Blue Beards Of The World Unite!
Millions of men all over the world share a common problem - that tough stubble that seems to defy the attentions of the every shaving cream or foam and blunts the edge of the keenest razor - "Blue Beard".
Misery? Do you endure the morning misery of tackling your "Blue Beard" with inadequate products designed for the bum fluff brigade? Do you get to the point where your face is on fire after an abortive attempt to produce a result that will last beyond afternoon tea? Are you fed up to the back teeth with 5 O’clock shadow appearing before lunch?
It's your own fault! Are you using a tin of fluffy super market foam or perhaps some super expensive, designer label concoction more akin to face cream than a shaving preparation for real men? If so you should know better - these guys are only interested in flogging you girly products at massive margins - you need a shaving solution designed for Blue Beards by fellow sufferers!

DECELERINE™ - Reducing beard growth and providing a recovering effect on the skin
Face friendly Decelerine™ contains a mixture of active ingredients that delay hair growth, reducing the frequency of shaving and depilation and at the same time providing a recovering effect on the skin.
How DECELERINE™ works
The normal hair cycle is divided into four periods:
ANAGEN - Active Growth Phase (2-6 years)
CATAGEN - a short transition period with regression (2-3 weeks)
TELOGEN - a resting phase (2-3 weeks)
EXOGEN - a shedding stage
Then the new hair starts to grow and the follicle is back in Anagen. The length of hair is primarily a function of the relative durations of Anagen and Telogen. Whether hairs are in one of these phases at the time of hair removal is important because only Anagen hairs are particularly sensitive to the effects of DECELERINE™. DECELERINE™ targets it's action in hair follicle cells and weakens new hair formation. It has proved to be effective in inhibiting hair growth, decreasing length and density of unwanted hair and also providing a soothing, moisturising and anti-inflammatory effect.
In tests DECELERINE™ showed a 30% decrease in hair length as well as a 16% reduction in hair density after 60 days.
As well as slowing down beard regrowth, DECELERINE™ relieves and soothes the effects of shaving (especially skin prone to irritation and dryness) by providing moisturisation and protection to facilitate it's regeneration.

I'd describe the consistency of the product as creamy rather than a lather, this adds to the smooth glide I get when using my custom Princess Merkur razor. Also, when shaving upwards from neck to chin there is no drag either. My skin not only feels and smells clean and fresh to me but my partner also comments on how close the shave is and how good it feels on her skin - definitely a bonus!
Virgil Waters, Manscape.com
The cream spreads like a dream, it feels great on the skin and it gave me the smoothest shave yet and that was with an unfortunately blunt razor. Afterwards my skin felt amazing. There is something about the brush and the cream together.
Marko, Msalonen.com
The packaging is cool, the lather smells great, and it really did give me one of the best shaves I've had in a long time.
Brandon, I'd Rather Be Fishing
I've found that The Bluebeards Revenge no longer makes shaving such a chore! The cream smells lovely, a bit manly but not too overpowering. Producing a gorgeous creamy lather on the skin, it feels great and I find it leaves my legs and underarms super soft and smooth, with no sign of irritation or razor nicks and cuts. I have noticed a difference in shaving frequency, I can certainly go a day or two longer than I could previously and my legs feel smoother for longer.
Kim, Dottie K
A good shave cream bonds with both the skin and the hair. Bluebeards Shave Cream creates a great lather before it even reaches the face so no chance of it drying you out. The formula can be used with or without a shave brush so convenience is more than taken care of. On application, the cream leaves a lubricated surface on the growth and the skin beneath it, making your shave a much more pleasurable experience. It is often said that the performance of a shave cream can be judged by the residue it leaves behind post shave. Bluebeards leaves the skin soft, supple, free of hair and free of rashes, so I'm sure any shaving aficionado would agree when I say that Bluebeards is a great addition to the bathroom cabinet.
Steve O'Neil, Sartorial Male
The product lathers really well, and matches any other shaving product I've tried for comfort. I used the 'Daubloon' Bristled Shaving Brush to apply, but it you can use it without - it's still just as effective. I've also noticed the declerine really starting get to grips with tough stubble. Don't get me wrong I don't resemble Desperate Dan, but tough stubble particularly on the neck has been a real problem for me. Overall The Bluebeards Revenge Shaving Cream is an excellent product that I fully recommend you try for yourself - if you're man enough that is!
