eShave Silvertip Smoke Brush

Finally a New Year has begun! Thank goodness!! Hopefully this year will be finally a year when we can start reversing global warming, when financial markets around the World recover from last year’s drama, and when Paula Abdul gets a new job.

While we all wait for all these to happen, there is always something we can all wish for: self-improvement. How can you start? By getting a better shave.

If you have been reading our blog so far, we’ve covered the essentials about shaving creams and about razors. Now it is time to tell you more about shaving brushes. Hopefully someone gave you a badger hair brush during the holidays (or at least an êShave gift certificate to get one!!), but if you haven’t gotten one, it is now time for you to choose and treat you with your own.

A lot of people think that a using a brush is going to make them spend more time shaving, but if you use the right products and a good brush, you will end up shaving better and faster! The brush will give you a light exfoliation and raise your hair away from you face to allow closer shave.

There are different grades of badger hair. Among these kinds, there are:

1. Genuine Badger Hair: This kind of hair is in the lower tier of the badger hair pyramid. It is perfect for skeptics that want to try the product before they commit to a new shaving regime.
2. Fine Badger Hair: This is a good, standard quality brush. The hair is soft and elastic when it gets wet and provides the skin with a light exfoliation. It will remain in good condition between 3 to 5 years as long as you take care of it, which mainly means: hanging it upside down!
3. Finest Badger Hair: This kind of hair is even more elastic, and thanks to the fact that it is finer, the seal that holds the hair will contain more badger hair in it, which means you will get a better exfoliation because now you have more, finer hairs going through your pores as you apply the cream. It will keep its shape between seven to ten years.
4. Silvertip Badger Hair: Do you deserve a Rolls Royce?!?! If you think you do, then you must also deserve a Silvertip Brush too. It is the best of the best. When I used this for the first time, I truly thought “This must be what it feels to frolic around in heaven!” It is so soft you just want to keep on lathering up. These kinds of brush will last 15 to 20 years if you take care of it. It is truly awesome. And it ends up being the best value.

To use it, all you need to do is wet it with hot water, dab it directly in the shaving cream, and lather it up directly on your face by applying pressure with a circular motion. It’s that easy. You will be ready to get the best shave within seconds and afterwards you will be so smoothest, softest and most nourished skin you have had in a while. TRY IT!

Many of us have problems when it comes to shaving. Do you know why? Because we have been shaving the wrong way since were kids!! Lets face it, we think we only need some sort of shaving razor, and a lubricant to protect the skin. However, if you get dry skin, or if you cut yourself too much, or if you get bumps or razor burn, there is a LOT to learn because believe it or not, that is not “normal”. Here are a few basic points to start getting more in touch with your “inner-barber”.

ABOUT RAZORS

The first thing you need is a good razor. Disposable razors are the worst because the blade tends to get dull almost immediately. If you use disposable razors, make sure you throw them away after each use (hence the name “disposable”).

Then there are the razors with disposable heads (e.g. Gillette Mach 3, Schick Quattro, or Gillette Fusion). The quality and sharpness of these blades is better than any of the disposable razors. If I was you, I would get one of these. It is important that you choose the one that makes you feel more comfortable when shaving and that has the right amount of blades for your type of skin and kind of facial hair.

Finally, for those of you that are knowledgeable enough and that are looking for a little thrill, there are also safety and straight edge razors. These can be a little bit more tricky and dangerous because well… you can cut yourself easier. So if you get one of these just make sure you get proper training.

ABOUT SHAVING CREAMS

After having chosen the proper razor, you need the right product to shave. This is when we all start running into trouble. Most people tend to use shaving creams and shaving gels that come in a can. That is the worst! Most of those shaving products have alcohol, which is one of the ingredients that tend to cause more problems. It dries your skin up and it closes and clogs the pores. To avoid these problems, I recommend you switch to a more gentle, alcohol free, shaving cream.

Most creams in the market are made as a paste. They are a step ahead of “the stuff in the can” but I am still not a fan of them. I find them too thick for the razors, so they clog them, and you need to shave with more pressure, therefore you still getting razor burn and irritation.

What I suggest is that you switch to a water activated, lathering shaving cream. Most lathering shaving creams require using a badger hair brush. The reason to use this kind of brush is that badger hair is the only hair that absorbs water and still keeps its shape and elasticity when wet. If you start using a badger hair brush, your skin and general feeling about shaving will change drastically.

The shaving brush will exfoliate and make your hair come out straight out from the pore so that you get a better, closer shave. Also, you will activate the cream with warm water, so when lathering, your pores will remain open. The consistency of the lather will be light enough so that it does not clog neither your razor nor your pores, but it will also be thick enough so that it gives you enough moisture and protection.

So now that I’ve told you this… use it to your advantage, get the right products and start experimenting in this journey to get the best shave ever!!! You will LOVE IT! And then you will wonder why no one told you all this before.

To Shave, or Not to Shave – That is the Question.

For hundreds, or even thousands of years, men all over the world have complained about the fact that they HAVE to shave. Shaving is a chore – a painful one. All of us, at some point have whined about getting razor bumps, dry skin, or irritation due to shaving. I personally used to complain about my razor burn every single morning to the man in the mirror. It was then when I started searching for the techniques, products and rituals that would make me, and my skin, feel great every day.

The amount of shaving and grooming products out there is vast. It is very important to learn which ones are the best for you depending on your kind of beard and skin. In my case, I have coarse hair, and a combination of sensitive with oily skin— a real nightmare. I use to have red, flaky skin, and that made me feel self-conscious all day and affect my performance at work, with my relationships and with all aspects of my life in general. And believe it or not, all these problems were in part caused by an insignificant, evil, little alcohol-based shaving cream in a can that was fighting to destroy my skin!

Now, I feel great, and I can even dare to give advise to all of you! Why? Because I think that it is time that we all come together, and say: “I HAD A PERFECT SHAVE THIS MORNING. AND I LIKE IT! – WORLD: I FEEL GREAT TODAY”. That is my goal: To help you all feel great every morning about yourselves. And we will start this journey with the most simple, common task – Shaving.
