a closer shave.

Yeah I'm a cheap skate when it comes to shaving (the reason I tried out DE style razors) and I could be more pleased with a shaving cream than I am with PRORASO. Leaves your face feeling cool and refreshed after your shave due to the Eucalyptus in it.

Best when used with a Badger hair brush and good hot water, a Double Edge razor takes it even further.

You only need barely enough to cover the tip of one finger and you'll have enough lather to make a few passes or more. Basically this 10-dollar tube will last you MONTHS! Yeah try that with your can of GOO from Wally World. You might get a couple weeks maybe a month out of them and they cost close to the price of this tube each bottle. I would go as far as saying it's about 10 bottles to one Proraso tube.

 : Merkur Double Edge Safety Razor Blades 3-Pack


There's nothing particularly wrong with Merkur blades, but they don't provide enough of a positive difference over the competition to be worth the extra cost. These are very basic razor blades, selling on Amazon for between $.50 - $.75 per blade. You can get Derbys for $.20 (100-pack for $20, with Amazon's free shipping), or get a pack of generic blades from Walgreen's, Wal-Mart, or any local pharmacy (almost all generic brand blades in the US are made by the American Safety Razor Company, and are surprisingly effective) for between $.15 (Wal-Mart) and $.35 (Walgreens) a blade. And if it's quality you're after, you should be using Feather or Swedish Gillettes. I have used Merkur, and they provide a fine shave, but there are cheaper solutions that do as good of a job.

 : Musgo Real Shave Cream - Classic Scent


Well, this may be THE best shaving cream I have ever used. If it is not the best, it is in the Top 3, ever.
The lanolin is the ticket here. After applying with a brush, the shave is sooooooooooo smooth and comfortable. The scent is soooooooooo complex and interesting.
If I had to choose on cream to shave with for the duration, it might be Musgo Real!

 : Merkur Classic Safety Razor, Straight - #178 - Made In Germany


I bought this razor from another place, but I had been scoping it out here for awhile and felt I had to write a review. I'm 20 years old so I'm not an old timer with nostalgia, I just was looking for a better shave. It just happens to be a better shave that is much much cheaper.
When I first got this I was afraid of cutting my face off. I'm happy to say I've been using it a week with not a single cut. It is absolutely amazing how much better this is than my old Gillette fusion. It is much closer, and absolutely zero irritation. Even where I used to get irritated on my neck is absolutely irritation free. I seriously recommend taking the plunge and getting one of these. You won't regret it, and it will quickly pay for itself.

Prices subject to change.


This only the second shaving brush I've used, the first being a really cheap boar hair brush. The Tweezerman is much better. It cleans and dries much more quickly, and it doesn't lose as many bristles per shave as the cheaper one. I'm giving it a four because it's a the first badger hair brush I've used, and perhaps the more expensive ones do a better job.

If you're just getting started with wet-shaving, I'd go with the Tweezerman. You don't want to invest in a really expensive brush, then end up not liking it. This one does its job and is not overpriced.

 : Groom Mate Platinum XL Nose & Ear Hair Trimmer


That pretty much sums up how I feel about this product. The Platinum XL nose hair trimmer simply works and is simple to operate. There are no bells and whistles to get in the way of doing what this very well made product is supposed to do and that is to easily remove unwanted nasal hair. I figured out the best way to use it within a minute of getting it out of the package. I have not pulled any hairs out yet by the roots as I used to with my last battery model.

If you want a nose hair clipper that is built to last forever and backed up by a lifetime warranty and that is made in this country then look no further.

 : Musgo Real Lime Glyce Soap


The other reviewer made a mistake here; this is not a shaving soap, it's a pre-shave soap; that is, you're meant to wash your face with it, then rinse, and THEN use a shaving cream or soap. This is not for lathering in a mug. What it DOES do is clean your face and prepare your beard so that your shaving cream or soap will be more effective; in this regard it is excellent, and you should try it; it lasts forever as well.