Duncan Copeland, Pour Homme
The Bluebeards Revenge is the shaving cream that took 2010 by storm. The Bluebeards Revenge claims and supports superior shaving and beard reduction with consistent use!
Aaron Wolfenbarger, MaleStandard.com
I have sensitive skin, including my legs and my eczema can flare up for no reason so I've had problems with irritation from shaving and not liking the shaving gels/foams I've used. Since using this shave cream I haven't had a single bit of irritation at all and this is really down to the skin-friendly and paraben-free formula they use.
Katy, RottenOtter.com
The cream itself is rather amazing. Smooth and creamy, and leaving you with super smooth legs, and no hint of post-shaving dryness. Highly recommended, most of all because it's paraben-free and won't leave you smelling like a fruit salad.
Louise, Get Lippie
Spreading the cream on my face, I was impressed. It does have an aroma, but it's not massively overpowering. It's slightly flowery, but not hugely distinctive - quite classic, in fact. The cream slides well over the face, and lathers up over overnight stubble growth very nicely, clumping it up in preparation for the application of a razor. It comes off well, generally without requiring a second stroke.
Matt, Get Lippie
The Bluebeards Revenge produces a lovely creamy lather that makes shaving more comfortable. It has a not unpleasant scent too, very much like other traditional shaving creams. I've been using it for a few weeks now. I do tend to be a little erratic in my shaving (should I be admitting this?) however; I have noticed a slowing of re-growth. I shaved my legs yesterday and they still feel smooth today. I have rather enjoyed using a cream for shaving.
Jane, ModestyBrown.com
I've taken to using The Bluebeards Revenge, which is allegedly scientifically formulated to reduce stubble growth for those of us with loads of five o'clock shadow. I'm no scientist but I know it stays foamy and doesn't dry up so is comfortable to use.
Guy Clapperton
When I opened the box, the girl in me loved the packaging. Opening the tub, I was met by an amazing smell I honestly never expected a shaving cream to smell so good. The cream itself has a shine to it and a soft, smooth texture. I battled through my dire shaving skills (practise makes perfect, I suppose!) and was left with silky smooth underarms and legs. The same kind of smoothness I got from waxing. What I liked about the shaving cream is that it wasn't as messy as traditional shaving gel, you could lather up as much or as little cream on the areas you want to shave depending on preference and you were left with a nice smell on your body. Now for the main part, it's been a month since I started using it and I've since shaved twice, ditching waxing for this time period and I'm liking the results. I have noticed a difference in hair growth and that is only from using it twice. I'm noticing bigger results in my underarm than on my legs, as normally my legs take longer for hair to start growing on them again, whereas my underarms start sprouting again after a few days.
Michelle, Ananyah.com
Firstly it looks impressive in it's deep azure box with the striking logo. The top is tactile and the pot is solid but made of a plastic which is recyclable and also won't shatter if you drop it on the floor. When you then open up the pot, the cream itself is pearlised. Pearlised pirate shaving cream dagnammit! I couldn't want more - except there is more - the creme contains no parabens or other chemical nasties, it glides on and a little goes a very long way, and it contains an ingredient which slows down the growth of hair over time. Win win win wiiiiin!!
Belle Lulu, Lulu's Lala Life
After dumping the brush carefully into the cream (which does smell lovely), I managed to lather up with no problem. So much easier than using that horrible gel shaving foam which tends to go everywhere. I then borrowed stole my husband's razor and shaving was no problem - I even managed not to nick myself! The razor glided over the cream and even though the smell is on the manly side I think I can cope with it. I've been using this now for the last couple of months and does it work - well the hair growth is getting less so to you all men and women out there. Why not try it too!
Ffion, Bare Naked Mummy
I'm hooked! My blade was quite blunt but that didn't stop the stubble sliding off my face with this smooth, subtle smelling cream. Constant use also reduces hair growth so if you've got stubble like Desperate Dan then this really is the stuff for you and it should last you about 3 months too. Quality!
Damian, GroomedGeezer.co.uk
The product smells absolutely divine. It's so clean and manly; I could sniff it all day. Get your fella to use this and not only will he appreciate the ease of the shave but I'm sure he'll appreciate all the neck nuzzles that you won't be able to resist giving him. It smells so good. Just a splash of hot water is all this needs to create the most luscious lather.
