Looking for a better shaving experience? Try browsing online instead of in your local store. While there are brands (we shan’t mention their names out loud) that claim to be the best in the biz, online you’ll find a few interesting brands that defy the giants, with their innovative mixing of fragrances and other ingredients that do wonders for your skin. They use lime, pepper, bergamot and more. In fact, it’s not just shaving, but a whole other world out there, of pre shave and post shave oils and rubs, body and face washes that keep you fresh and wonderfully fragrant. Add to that the fact that almost all of them use natural products and ingredients, this makes for more than just an experiment. What’s more is that these products take you back to a different era, since most shaving products, for instance, require you to use a brush and not just your fingers to lather up. Intrigued?
Ustraa
Ustraa by Happily Unmarried (happilyunmarried.com/ustraa) was one of the first brands to turn out good products for men. They have a great smoky shaving gel, mooch and beard oils, beard washes, waxes and a wonderful post shave balm that just soothes your skin. Their tagline “Not tested on animals, only on rascals” says it all, doesn’t it? They even have perfumes now. Their range of grooming products are quite large and they even have an old school ustraa, a single blade shaver on sale. Although, buying that will severely dent your budget for the month.
The Man Company
This is one great site that gives you almost everything you need when it comes to beautifully crafted ‘beauty’ products for men. When you visit themancompany.com you’ll be able to choose from tubes and more of gels, face washes, fragrances and body washes. What makes them interesting is their use of ingredients. The tea tree and mint shaving gel is one of the best out there and they even have a Moroccan argan oil face wash and a black pepper and bergamot body wash that just can’t but make you smile. No more plain old menthol shaving creams. This gentlemen is the real thing! What TMC offers that not many others do, is a box is small testers that you can buy and check out their range.
Shaving Station
Here’s another great site (shavingstation.com) for a blend of wonderful fragrances. If you’re a fan of all things Thai, imagine the strong yet zesty fragrance of kaffir lime on your face every day after a shave. Yes, it’s possible. They also have a nice woody vetiver pre shave oil that smartly moisturizes your skin and negates that post shave itch that we all get from time to time. Shaving Station does not have a massive collection of products unlike the previous two brands mentioned, but whatever they have does certainly pack a punch.
Beardo
No guesses to what you’ll find on beardo.in. The ‘Old Fashioned’ cedarwood, lime and clove combination or the ‘Classic’ vanilla, lime and nutmeg one certainly raises eyebrows. Not to worry, they are meant to do one thing and one thing only, give you a great shave and grooming experience. Actually, make that two things, they also leave a trail of nice citrus and woody aromas as you walk on. The ladies certainly love a man who smells good. Beardo can make that happen.
