The Weekly Grooming Dispatch
Top posts/videos from this week
It's been a busy 2 weeks, so my apologies for no dispatch newsletter last week.
In this grooming dispatch, I have something for:
Guys That Head Shave (video and web reviews)
Traditional Wet Shaving Gents
Bearded Bro's
While I have still been busy on the head-shaving front I managed to get stuck into some traditional wet shaving products (i.e, TOBS pre-shave oil, TOBS shaving cream, shaving bowl, and a Simpson shaving brush).
I have to admit I do enjoy when I get some time using the traditional wet shaving stuff as it is a kind of therapy. I got the Muhle R41 out a few times for an enjoyable revisit.
It's been about videos and website reviews for you guys.
Robert has been somewhat busy with the beard stuff.
Recent Videos
If you dont know, I now shoot video reviews on YouTube (you can see the channel here). Sorry, if I alwreaSorry if I already told you.dy told you.
I got the Brio Raze Haed Shaver video live. This was a letdown, and I can't believe guys rate this shaver. They are more than likely doing it on promotional offers, I guess.
I got the video out there I have wanted to do since I got the channel going on the head shavers for now. I cover the best ones I have used. Only 5 make it to the roundup of choice from around 14 I have tested and used.
The Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Pre-Shave Oil gave me a lot of scent and improved comfort while reducing irritation. There was little to dislike about this pre-shave, and if you are a fan of Sandalwood–you are already onto a winner!
The Taylor of Old Bond Street Oud Shaving Cream in a tub–I picked up–was just as good at lubricating and as latherable as other TOBS creams I have used. It’s also nicely comforting after the shave. The Oud scent was a terrific, fresh kind of fruity and earthy scent delight
The Muhle Porcelain Shaving Bowl is an elegant-looking piece of lathering kit that features plenty of lathering space and an inner ridge to help build the lather. One concern is that it has no grip, and the potential to drop it becomes apparent.
New Beard and Bald Stuff
We have been a bit quite on the beard stuff whiel Robert has been testing a few products. More will be coming very soon, but we still have a trimmer reviewed.
I've also been trying a new moisturizer taht mattes this balding bonce of mine. That's below!
The Wahl Stainless Steel Lihtium-Ion Beard Trimmer is an excellent example of how small ergonomic tweaks can make a trimmer feel great to use. Unfortunately, it is let down by its lack of a place to grip it and its lack of cutting power.
The Headblade HeadLube Matte Moisturizing Lotion only requires a small amount to apply and soon dries up, leaving a matte effect that lasts a few hours or more. It also moisturizes enough and leaves a cooling effect.