Leanne, DoNotRefreeze.com:
The Bluebeards Revenge experience has actually opened my eyes to what I have been missing all these years, and in these hectic times my morning shave has now become a time to savour, take it easy, relax and pamper myself. I now suffer from a helluva lot less irritation and the in-growing hair problems appear to be a thing of the past, all thanks to taking on The Bluebeards Revenge challenge. I would thoroughly recommend anybody to at least try out The Bluebeards Revenge, and if you have never used a shaving brush I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Stuart Cowling, DapperDude.co.uk
It lathers incredibly well and allows a super-smooth shave with the blade gliding easily across the face. It contains an ingredient called Decelerine which slows bristle growth, I've been using this cream for 30 days now and my hair growth is already slowed so I can now shave just every other day sporting a bit of a shadow on day two. The Bluebeards Revenge is a great investment; you get a fab shaving cream in a tub that will last for months.
Michael Bleasdale, The Chap Blog
The cream created a very slick surface on my skin and I experienced no razor drag at all. The shave was incredibly close and I got an excellent shave with just one pass of the razor - not something that happens all that often with other shave creams I've tried. The product left my skin smooth and moisturized to the point I didn't really feel the need to use a separate moisturizer afterward. I also got an excellent, irritation free shave using The Bluebeards Revenge. The performance was on par with some of the best shave creams I've tried - in fact, it now tops that list.
Dave Alexander, About.com
The Bluebeards Revenge helps to give a really smooth, non-irritating, luxurious shave with no nicks or cuts and my pins stay smoother for much longer compared to when I've used any other product, especially after continued use!
May, May Loves Makeup
Guys, Zankyou's office is looking very smooth this week after a few days on The Bluebeards Revenge. We're definitely giving it a thumbs up for pre-wedding day shaving, and the cream's great for long lasting use as it contains Decelerine, which slows down hair growth.

Helen Jones, Zankyou.com
This is really good stuff though. With the shaving brush, this lathers up a treat and smells manly and barbershop-like.
Paul Handley, Iconic Gifts
The cream at first looked as though it would be gunky but I was surprised to find that it was quite thick and rich. This meant that only a small amount was necessary to produce a good lather. I enjoyed using this product. also love the fact that this product is concentrated. It means less waste which is good for the environment and good for your wallet. It left both mine and my husbands skin velvety soft and we did notice slower hair growth. I also love the packaging. Who doesn't love pirates?
Danielle La Valle, Glowing Doll
This luxurious shaving cream is more than just a miracle secret formula, and is a signature scent chosen by shaving enthusiasts, based on a fresh and classic English barbershop scent with a modern twist. The aroma and sumptuous thick lather makes shaving a genuine pleasure.
Mens Style Power
Whilst many shaving foams claim to create a smooth, long-lasting, irresistible finish and delay the need for a shave, few actually delay hair growth, incorporate a mouth-watering aroma and provide a luxury shaving experience. Recognizing an opening in the market for a luxury shaving foam that prevents the 'bluebeard' effect, after years of studying and testing, involving some of the most world-renowned experts in the field of shaving creams, a luxury shaving foam has been created that provides the 'ultimate shaving experience' for 'real men', known as The Bluebeards Revenge.
Faconnable
The Bluebeards Revenge officially makes the thickest and best shaving cream I have ever used. And in my time I have been through every brand known to man, beast, chin or vajaja. The Bluebeards Revenge is an honest to goodness quality product. It isn't meant to be cheap, but it is still affordable. To sum up, this is quite a find, and a product I wholeheartedly endorse.
Nick Gilmartin, Blogger
It smells divine, so if you want to turn your man into an Essex lad then look no further.
Fashion Capital
I absolutely love this shaving cream. Although a bit dubious at first due to it being a men’s product, I have found in just two weeks that my legs are already smoother and the shaving process has been overall a lot more effective!
Nikki Boyd, Insight Magazine
If I'm 100 per cent honest, I was incredibly sceptical. I hate shaving my legs and something that could reduce the amount of re-growth really did seem too good to be true. However, I was prepared to give it a go, and I'm honestly glad I did. From the first shave my legs were smoother than they had been in a long time, and re-growth seemed to be about 50 per cent slower than before. I've used it several times since then and I remain impressed! I can really see why so many ladies are jumping on to this product.
Laura Budd, A Daisy Chain Dream
The Bluebeards Revenge is possibly the world's finest shaving solution, and launched after years of testing.
