The Jester of Shaves

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Utterly useless

...Boots and bought the AlphaGel Shaving Gel which, apparently, does not need to be foamed up first as other gels do, but can simply be left on your face as a gel and the blades will glide through it. What actually happened, however, was that the blades scooped all the gel up so that they became utterly clogged with the stuff that they then became even more useless. After only my second attempt at using this razor I was already on to another set of blades, and the experience didn't improve from there. Despite their promises that the Endurium cartridges are specially coated to make them last longer than ordinary blades, by the third attempt at shaving with this device I was having to move gingerly to prevent razor burn. Will King assures us, in his promotional blurb, that the Azor razor is light, easy to use and will last a lifetime. His...

Review of King of Shaves Azor Hybrid Synergy Razor

Life Changing Events -after a stroke.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: May change your life forever.

...and devotion to her family and to the community, and that the loss of intellect is not to be interpreted as a loss of character or feelings. She is still the same soul who days before was living as you or I" My father worked tirelessly to transfer her to a rehabilitation unit. After the initial intensive care involved with having a stroke, (which is primarily the responsibility of the doctors and nurses where they try to ensure that the patient will not have another stroke by the use of test results which determine relevant medications.) the main role then falls to the physiotherapy, and occupational therapy disciplines who are a lifeline for stroke victims. Part of the brain has been damaged by the event. To a certain extent what happens afterwards is determined by the extent of these injuries and the ability of the brain to recover from them...

Review of After A Stroke

no more burning after a shave

Advantages: great for men with sensitive skin
Disadvantages: none yet!

...I purchased this product after recommendation from a friend who was suffering from the same symptoms as me! (burning sensation after a shave) I will never look back not only has it got a lovely fragrance which leaves you feeling refreshed and clean, it also has a cooling effect when shaving so theres no more burning. This shaving gel comes in a 500ml bottle with an easy to squirt lid, which doesn't squirt out too much. It squirts out as a gel and with a little bit of water lathers up to a large amount, so you only need a little squirt.It's also on offer at my local coop chemist for the bargain price of a pound!!! its normally £1.95 or there about. After using it your skin feels smooth and theres no need to apply a balm afterwards as its so good, it even makes shaving easier as the razor glides across, and it doesnt feel like...

Review of Nivea For Men Shaving Gel Sensitive

For Ladies That Shave

Advantages: Good make, pleasant fragrance, rich and thick, moisturises
Disadvantages: None for me

...I really only bought Johnson's Silky Satin, shower and Shave Cream as it was on offer. It retailed at around £1.40 for a 250ml, plastic bottle in Netto. The pink packaging is very reminiscent of Johnson's Baby products and very distinctive. The idea behind the product is that this body wash works as a great cleanser that offers rich moisturising for your skin and also enables you to have a great shave of your underarm area or whatever. Obviously it is designed with women in mind. So just what do you get for your money? The body wash is a pale, but bright, pink in colour. To look at it reminds me of the old Nulon hand cream which my Mum used. To my mind the fragrance is simply a clean, soapy, sort of smell, with a slight perfume. The consistency of the cream is rich and silky. Put a small amount of this product onto your skin...

Review of Johnson's Shower and Shave Cream

A Close Shave.

Advantages: smells great, good value for money, lasts a long time
Disadvantages: Gel can gather around the nozzle area

...on the 'buy one get one free' offer. Look When you press down the top of the canister, the gel comes oozing out and at first looks like minty blue toothpaste. After about 10 seconds, the gel begins to whiten a little and looks like a cross between gel and foam. Smell Personally I really like the smell of this. It smells similar to men's Lynx Touch deodorant and has a very refreshing smell to it; it certainly wakes me up when I am shaving in the mornings. I find that the scent remains on my face for about an hour after shaving. Applying The Gel As above, depress a small amount of gel into the palm of your hand. Be sure not to squeeze out too much, as this gel does expand as you begin to use it. Once you have enough in your hand, begin to rub it onto your face (or the area you are shaving) and it will begin to foam up. I would say that...

