Flagship shaving cream praised for amazing lather
A leading US wet shaving guru has described the lather produced by The Bluebeards Revenge™, our flagship shaving cream, as one of the best he has ever seen.
Harold Charvat, from popular wet shaving blog Wet-Shavers.com, also praised the luxurious cream for its ability to provide “close irritation-free shaves”.

“This cream made lather like you wouldn’t believe,” said a delighted Harold. “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.”
He added: “And 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. I’ve used The Bluebeards Revenge™ with both a Tuckaway razor with an Israeli/Crystal blade, and a Red Tip with a Feather. I got outstanding, close irritation-free shaves with both set-ups.”
Harold also stressed how cost effective the shaving cream is. “Don’t object to the price, because it doesn’t take much product to get the lather blooming,” he explained. “If your beard growth slows as a result of committed use, hey, it’s all to the good. You’ll save even more.”
He concluded his review by saying: “The Bluebeards Revenge™ is a dense, thick shaving cream that produces one of the best lathers I’ve ever shaved with.”

The Bluebeards Revenge: ‘It’s rich, it’s smooth, and it’s creamy’, says leading style blog
The world’s manliest shaving cream, The Bluebeards Revenge™, has picked up even more positive press.
Leading UK style blog The Fashion Guide was full of praise for the luxurious shaving cream, and especially its unique and cool packaging.
“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,” said the site.
The style blog was also impressed with the cream’s smell, describing it as “really, really good, clean and sexy”, adding that “you may have to put up with some neck nuzzling I’m afraid”.
The Fashion Guide then tested the feel of the cream and did not come away disappointed.
“It’s rich, it’s smooth, and it’s creamy,” they said. “A small amount in the palm of the hand lathered up really well and went on smoothly with great coverage.”
But what about the quality of the actual shave? Well The Bluebeards Revenge™ did not fail to please; with the site claiming it provided a “great, smooth shave”.

He added: “As someone with sensitive skin, I’m appreciative of the moisturizers and various other emollients designed to reduce irritation.

Battle of The Titans: The Bluebeards Revenge vs The King of Shaves
The Bluebeards Revenge™ has come out on top in a fierce battle with King of Shaves’ Woman Smooth and Sensitive Shaving Gel.
Jenny Hayden, from leading fashion and style website The Style PA, compared the effectiveness of both of these popular products.
“I may not have a beard, but I’ve got two legs, so I used the girl’s shaving gel on my left side and the men’s shaving cream on my right,” explained Jenny.
And what did Jenny think? “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,” she wrote.
”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.
“Guys better watch out if they’ve bought this (The Bluebeards Revenge™) because it’s great for girls too.”
Jenny concluded her review by saying: “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.”

Men’s shaving cream reviews – Cyril Salter Luxury Shaving Cream (Indian Sandalwood 165g)
One of our luxurious shaving creams has been given a rave review by a respected American wet shaving expert.
Mike Sandoval, from leading wet shaving website Shaving101.com, was full of praise for The Cyril Salter Indian Sandalwood shaving cream.
The shaving guru started off his review by praising the cream for its soft texture, fine lather and subtle fragrance.
”Whether you lather directly on your face or in a bowl or scuttle, this cream this cream easily whips in to a rich and usable lather without having a tendency to get too thin or require an excessive amount of water to maintain its hydration,” he said.
”The lather held a nice consistency throughout the shave and showed no issues of drying down between passes.
”I found this to be especially good for straight razor shaves, which take a bit longer due to the slower cutting technique.
”The result was a smooth shave that carried the blade easily over my skin and left my face feeling well protected and hydrated at the end of the shave.”
Mike concluded his review, by saying: “While not as exquisite in fragrance as some other shaving creams, Cyril R. Salter Indian Sandalwood shaving cream performs amazingly well given that it retails for a fraction of the price.”

Parker 98R Safety Razor Reviewed by Shaving101.com
We recently sent out a Parker 98R safety razor to Mike Sandoval, who writes for leading US wet shaving website Shaving101.com.
Mike had politely told us before we sent him the 98R that he had already tested the Parker 91R and had given it a “less-than-favorable” review.
However, he said he was open-minded and really wanted to give Parker another chance to prove they produced quality razors.
So off went the 98R by plane across the pond…
The US wet shaving guru started off his 98R review by saying: “When unpacking the razor, I was most surprised by the weight of the 98R. The handle and cutting head weigh in at approximately 4.3 ounces (121 grams), making this one monster of a razor.
“The handle design is a variation of Merkur’s barber-pole style and has a one-direction spiral-knurling pattern instead of the diamond pattern found on the Merkur. The knurling is cut deep and uniformly, and it provides a good grip surface on the handle.”
He went on to add: “The chrome plating on the razor and cutting head is applied well with no noticeable spots of uneven coating. The two-piece cutting head itself lined up properly when loading a blade and reassembling the razor, leaving an even blade exposure on each side of the cutting head.”
Mike explained that he thought the cutting action of the razor felt a bit more aggressive than he expected due to its heavy feel in hand, but added that the 98R delivered a “solid shaving performance”.
In conclusion, Mike said he found the Parker 98R to be well made and a fair alternative to the more expensive Merkur 38C, adding it is a “good value razor for the budget conscious wet shaver”.

The Parker 98R retails for just £21.99 at the Shaving Shack. We also stock a large number of other Parker razors and affordable double edge safety razors.