The Life Of Luxury
The cream itself is thick, pearl-scent and rich and is easy to work into thick stubble. The packaging suggests that, for best results, it be applied with a shaving brush. I've never owned a shaving brush - I share a bathroom with an eminent beauty blogger, I think myself lucky to still have space for a toothbrush - so I applied it by hand. Admittedly, I've no experience of brushing to compare it with but I felt that massaging it in by hand was perfectly satisfactory. The cream has a more 'muscular' scent than what I've become used to but I've grown rather fond of it. The richness of the cream made for a very comfortable shave and I've had no problems with it in the three weeks or so that I've been using it. Clearly, that isn't enough time to judge the 'reduction in beard growth' claim but it has been long enough to persuade me to switch brands from Kiehl's.
London Makeup Girl
I can't speak to the product's claim to reducing hair growth because I haven't used it for very long; however, the product smells nice, works exceptionally well, and looks cool, too. The thick and rich lather is perfect for both double-edge and straight razor shaving. The Bluebeards Revenge is without a doubt one of the best shaving creams I have ever used.
Mike Sandoval, Shaving101.com
Bluebeards is hands-down one of the best shave creams I've used and gets major points for its texture, glide and bonus points for its clean, attractive scent - and packaging is tongue-in-cheek humor at its best. But don't let the packaging fool you. Bluebeards is a serious high-quality, paraben free 'tough on stubble' shave cream that uses a new ingredient called Decelerine.
Jim O'Connell, Glam Man Grooming
The consistency of the cream is just about perfect, solid enough to hold up while being scooped but also soft enough to be scoopable and turned into a lather rapidly. The scent was very classic and not overbearing at all.On the whole the cream's performance was at or above any other cream I've favoured, and maybe even rivals some soaps in terms of protection. After a good 3 pass shave, I pulled a fourth just to see how well the cream could handle being pushed to that limit of protection and lather stability, and came away absolutely satisfied. In terms of quality, performance, and overall satisfaction, this cream rates as highly as any I've used from any of the 'big houses'.
Jeremy Mahler, Punk Rock Shaving
This cream made lather like you wouldn't believe. It reminded me of those snake fireworks, you know the kind where you start with a little lump and the snake just keeps growing and growing? I had to offload excess lather into the mug while I was mixing on my face. The lather is thick. This isn't foam. It's a creamy, cushiony, dense lather that lasts a long time. I would recommend this to straight (cutthroat) razor guys, who are always looking for good cushion. For shaving, I mean. The Bluebeard's Revenge is a dense, thick shaving cream that produces one of the best lathers I've ever shaved with. Don't object to the price, because it doesn't take much product to get the lather blooming.
Harold Charvat, WetShavers.com
If you suffer from tough stubble, this shaving cream will reduce its growth over a period of time, meaning less aggro for your skin!
Nuts Magazine
The first thing we noticed when we received our pot is the packaging - this is going to look impressive on your bathroom shelf. A retro style pot with a silver lid, then a vivid blue label with skull and cross bone graphics - visitors just aren't going to be able to help screwing off that lid to have a look and a sniff. Now that's the second thing, the smell. This stuff smells really, really good, clean and sexy - you may have to put up with some neck nuzzling I'm afraid. Next - the feel - it's rich, it's smooth, and it's creamy. A small amount in the palm of the hand lathered up really well and went on smoothly with great coverage. Finally - the shave. Yes a great, smooth shave.
The Fashion Guide
The Bluebeards Revenge™ vegetarian and cruelty-free shaving cream creates an amazing lather that is luxe and creamy and doesn't leave you feeling like you've been dowsed by a fire extinguisher. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm appreciative of the moisturizers and various other emollients designed to reduce irritation. The product was gentle enough that it made my post-shave routine of applying a light moisturizer almost superfluous.
Olivia Ravela, My Beauty Bunny
Jenny Hayden put both The Bluebeards Revenge™ and King of Shaves' Woman Smooth and Sensitive Shaving Gel to the test. She said: "The Bluebeards Revenge™ definitely gave a better result on the underarm and bikini area than the female-marketed product; the difference was easy to see as well as feel. When it came to the legs I think the two were pretty much the same and both legs felt nice and smooth without feeling dry. Overall, I have to say I preferred the men's product. It's not the first time I've used men's shaving products either as they are designed to do the same job. When it comes down to it, pretty pink packaging is just there to catch the eye of a girly girl; it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the best product for you. Experimenting is the only way to know for sure.
