The Personal Barber - monthly traditional shaving goodies

Monday, 1 June 2015

I've received another monthly box from The Personal Barber containing two packs of single blades (from Egypt and Russia), two shaving soaps, shaving oil and some wipes.


The pack arrived after five days without a shave, as I had been considering growing a beard. The idea came to nothing and I was wondering how easy it would be to shave off a five-day stubble. I needn't have worried. After a good soak in hot water, I used the shaving oil from Good Day Organics to soften and lubricate the beard. I then lathered on the Mint and Tea Tree shaving soap. A Derby Extra blade (which arrived in my first box from The Personal Barber) easily sliced through the hairs with neither hesitation, nor a pull, nor a nick. If I hadn't been a perfectionist, I could have got away with a single pass of the razor. 

These are impressive products which add to the pleasures of a traditional wet shave: and it's fun to try out so many different blades, oils, soaps and unguents. The Personal Barber. And see my previous post for a discount code.
