Thank you for your interest in our products. We have been
getting a lot of interest from the USA from people interested in where they can
get our products. Unfortunately we cannot seem to get any good shipping prices,
however I will try and get a shaving soap out to you.
Kind regards
Shane
My Reply - Thank You Shane. If you need me to help you
with shipping costs let me know.
That was June 5th and late August I had a package
arrive at my door from the UK. Inside was such a surprise. Not only did Shane
send me what I was asking for but his kindness also included the following.
Lime Shaving Soap, Lime Shaving Cream, Shaving Oil, and a Solid Bar Beard
Shampoo. What a great collection of shaving protects to test. Also in the box
was a card from Sarah Monsoon the PR & Marketing Manager for The Dandy
Gent. An additional thank you should be going out to Sarah as well.
The parcel was lined with a hay like padding although mine for
this review was a cardboard box the ones on the website are made of wood and
look great. Speaking of the website it’s great looking site not confusing and
easy to navigate I like the way they describe each item, to the point and a little
humor. I also noticed that they now ship worldwide so no reason not to order if
you live here in the U.S.
Day One Shaving Cream

Speaking of lather, the shaving cream did a real fine job of
producing some of the best I’ve had. It was very rich and creamy with a
slickness and glide that could rival the best of them. Since I used my fingers
to apply the cream I had a problem holding my razor. I had to stop the shave wash
and towel off my hands in order to gain a grip on my razor again. Now that’s
slick!
Day Two Shaving Soap
The shaving soap came in a nice tin with a screw on lid. The soap
was extremely hard. So I knew this had to be bloomed. The first time I tried lathering it came out thin. So I tired again adding more time to the bloom. I got
to the third try and 4mins was about the right amount of time to bloom for this
soap. I also changed my brush to one with more backbone. My thinking was that i would be able to load more with a brush like that. I had to work harder than most other soaps to
get this just right and even then it was thin for my taste but this is just my
opinion.

Regardless of some of the issues the shave went extremely well. The
shaving oil provided the slickness and glide that was needed to make the shave
complete. I would recommend using both the shaving soap and oil together.
So take a look at the video and let me know what you think.