Jenny Hayden, The Style PA & The Style PA For Men
Isn't it cool that products like 'shaving cream' are developing and specializing to niche clientele? I must say it is the most awesome packaging I've ever seen for shaving cream. I mean we are talking a skull and cross bones here my friends. When applying the shaving cream I noticed a subtle soapy smell that made me feel like I was cleaning my face as well. It was easy to apply and the shaves I experienced were smooth and clean.
Bullz-Eye.com & Barbershopblog.com
I was pretty excited when I got The Bluebeard's Revenge in the mail this week. The first thing I noticed was the excellent packaging. Anyway, I took Bluebeards Revenge for a test spin this morning. It definitely makes an amazing lather. It's smooth, thick and lubricates great. And unlike some other shaving creams, it's not prone to air bubbles. Overall, its a good shaving cream.
Michael Grugel, ShavingZone.com
The Bluebeard Revenge cream is a classic shaving cream with a nice and subtle scent. In my eyes, the Bluebeards Revenge stands out as a well branded, high quality product - with the added bonus of Decelerine to slow down your beard growth. I would recommend the Bluebeards Revenge as a very good shaving cream!

Author: Dan at The Shaving Shack We're immensely proud here at the Shack in that we've finally got this fantastic product on the shelves, a long journey that’s taken since February 2003 to come to fruition. Not only is it a cracking shave (loyal customers would never forgive us if it was anything but!), it has a great signature scent based on traditional barbershop fragrances, with a modern twist. It lasts ages too, a little goes a long way as it lathers for England! We very much hope you enjoy this product as much as we have in creating it!
Author: Greame Just received my pot of Bluebeards revenge this morning, good job it came so quickly as I had not shaved since being told it was coming to give it a good test. The first thing I noticed was the scent nice, fresh and very manly not unlike a certain Taylor’s cream I like. I normally use a shaving bowl but decided to dip my brush directly in the pot as per the instructions – I was staggered at the amount of lather from so little product probably twice as much as the other product I use. I got three passes from one dip of my brush! Given that I have strong stubble and had not shaved for two days Bluebeard got me to smooth in three passes and with little touch up required. I would normally use pre-shave oil in these circumstances but none was required. Very impressed! As with any new product you get to know what works best and so I am expecting Bluebeards performance to get better as I learn how best to use it. Also if it lasts as long as it appears and saves me the cost of pre-shave oil then I will save some money too!
Author: Adam I've just shaved with this and am very impressed. Just a smidgeon was enough to give a creamy luxurious lather when used with a Semogue boar brush. The scent is pleasant and fresh, but the star quality is the lather. I have no idea if the 'special properties' work - only time will tell I suppose - but to be honest I'll buy it anyway. A lovely cream. Oh, and I like the recyclable packaging too.
Author: David Never mind the claims about reducing the appearance of your stubble - I would like to judge Bluebeards Revenge purely on its merits as a shaving cream. I have to say that The boys at Bluebeards Revenge have hit the nail right on the head and have produced a lovely product. The first thing you notice is the scent - or more to the point my wife noticed it and liked it - always a good start. Secondly the product lathers up really well using just a very small amount. It's a soft and creamy lather and feels really good on the skin. Next the shave - smooth and crisp, a real pleasure! Finally the post shave experience - my face felt pampered and soft, I think there must be an ingredient in the product that promotes this and it works a treat. The scent lingers just enough too. Congratulations boys - Bluebeards Revenge looks like a success to me.
Author: Nivlo well what can i say...the wife grabbed the box from the postie and being curious opened it up to a sound of "phwoarr" this smells nice
well prised it out of her hands to find a beautiful presented and well packaged box...you wont find better anywhere, colours are bang on.
got me wee scott out and put on a chunk of about a baked bean size crean on....into the bowl and swirl away. A minute later and the lather was coming along fine...loverly in fact, enough for 3 passes easily
nice smell...nice glide ...no irritation.,.personally i dont want anything else
well done for this lovely new product
Author: J Prout Thanks for the free pot of BlueBeards revenge.
I tried the product the last couple of days and i really like it!. The scent is very 'manly' and seems to let the razor glide really well. I'm a nooby to this way of shaving and really like the way this product feels.
Coming from the Omega shaving cream, i think it's a better product, although a tube of Omega lasts me a long time so i will see if this pot lasts the same.
My face also seems to feel much smoother after using BlueBeards Revenge and seems to feel smoother for a longer through the day, although this might be because of the aforementioned razor glide giving a better razor action.
All in all, i think this a good product, will i change to it? I think it depends on the price compared to Omega.
