Speick Men: Shaving Cream

Speick Men: Shaving Cream

I picked up a tube of this shaving cream from The Motley at the price of $6.50 a tube! And I can tell you that at this price point, it easily out-performs many, if not all, in the same price category. It  works well with many of my favorite pre-shave oils and lathers easily. The nice subtle lavender fragrance [...]

Dreadnought: Shaving Cream

Dreadnought: Shaving Cream

If the design of this shave tub looks familiar, it’s because it is the new US counterpart to the UK’s- The Bluebeards Revenge. Due to a name conflict, the company had to delay the launch here in the US. So they re-grouped and come up with another name. So let’s give Dreadnought a warm USA welcome! Same great [...]

eShave: Orange Sandalwood Shave Cream

eShave: Orange Sandalwood Shave Cream

The 2011 Must Have Shaving Cream

The 2011 Must Have Shaving Cream

Last month’s POTM has won this years 2011 Must Have Shaving Cream. I had a difficult time choosing this year because there were so many great shaving creams, especially after I also tried the amazingly fragranced Tonsorial Shave Cream by the same company. But, the Elizabeth Street passed the finish line because it’s fragrance was much milder, and therefore [...]
