Shaving Reviews
Any top shaving tips? Loads! Here are my essentials: Always shave with the direction of hair growth and rarely go against it unless absolutely necessary (to correct any mistakes for example). Exfoliate the skin gently beforehand and afterwards make sure you apply a dedicated aftershave lotion to sooth the skin and prevent dryness, redness and blemishes. Regular exfoliation of the neck will help to prevent ingrown hairs and gentle chemical exfoliation of existing ingrown hairs will help to unblock them.

Rituals Grooming / The Art of The Samurai
I think in 5 years, this is the first time Rituals has appeared on MANFACE. A Dutch brand, inspired by Japanese rituals and skincare – it’s a bit of an odd one. Their products sit in that ‘masstige’ market alongside The Body Shop and Yves Rocher et al. They’re still not massive in the UK,…

Johnny’s Chop Shop Barber Hair Care
I have been inundated over the last year with Barber Shop products, with every salon and barber-revival shop creating their own products – most of them are average at best. Johnny’s Chop Shop is different (and the reason I’m posting it) as the products not only speak to me (I’m never going to use a…

Panasonic ES-LV95-S The Smart Shave
I have to be honest, I had no idea Panasonic did razors until now. Or at least I did but they were just in the back corners of my mind. Despite over the years owning countless of their TV’s, music players and cameras, they’re not a company I’d ever associated as being a big player…

The all NEW Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 & Hydro 5 Sensitive: 125 Years of Innovation
You know how much I love the Wilkinson Hydro series with reviews here, here, here and here. I find it really hard to wet shave as the follicles on my face and neck are the same as on my hair, like a gunniea pig’s with hairs growing in every direction. Wilkinson Sword Hydro’s continue to be…

When it comes to electric shaving, I’ve made no bones about the fact that in the past few months, I’ve become a Braun electric convert. I have fallen in love with foil head razors but finally here’s one that gives a close shave, not only comparable to a rotary head, but to a wet shave!…

An Introduction to Murdock London
I have absolutely no idea why it’s taken me this long to write about Murdock London. I’ve always just assumed they’ve been here in the mass of posts, articles and shares as a sort of a staple ‘well-duh’ sort of brand. So anyway, here they are – fine grooming, made in England for the discerning…
