PipeSmoke Shave Request!

This week we received a request from one of our subscribers to use my shaving soaps called Pipe Smoke. I had four original products I started with and this is one of them and it's still a great seller today in fact if you are looking to purchase one I only have 3 left in stock. 

The scent notes include herbaceous tobacco leaf followed by a touch of sweet honey and finishing with a smoky, leathery cedarwood, fresh cherry wood, and vanilla bean. I have been told and I happen to agree that Cherry and vanilla are most predominant. Not to brag but I have been told my soaps are lather monsters and again I agree with that assessment. Not only that but the slickness and glide are also great indeed.

Pure - Gillette Shaving Cream


 Our shave today is nothing but Pure and I mean that because I’m using the Pure Gillette shaving cream. One of the best shaving creams on the market. I put this right up there with Deep from Nivea. These two products are my favorites Pure has the advantage of being the slickest with a creamier lather.

If your looking for something that is not only good for your body but also for the environment then look no further PURE by Gillette is 0% alcohol, dyes, parabens, and sulfates. The PURE shave cream is infused with aloe and helps your razor glide smoothly over your skin. it protects against irritation on sensitive skin during the shave and here is the best part it has this lightly cooling sensation (menthol) to soothe. When you experience the post-shave feel of PURE it will call you back each time you need to shave it's that good.

Into The DEEP with Nivea Men Shaving Gel

Company: Nivea Men 
Product: Deep
Website: Google Search for the best price

Today we go back to what I consider one of the best performing, over-the-counter shaving gels on the market. It's called DEEP from Nivea For Men and since writing about this back in 2019 my opinion has not changed so here is the original article.


I found myself in Rite Aide picking up some medication for my cold and I thought while I’m here why not look around for anything new. They're on the shelf was that new something. A product from Nivea Men called Deep a shaving gel with charcoal. Now I’m not one to sing the praises of charcoal but this I could not pass up it has one of the best scents I've ever come across for a shaving gel.  Ok, I know what you're thinking how can this be that good it comes from a can? well, let me put all those doubts away because this is going to blow your mind.


Let's start off with the packaging, for me, I really dig the design I like the black look of the packaging and how the gel is dispensed from the top under pressure and not a pump.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

It’s Halloween time again and this year we have something that fits the mood, our Blood Orange which was released a few months back. I never did make a true Halloween shaving soap for this holiday but this one comes pretty close if you ask me. 


This is a true-to-life Blood Orange created with natural essential oils - This scent has a fresh citrus aroma, a full-bodied fragrance with top notes of Bergamot, Grapefruit. Middle Notes of Orange, with undertones of Green orange tree leaves. For those of you wondering what the base note was in our guess the base note game well, it’s Cedar.

Shaving & Talking #8 Featuring Gillette Heritage DE - Taylor of Old Bond Street

Today's shaving and talking features two items the first Gillette Heritage–Inspired Double Edge Safety Razor. This premium 3-piece razor set is inspired by the original 1929 Gillette double edge razor. If you're into the Wet Shaving hobby then this is a must-have. 


It comes in a handsome brown case with rich brown interior lining and 5 Gillette Platinum double-edge safety razor blades. I prefer the Personna Blue blades myself but the included blades should work just fine. Perfect for the hobbyist or someone thinking about switching to wet shaving.

SOTD - Featuring Lagom from Wet the Face

 This week we are shaving with Lagom one of our shaving soaps from wet the face and talking about things that are happening with a Long island native woman Gabrielle Petito.

She is a 22-year-old American woman from Blue Point Suffolk County, New York, who was reported missing on September 11, 2021, while traveling across the United States with her fiancé. Her family lost contact with her in late August when she was in or near Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. Sadly as of this writing, they think they have found her and the cause of death has not been determined at this time.

Autumn - Wet The Face Seasonal Release

Company: Wet The Face
Product: Autumn


Well it’s that time of year again and soon all the colors of fall will be upon us and what an amazing display of mother nature at its best. The start of fall for us also means our fall release called Autumn. It's one of my favorite and judging from the sneak peek I provided on FB Wednesday it appears it could be one of yours as well.


We took what makes this time of year special and brought into our shaving soap and aftershave splash and we feel once you open them and smell that autumn goodness you’ll instantly be transformed back in time when playing outside with your friends and family among the colorful backdrop of trees was the best life had to offer.