Author: James I just used the Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream and I can honestly say it was one of the best shaves I have ever had, since I started shaving with a traditional DE razor, I have used many creams but bluebeards is one of the best so far.
As a genuine member of the 10 o'clock in the morning shadow club, I really thought there was no hope, I even thought to use a blowtorch like Desperate Dan! After using this shaving cream, my face feel great. It gives a very close comfortable shave, smells really nice and a little goes a long way.
Author: Ian Cryer I received my Bluebeards revenge yesterday in the post and was excited to give it a try. Luckily I needed a shave, so this morning I had a shower and set about with my razor, a Merkur slant, and my badger brush. I followed the instructions, applying directly to the brush and then direct to my face instead of via a shaving mug, and I must say I was very impressed!
The smell is great, fresh and clean, the cream itself applies and lathers up brilliantly. A little really DOES go a long way. THEN there is the box. Wow, whoever designed the box and the tub it comes in deserves a medal. The skull & crossbones really sets it apart from the competition. Its truly is smart, and anyone would be proud to have it displayed in their bathroom.
Author: Ian Gale Got my Blue Beard this morning and was very impressed.
I have never used a shaving cream, opting for the traditional quality English shaving soaps ( we all know the brands).
The first thing I noticed was the smell, Its not an artificial scented boy band smell but more of subtle man smell that my better half loves.
Any way I gave it a go as I hadn't shaved for over three days so I was ready to give it a good road test.
I used a shaving brush although you can use your fingers if needed. I only slightly dipped the brush into the pot and was amazed at how much really creamy lather was created with ample left on the brush for further passes. I must say the shave was very good leaving my face very smooth and soft and considering I am ready for a new razor with no irritation.
So yep I'm a fan and I would recommend this product to anyone who is after a good close shave leaving your skin silky smooth.
Author: Richard I suppose I should start by saying that I am slightly biased – I’m much more a fan of lathering creams than I am of hard soaps. I was therefore looking forward to trying this new cream, (after a couple of days without a shave), with my Merkur slant and a fresh Feather. The packaging is very nice and the cream has a pleasant but not overpowering masculine smell. Using my “decent” brush, a thumbnail sized piece of cream whipped up into a very smooth, thick non bubbly lather well inside a minute. Its a very slick lather and I was able to have three full on ”Santa” style applications with plenty left over at the end. It held well on the face and provided me with a smooth nicely cushioned shave; it also left a pleasant smell afterwards on the skin. This stuff will go a long way – on a per shave basis this will actually be a very inexpensive product and its top draw quality as well. A cracking effort from the guys at the Shaving Shack.
Author: Daniel W Had my first shave with the bluebeard today and it was brilliant.
The scent is great and smells very manly.
The cream created a great lather that went on well and felt good.
It made for a very nice shave.
Good Stuff highly recommended.
Author: Cameron Kerr Just received my jar of BLUEBEARDS-REVENGE on opening the jar was greeted with a nice refreshing fragrance and found it to have a nice creamy luxurious feel to it. The cream also lathers well and leaves the face feeling refreshed and smooth. Will certainly use this product again.
Author: Niall McCracken Better value than shaving soap! I have never experienced such a thick luxurious lather from such a small brush load, easily enough for two proper passes. The lather leaves your skin super slick. Softens stubble better than Taylors (i think) as I can get a downward stoke at the base of my neck with no irritation which is a first. Razor blades seem to be lasting 2 to 3 shaves longer too. Smell is fabulous. Manly without the old man musk. Only criticism is that it could be even stronger. Buy it!!
Author: Paul Corfield Ran out of Taylors Avocado a few days ago and decided to order some Bluebeards Revenge based on reviews here. With Taylors I had to use a pre shave oil as well, just because my beard is so tough. I use a Murker model 42 with a Feather blade. Decided to try the Bluebeards without any oil and it works a treat. It lathers up easily and softens the stubble very well and allowed me to do a 2 pass shave on 4 days growth first thing in the morning which is usually unheard for me. Face felt fresh after the shave without any sign of irritation which I would normally have with my old cream. The scent is great, would love to see more Bluebeard products with the same scent. Well done Shaving Shack.
Author: Paul Dunlop I am not swayed by marketing but I am swayed by this product. It has a very traditional pleasant "manly" smell about it. I've not come across a better shaving cream and I've tried quite a few. Full marks.
