I love that this product line was
founded by a man on a mission to find the best shave he possibly could. I agree
with a lot of what Oscar de Vries has to say about so many products on the
shelves that claim this and they claim that but none of it is true and its just
a great marketing scam. I also believe there are way too many shaving products
out there that both men and women use without knowing what is actually in them
and how harmful some of the chemicals can actually be. Then there is the
actually packing a lot of products can in aerosol type cans, which aren’t only
dangerous to people but also the environment. This is where I love the fact
that Oscar has used non-flammable packaging that is actually made from a
revolutionary ‘airless’ container. Which means they are a great idea to take
travelling, as they are airplane safe.
Both my partner and I have never
used a shaving oil in our lives, but will now admit after using Oscars Natural
shaving oil it was the best shaves we have ever had…. Eek speaking like this
sounds like I shave facial hair or something, but no I tried this oil both on
my legs and then even the sensitive areas like under my arms and bikini line
without a hassle in the world. I actually really, really loved shaving my legs
with the oil. I wasn’t left looking all scaly and dry legged, instead I had
this beautiful glow of hydrated skin. I wont be shaving these legs with
anything else from now on. I also love with the women’s oil it comes in a
really easy to use spray bottle so there is no oily mess on your hands or anything,
and can easily be sprayed right onto the area that’s ready for shaving.
Now my partner loved the oil, but
he still loved shaving the beard with the gel. This gel isn’t like the
chemically filled ones you can find on the shelves. You actually have to work
the gel into a nice lather, which I think is a great way to work with product
in properly anyway. A lot of people out there just slap it on and then shave as
it instantly foams. But this is probably the worse this I can think of for
ingrown and red spots. You need to soften the hair and root to get a good
smooth shave.
He loved this gel so much, and
for very good reasons. This is the first time I have seen Matt have a shave
without a nick or scratch on his face, it was left so soft and smooth. So when
I saw these results, I had to give it a go for myself ( of course I don’t have
a beard to try.) But I shaved one of my legs, and the results were great, my
skin wasn’t itchy like it usually is when I use a shaving gel, and so far I
have had no ingrown hairs, which for me is the best.
I would recommend these products
to just about anybody I know who shaves.
