The idea of having your razor, replacement blades and other shaving products delivered when you need them is an attractive one - but the products have to be up to the task. A year ago I was asked to review such a service (based in mainland Europe) and was sent an inadequate razor and blades that couldn't manage my beard without much re-shaving. I refused to cover it on the blog until it had been improved.
So it's good to find a quite different service, based here in the UK, that has got it right from the start. Cornerstone provides a good quality products that work, when you need them, on subscription. Started in June of this year by young entrepreneur, Oliver Bridge, the range includes gels, balms and scrubs developed by dermatologists. The razor (personalised with your initials, GF for me) is an attractive aluminium one which is well-balanced and whose blades easily managed my tough stubble.
It's good to see that, while the blades are made in Germany, the razor and shaving products are designed and made here in the UK. The volcanic pre-shave scrub (which prepares the face for the shave), shave gel and post-shave balm have barely any scent. This provides a welcome neutral base to those of you who prefer to use your own choice of after-shave fragrance.