Author: Robbie Farrance First can i say what fun itwas to be a "tester"-shows what sort of life i lead-the product you sent me was, i have to say outstanding, but it seems to me that the full size pot that i have recently received may be a tweaked product, because in conjunction with my Merkur razor, i have just had the best shaves in the past forty odd years. This stuff is truly brilliant, and produces masses of smooth soothing lather, in fact i don't know how you expect to make money from it, as it seems very little is needed-oops shouldn't have mentioned that. This stuff is so good, and i am not suggesting people try this if not very experienced with a razor (and only then at their own risk), but i stupidly got myself rather sunburned on the face whilst fishing, well after only 48hrs i was able to have a normal, if carefull shave, this was only possible i am sure, because of the magical effect of the old Bluebeards Revenge, a true wonder of modern science. I have been using a razor all my life, since i found at an early age that an electric jobby would not touch my beard, and having sensitive skin i have a cabinet full of medieval substances that are supposed to help with the ultimate shave, well they are for the bin, cos all that is needed is in Bluebeards Revenge.
Author: Simon Just got home from a foreign holiday and found this on the mat. I did wonder if it would EVER arrive!! Now that it is here I have used it twice. WOW!! Thick, creamy and goes a long way!!! Smells great too and brought back memories of the test period. Big problem here is that the ‘fairer sex’ has already sniffed something different and is on the hunt to try something other than my Tabac which she seems to get through more and more!!
Well done Shaving Shack!! Great item and well worth the wait!!
Author: Ade Manning Great creamy lather from a small dab on the shaving brush which didn't fade or take too much away from the blade, leaving a nice smooth finish. Very good, now the shaving cream used most often.
Author: Tasha So my boyfriend has been going on about this new bluebeards revenge shaving cream, which he says is supposed to slow down beard growth, I hope so as he’s constantly looking unshaven and I wouldn’t mind a little less stubble rash!
It’s meant to be for ‘real men’ but I had a sniff of it the other day and it smelt really nice! I decided to steal a bit to use on my legs as I have tried a lot of creams and they still give my sensitive legs a rash. You only need a really small amount as a little goes a long way and its really creamy, the results are great! My legs were so smooth afterwards and no rash, I will definitely carry on stealing and using this cream, I’ve never found anything quite like it! Just don’t tell my fella, whoops just did :)
Dan says: Thanks for the feedback Tasha. Allthough it is primarily for men there's no reason why women can't use it...just get your own pot!
Author: Paul Davis I have been using my jar of Bluebeard's Revenge for a good few weeks now so I feel that I can give a review covering more than just an initial assessment. The two most obvious things about the cream when I first used it were the scent and the lather. The scent is clean and fresh in the jar, and when lathered on the wet brush the strength seems to increase, without ever becoming overpowering. After the shave is finished and the face dried the scent remains subtly on the skin. The lathering can only be described as excellent. A small amount on the bristles of the brush (nothing special, just plain boar) produces loads of lather instantly when applied directly to the face. The lather is rich, thick and creamy, and easily lasts for 2 or 3 passes. The shave is smooth and the lather provides good lubrication so no irritation to the skin. As the weeks have passed all these good qualities have continued to show themselves, along with one of my favourite things about the cream - it's really moisturising. My skin seems to have improved since I started using it, with no dryness of my face at all. One further benefit of it lathering so well is that after even many uses I have barely scratched the surface of the jar so it looks like really good value for money too. Thoroughly recommended.
Author: Kamran Farooq I've been using The Bluebeards Revenge now for just over 4 weeks. As one of the people that "scent tested" it last year it has been a long but worthwhile wait in receiving the finished product. I've been shaving with a double edged razor now for nearly two years, and over this time I've tried a variety of shaving soaps, creams, oils etc, an d haven't been able to find one that I have gone back to. Until now that is. The BBR is just perfect for my THICK, SPIKY stubble, and as testament to this my kids don't mind a good night kiss from me anymore! Firstly, the packaging is great - that skull and crossbones lets you know that this stuff means business. The scent is very clean and soap-like - just as i should be. In terms of lather, I used a tiny amount on my boar hair brush and it produced a rich, thick lather in just a few strokes. The shave itself is made quite easy as BBR keeps the skin very moisturised for those of us who like to make multiple strokes. I have found that unlike other shave creams, a single application lets me shave my whole face in about 10 minutes. Best of all, is that the skin feels smooth and soft to the touch afterwards. I can certainly recommend this cream for any hair types. After a months use I have barely used any, so it should last well. Well done.
