Kent Mens Range Shaving Brush

Advantages: good firm bristles, light weight, clean shave,
Disadvantages: useless stand

...I bought this product for my boyfriend for his birthday as he wanted some new shaving products. It is a lovely feeling a looking shaving brush with a good set of bristles (which havn't gone dishaped or ragged yet after regular use.) It is small and light enough to travel with and is very effective at making a nice fluffy lather (helped by the stiff bristles which don't sag when wet). The only disappointment with the brush is that the stand is entrily useless and can only be used to hold the brush up in its packaging, not independantly as shown in the picture. The men U free travel shaving wash was a nice touch with the brush too, although we have yet to use it but it smells lovely. Overall a good brush for everyday use, but would not pay more than 15 - 20 pounds.... Read review

Removing this prickly fuzz from the face should not be taken lightly and with out thought. Until about a year ago I had a silly goatee beard. I'd had this beard since I was old enough to grow bum fluff on my chin, and had never really got the hang of shaping and trimming it properly. I either shaved too much off one side then had to shave more off the other. Frankly it was a mess, and to be honest it was a bit ginger too. So the beard had to go. And with that I had to start a better shaving regime. I have a fairly funky looking Philip's Philishave, which if used for long enough (about an hour) will give a fairly good shave. But I've never really found an electric razor (in my price range) that matches a wet shave. I am prone... Read review

...My wife came home from the shops a few months ago, walked into the kitchen and slapped a can of King of Shaves Proshave Ultragel KXT on the table saying "If it's good enough for Beckham, then it's worth you giving it a try!". Now although she had read in one of her women's magazines that Beckham uses King of Shaves, she couldn't remember which of the many products in the range he actually used. So, knowing that I always moan about having to shave, having sensitive skin and a preference for products in pressurised cans, she grabbed this version. She then went on to say "And at just under £4 a can, it had better be good!". I agreed saying that if it wasn't, then this can would be heading straight for Old Trafford. Over the years I have tried many foams and gels, not forgetting of course the old soap and brush and I had settled... Read review
