Alien Shave The Barber - Wet The Face Review

Today we have something new from Alien Shave: it's called "The Barber." A cherry-scented Talow-based shaving soap. The base is called Genuine Formula 51t - Grass Fed Beef Tallow, Stearic Acid, Distilled Water, Shea Butter, Horsetail Butter, Potassium Hydroxide, Glycerin, Coconut Acid, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide. They also have a 51G, which is Drenched in Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Goat Milk, and a 51ct Soft Cream Top Shaving Soap.

This comes in a very wide tub, which you can use for loading your brush with or, like me, lather it in a bowl. All soaps are different, and this soap makes an amazing velvet lather, not a crazy fluffy lather, but one that is drenched in creamy goodness. This is evident once you start applying it to your face. It's a great experience.

Once I started the shave, you could tell how the soap, with its slickness and glide, was protecting my face, allowing my razor to go over trouble spots without the fear of irritation. The best part was the post-shave feel, which was extremely nice.

All in all, I had a wonderful shave with The Barber, and if you give it a try, I know you will too.

Shaving With White Lotus


Today I'm using White Lotus. It was my take on White Tea, one that came out so good, I decided to make a bar soap. To this day, only one person has it. It was sent out with no label. The reason for this is that the printer I am waiting for never arrived as promised. As soon as it does, the labels will be printed and then available to the public on the website.

White Lotus Shaving Soap is 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.

Shaving with Ingram


I have a few favorite shaving creams, and one of them I'm using today is called Ingram. Back in 2017, I was given a box containing shaving products from my friend in the UK. This is another staple of the UK; the other shaving cream is Palmolive. I’ve seen it advertised on websites there for as low as $2.00. If you look for this now, you'll find prices wildly vary up to 40 dollars and beyond. Looks are deceiving with Ingram packaging because this understated-looking shaving cream is one of the best I’ve used.

I placed a fair amount in my brush, soaked the brush under water, and wet my face. Within seconds, I created an amazing amount, which provided great coverage and got right into the beard. The slickness and glide from the lather allowed me to have an irritation-free shave. The post-shave feel was one you need to experience due to its menthol content, just the right amount.

I highly recommend this Ingram if you have not tried it before or are seeking a novel product to explore. If you have a menthol preference, as I do, you will not be disappointed.

I'm sorry I forgot to include the graphic of the Netflix show I'm watching called ABSENTIA