Author: Michael Rast How can you not be excited to see a tub of shaving cream with a scull and crossbones sitting on your counter? This is a great product. Very thick looking cream in the tub. Loaded some product into my brush, began building my lather in my mug and very soon it was about to run over the top. More lather than I could have used in a week, well close anyway. Started to apply the lather to my face and this great scent began to fill my nose, I can't really pin down what the smell was, but it is highly pleasurable. Very slick lather as I began to shave. Razor glides like a hot knife through butter. Bottom line is Bluebeards revenge is a top shelf product!
Author: Roger G When the securely and neatly packaged box arrived i knew I was in for a treat - The care a company takes on its image before opening the product says a lot about what it thinks of its own product in the box. Bright blue box and a skull and crossbones - shame i had already shaved yesterday actually. Anyway, it smelt pleasant and natural rather than over scented and false - wait for the real test. The tiniest amount lathered up to a magnificent covering and the first stroke of the razoe told me what I had expected by now - this was special. The razor shaved perfectly with little requirement for another stroke but such was the lather that the razor never felt like it was touching my skin - result NO RAZOR RASH - first time in years. When washed off, the lather leaves no residual stickiness and my skin has been smooth but not sore all day. I am a convert
Author: Mike Cook I get a very close, smooth shave and I don’t get that annoying facial irritation afterwards. That alone is golden! The scent is refreshing, too, without smelling like I have a bouquet of daffodils hanging around my neck (as some shaving creams do).
Author: A N West London I've been using the Revenge of the Bluebeard for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd give it a go for that time first before I posted. It is definitely the best shaving cream I have used. The shave is a lot more comfortable, smoother, requires less hacking of my skin and feels a lot nicer afterwards. I am impressed for sure. Splashing after shave is not as painful as it used to be. I've also used it probably about 10 times (as I shave every other day in the week and hardly ever shave at weekends) and I've hardly even used any of the tub. I will most definitely be purchasing this again in the future (along with the soap) although it could be a long time before I need to.
Author: Elliot Winter Smells incredible, lathers up great.
A tiny amount will leave lather everywhere.
It's incredibly good protection against the razor and leaves the skin soft and moisturized. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Author: Joshua Gregory Fantastic stuff, end of. My tub arrived this morning and couldn't wait to try it, normally my stubble is very tough and sharp which means I could only shave comfortably with about a week between shaves which meant my stubble was scruffy and irritating.
I tried this right away thinking I wouldn't have anything to lose and wow what a difference. It has only been 3 days since my last shave but Bluebears Revenge made shaving a real joy once again without the thought of days of itching between shaves. Only needed to use a tiny amount, just a slight dab left me with more than enough to do another two peoples faces, the scent of it is amazingly fresh and manly compared to a Mr Trumper. Definately worth the investment and will be ordering again when I eventually run out in a few months.
Well done Shaving Shack for managing to acquire this product.
Author: RS A little bit about my shaving routine. I usually shave after a shower and shave a couple of times a week. I use a pre-shave scrub and shaving gel by Gillette with a brush and a Mach 3 razor. I get a lot of burn and have usually got a 5 O'clock shadow a few hours later. To counteract the irritation, I use more gel and go through large volumes.
So, I now have this new product. I decide to only replace the shaving gel and not change any other part of my shaving routine. The ease of application is striking as is the lasting nature of a small volume of the product. It feels very soothing and the most important for me, no burn. My skin feels smooth and I feel I'm getting a better shave as my "2 hours later" shadow is more a "I'll be back tomorrow" shadow. My face feels less battered and my skin feels better. Also, I feel that hair takes longer to grow back. All in all, this is a brilliant product and I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks!
Author: James Dabir Would I Recommend? Absolutely! One aspect of this cream is its 'beard-reducing' properties which doesn't seem to be too impressive to the more traditional shavers. Personally I'm not too worried if my beard lessens slightly, and the extra chemicals in the cream don't bother me. I don't think Shaving Shack needed to add this USP as it is a great cream anyway, but I assume they are going for a specific market. Anyway, I urge anyone sitting on the fence to give this a try.
Author: Christopher Clarke This is my first shaving cream purchased since getting a good Razor, and i am glad i got it!! I did try a cheap shaving soap from the supermarket first but it has nothing on this stuff. This lathers so much better and you only need a fraction of the amount that I needed of the other. This was 5 times more expensive but i think it is worth every penny! I would buy this again!
