A Word:
It's been a hell of a week I'm currently experiencing sciatica and it's truly unbearable I could not walk the first three days but now I can do about 5 steps and have to stop due to the pain. Seeing a specialist this Monday but I needed to do a video I have never missed one since 2015 so here is this week's coming to you from a chair.
Introducing our latest holiday delight for the discerning individual – Santa's Custom Blend Shaving Soap and After Shave. This unique offering takes a departure from the traditional and ushers in a more sophisticated and adult essence for your holiday grooming routine.
Introducing Santa's Helper Shaving Soap and Aftershave, a holiday-inspired duo from Wet The Face that embodies the crisp, invigorating scent of fresh-cut pine. This fragrance is a tribute to the rugged outdoors, where pine trees stand tall and strong, exuding a scent that’s unmistakably masculine, clean, and fresh. It’s not for the faint of heart—this is a scent for true pine enthusiasts.
Infused with a refreshing hint of menthol, each shave delivers a brisk, cooling sensation that awakens your skin and adds an extra layer of holiday cheer. The menthol’s icy touch pairs perfectly with the rich, evergreen aroma, making each user feel like stepping into a winter forest with snow underfoot.
C.O. Bigelow is a true classic in the world of shaving creams. Originally formulated by Proraso, an Italian brand with a long-standing tradition in shaving products, this cream combines old-world charm with modern efficiency. It's known for delivering a refreshing, invigorating experience, thanks to the cooling effect of eucalyptus oil and menthol. From the moment you open the tube, the brisk, herbal scent fills the air, creating a pre-shave ritual that feels both timeless and rejuvenating.
For those who've used it over the years, C.O. Bigelow has a unique way of bringing back memories of past shaves while still feeling fresh and current with each use. The texture is rich and creamy, perfect for building a lather that cushions the skin and softens stubble effectively. Even in the modern era of countless shaving products, this cream remains a staple due to its reliable performance and straightforward approach.
"Blood Orange" from Wet The Face was not originally intended to be a Halloween-exclusive shaving soap, but it has quickly become a favorite for this time of year. The scent, vibrant and zesty with a subtle sweetness, captures the essence of fresh blood oranges. It's invigorating and refreshing, making it perfect for any season, but there's something about it that makes it particularly fun for Halloween.
Maybe it's the deep, rich scent, the bold, citrusy aroma that makes it feel right at home during October festivities. The scent is not spooky, but its intensity adds a dynamic element to your shave that complements the excitement of the season. As Halloween approaches, Blood Orange adds an unexpected twist to your shaving routine—an invigorating jolt that feels fresh but still fits the vibe of fall.
Every time I use this soap, I’m reminded of how much I truly enjoy it. I’m talking about Soapy Bathman’s Refreshing Mint. For me, this is an amazing soap that, unfortunately, is no longer in production. My tub will last me a long time, but I wish everyone could experience this remarkable shaving soap. The scent is exactly what it promises: refreshing. Combined with the cool touch of menthol, there’s simply nothing better to awaken your senses during a shave.
Since the tub holds a generous puck of soap, I prefer to bloom it by adding a bit of warm water, which softens the surface and makes loading the brush effortless. I then proceeded to face lather, which worked perfectly. The soap immediately produces a thick, creamy lather with excellent slickness and glide. As I applied it, I felt it spread evenly into my beard, laying down a smooth barrier that allowed my razor to perform flawlessly. But what really stood out was the post-shave feel—it was terrific. The invigorating scent of mint paired with the cooling menthol left my skin feeling refreshed and revitalized.
A week or so ago, I received an email asking if I wanted to review the Zomchi Safety Razor. I checked out the website and thought it would be a good fit for the channel, so I agreed. The company asked for an honest review, and that’s exactly what I’ve done.
The package arrived in a simple mailer, and the box for the razor was attractive. The back of the box included instructions and a little information about the company. Although it came with blades branded with the Zomchi logo, I decided to use Personna Blades I had from a previous review of a disposable Gillette razor years ago.
So far, the review feedback for Dark Matter has been positive. What turned out to be something I ruined by not being able to smell the scent turned out to be the right thing for the project. The dark color does add a nice touch to the soap as well. For the next run, I want to make it slightly darker to highlight the stars in the soap which can only be seen that way.
This soap takes longer to make than the others due to the amount of time it takes to add the scent over and over again you can't rush that sort of thing.
I think it's clear that we are going to keep Dark Matter in our Wet The Face Line up most likely we will see a new batch in January sometime.
In this video, I also touch on watching a movie from 1998 called Meet Joe Black