Review of Gillette Shave Gel Coolwave

* A close shave too . .

Advantages: Very good for you, and for the Earth.
Disadvantages: It does cost the Earth (OK Slightly expensive)

...OK, you are lucky enough to get me doing a review from this section, I can't believe I am doing a review on something from the "Beauty" section! The Company, American Crew, was formed in 1994, selling shampoos and shower gels, also shaving accessories of course, This particular product is called a herbal shave cream, and I didn't realise it was "herbal" when I tried it, perhaps the aroma is not that strong, or maybe I was just missing something. I did find the shave very smooth, and my skin felt even smoother afterwards. Small secret, I did not buy this, it was a freebie gift, from hairdrersser who got it as a sample. She has never done shaves, so it was oflittle use to her in the salon. being a woman, she could not possibly use it on herself, I suppose I would feel the same about "Lady" type shaving things. All I know is, I...

Review of American Crew Shaving Products Crew Herbal Shave Cream

Shaving gel to stick hair up

Advantages: Helps razor glide along
Disadvantages: None

.... Massage the gel into the face to be shaved this softens the stubble. Wet your razor and shave as usually, because the gel is clear you can see exactly where you have shaved. The razor glides over the skin and rinsing the razor as i go along is easy as the hairs do not seem to get stuck in the blades as with some gels i have used. After drying my face the results are good my face is nic free and no soreness. The skin feels soft to the touch with no dryness. Conclusion :- Another top quality product from the Real Shaving Company. The gel is a good price is not messy with little or no wastage. Acts like a moisturiser as your face feels soft but you still need to moisturise and gives you a clean shave with no cuts or soreness as long as you do the preparation. Would recommend this product to anyone who shaves even the ladies....

Review of Real Shaving Gel

Queen of shaves

Advantages: smooth shave
Disadvantages: none

...After just waiting a week for my free sample of King of Shaves gel for Women, I finally tried it one day this week. i applied for the sample from 2001freebie site, most of the stuff arrives quite quickly. In my envelope I got a shaving gel for women, and a shaving oil. The gel is in a sachet, which i thought was difficult to open. It had a tab which said twist to open, after doing a Chubby Checker dance round the bathroom I then realised they meant TWIST the tab open. not do the twist dance.LOL. Once I got into the sachet with a pair of scissors, I applied the gel to my armypits. At first I thought it was rubbish as the gel is very thin in consistency. Apparently this is to help you see where you are shaving. Normal foam or gel lathers up and you can't see where the hairy bits are. There were little bubbles in the gel which...

Review of King of Shaves Alphagel Shaving Gel

Queen of shaves!

Advantages: Best shaving gel ever. Really effective
Disadvantages: None!

...I really like this shaving gel. Before they brought out the range especially for women, I would always buy the guy stuff just because it is the best stuff I have ever tried. This new King of Shaves gel, the smooth and moisturise one is really good as it doesn't dry the skin out on my legs after I have shaved, which some gels do. Because it is a gel, and it doesn't really foam up, it is easy to see where you have shaved and lets you shave closer to the skin. I also like how this particular one is fragrance free, because some of the shaving gels just smell so sickly This gel is really good for lubricating your legs so the razor really glides along and does not cause a shaving rash. The tube is big enough to last for a while (they come in 175ml sizes, and you don't have to use much each time you shave) and cost around £3.50, which is...

Review of King of Shaves Woman Shave & Moisturise Shaving Gel

* Fancy a Badger shave? .

Advantages: A nice close shave.
Disadvantages: Only the initial cost.

...a non slip finish. The company do make stands for these brushes, although they are not really needed. Once bought, these brushes will last a lifetime, as long as they are looked after of course. They also do matching razors of course. The use of shaving soap and brush, is a better shave, and better for the environment too, because there are no aerosol CFCs released into the atmosphere. I also recommend the use of some after shave treatment. This especially applies if you shave delicate areas!...
