Barbasol 1919 - Wet The Face Review

Last week's review felt good, and it's been a long time since I did one, so I went to my local pharmacy to see what I could pick off the shelves to do another review. I found Barbasol 1919. I had never used it before, but if I did, I can't remember.

What I didn't know at the time of purchase was that this shaving cream does not lather... at all, so if you're waiting to see that this video is not for you. What you will see is an alternative to a lather shave with more slickness and glide, you're going to know what to do with. It has that by the truckloads. So, no brush is needed since I have demonstrated that in this video. All that is needed is a small amount on your fingertips and just rub it into a wet beard, and you're good to go.

I have to say the post-shave feel was very nice, even after using the alum block on my face after the shave, I could still feel the slickness left behind.

Island Man - Wet The Face Review

By now, I don't need to explain who the Stirling Soap Co. is. If you're a wet shaver, you already know. I've seen this company grow from humble beginnings in his garage, expand twice, and then move the whole thing again into much larger facilities. It's an incredible story I would watch as a documentary on Netflix.

Allow me to express that Rod no longer requires external reviews for his soaps. Despite his established presence in the wet shaving industry, individuals still engage in reviews. I am writing to you today due to a request from one of my customers. I recently created a shaving soap holder for my brand, Wet the Face. The customer who purchased one was delighted with it but expressed a desire for a holder that would accommodate his collection of Stirling Soaps. Consequently, I approached Rod and inquired if he had any spare tubs available. Rod, being a considerate individual, generously provided me with one. Upon receiving the tub, I noticed that a sample shaving soap labeled “Island Man” had been placed inside. Naturally, I felt compelled to create a review of this soap. Additionally, I was able to design a soap holder specifically for Stirling Soap, which the customer thoroughly enjoyed.

Red Maple Leaves - New From Wet The Face

Wet The Face is happy to celebrate the changing season with Red Maple Leaves, a limited fall release that captures the quiet beauty of autumn in every shave. This earthen blend opens with the warm character of maple-wood, awn blossoms, laurel, and sweet clove. As the lather builds, rich base notes of balsam, patchouli, and romantic sandalwood emerge—bringing depth and comfort to the fragrance.

The result is an aroma both grounding and invigorating, reminiscent of a woodland hike where the air is crisp and the ground is carpeted with dry leaves. Red Maple Leaves is more than a shave—it’s the essence of fall, for your daily ritual.

• Why You’ll Love It:
• Limited seasonal release – available only this fall
• A perfect balance of warm spice, wood, and earthiness
• Creates a creamy, protective lather for a smooth shave
• Bring the spirit of autumn straight to your shave den

Shaving With The Perfect Cup

The creation of the perfect cup has been one of the most gratifying experiences in my product development journey. This accomplishment was achieved through numerous innovative concepts, including substituting real coffee for water, relying solely on coffee for its aroma and color, and incorporating coffee grounds into both the base and top layers of the soap. Initially, I was uncertain about the customer’s reaction to these changes. However, to my delight, they readily understood my intentions.

The selection of the appropriate coffee was paramount. I sought a local roaster with extensive coffee knowledge and expertise. By establishing a rapport with this roaster, I could provide detailed information about my process, and they could guide me in making informed decisions. After visiting several establishments, I ultimately chose South Down Coffee on Long Island, which now operates eight locations.

I also talk about something I saw, like "At The Drive-In," a documentary. Third season of Invasion on Apple TV,

Shaving With Dirty Girl Jane

Today I'm using Dirty Girls Jane Artillery Gunner Shaving Soap. Inspired by the fearless women who took on the challenging and dirty jobs of men during World War II, this shaving soap is just as tough and resilient as the brave ladies who inspired it.

Crafted with care, Dirty Girls Shaving Soap provides a lather that is rich, creamy, and incredibly smooth, making for an unparalleled shaving experience. Whether you're a seasoned shaving pro or a newcomer to the art of traditional wet shaving, this soap is guaranteed to please.

The Dirty Girls series pays tribute to the women who worked tirelessly to support the war effort and defend our freedom. They were just as proud to be American as the men they fought alongside, and their courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten. Wet The Face is proud to honor these brave women with a line of shaving products that embody their spirit and resilience.

A Nordic Skies Shave

Today, we use Nordic Skies, which is a dupe of Drakkar, and I think it's pretty close if you ask me. I loaded the brush from the tub this time and had absolutely no problems. The lather was thick and creamy, allowing me to get really close with my Nano razor. I had no irritation, and the slickness and glide were great, and the post-shave feel was just amazing.

I watched on Apple TV something from 2023 called "Drops of God." It’s adapted from the popular Japanese manga of the same name by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto and created for the screen by Quoc Dang Tran, with direction by Oded Ruskin. The series spans eight episodes and blends dialogue in French, Japanese, and English, reflecting its multinational production and rich cultural diversity.

White Lotus - New From Wet The Face

White Lotus — A Journey into Tranquility 

Wet The Face proudly presents White Lotus Shaving Soap, a fragrance inspired by elegance and tranquility. While its name nods to the popular TV series, that’s where the similarity ends — because this is an experience all its own.

From the very first lather, you’re welcomed by the refreshing calm of aloe vera and the bright, invigorating spark of crisp ginger. As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a serene harmony of delicate white tea, transporting you to a place where time slows and the noise of the world fades away.

The journey deepens with creamy cedarwood and warm vanilla, wrapping around you like a soft embrace. Beneath it all lies the gentle floral elegance of lily, a soothing base that lingers long after your shave is done.

This isn’t just a fragrance — it’s a ritual of grounding and peace. White Lotus must be experienced to be truly understood.
