Blogger says Bluebeards Revenge reduced her hair re-growth by 50%

A leading British female blogger says The Bluebeards Revenge™ shaving cream has reduced her hair re-growth by around 50 per cent.

Laura Budd, the editor of popular fashion and lifestyle blog A Daisy Chain Dream, was also full of praise for the cream’s smell, texture and lather.

She wrote: ”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.”

Laura said The Bluebeards Revenge reduced her hair re-growth by about 50%

”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, who is 23, described the cream itself as “lovely”, adding that it smelt like an old-fashioned soap.

”You only need the tiniest amounts, about the size of a small almond, and it lathers up surprisingly well; better than many cheaper shaving foams I have used,” she concluded.

The Bluebeards Revenge™ is unique as it contains a miracle ingredient called ‘Decelerine’, which actually reduces hair growth every time it is used.

Women Behind the Rise in Sales of World’s ‘Manliest’ Shaving Cream

November 10, 2010 · Posted in Shaving Creams, Shaving in the News, The Bluebeards Revenge · Comment 

One of our best-selling brands has reported that women are behind the bumper sales of its hair-delaying shaving cream.

The Bluebeards Revenge™ is unique as it contains a miracle ingredient called ‘Decelerine’, which actually reduces hair growth every time it is used.

The premium cream, dubbed the ‘Most Manly Shaving Product On the Planet’, has been designed for men with heavy beard growth, as it can reduce a man’s stubble by 40% over just 60 days, making it’s far easier for them to shave in the morning.

The Bluebeards Revenge will tackle even the toughest of beards

Nick Gibbens, brand spokesperson, said: ”Despite the product being heavily aimed at men with heavy beard growths, we started noticing a quarter of customers buying were women. We presumed at first they were buying for their husbands, but the trend continued and is now accounting for half our sales.”

He continued: “We have conducted some research into this, and discovered that women have seen their husbands use it, or seen the Decelerine coverage, and realised that if they use it themselves, they can reduce the hair on their bodies by 40% over 60 days too. So, effectively, our ‘World’s Manliest Shaving Product’ has been hijacked by women to reduce the hair growth on their legs, underarms and bikini line!“

The Shaving Shack is even stocking pink shaving brushes

The brand revealed over 2,000 women have snapped up its miracle anti-hair product since its summer launch, and the brand has had to source more feminine shaving brushes (which we also sell at The Shaving Shack) as, unlike regular shaving gels, shaving creams require a brush to lather the cream over the skin, and their new female customers complained that traditional brushes were too manly. Female shavers have also indicated that they enjoy the sensation of using the cream with a brush.

We have just introduced a line of pink Mach3 razors

Nick added: “Despite having almost every pink shaving brush in the UK, we have today sold out of these as women are snapping them up with almost every purchase of The Bluebeards Revenge™! We’re having extraordinarily good feedback from our female customers, and because of the huge (and completely unexpected!) surge in our new customer base, we’re doing our bit and giving a donation from every sale to breast cancer charities during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Another reason for this female beauty phenomenon has been attributed to the new face of The Bluebeards Revenge™, Sacha Harding, who was recently crowned Britain’s manliest man. Sacha, the Bedford Blues rugby star, polled more than 140,000 votes to win a nationwide competition and a lucrative one-year modelling contract with The Bluebeards Revenge™.

The Bluebeards Revenge™ is available to buy from our online shaving shop, priced £14.99. A tub will last approximately 3-5 months.

The Bluebeards Revenge™ shaving cream was initially designed for real men with heavy beard growth like US flint knapper Mike Cook (see video below).

Shaving Shack products earn rave reviews

A number of shaving products available at The Shaving Shack have made it into a leading feature on the Shaving101.com blog.

Popular US shaving blogger Mike Sandoval recently published an article titled ‘My Favourite Shaving Products’.

And first prize in the shaving soap category went to DR Harris Marlborough.

DR Harris Almond Shaving Soap Bowl Beech (100g)

”Traditional, triple-milled hard soaps provide me the richest and most protective lather for my shaves,” said Mike.

”Of the assortment that I use regularly, DR Harris is significantly better in both performance and fragrance over others, including Trumper and Truefitt & Hill.

”Lathering up for a shave with this soap fills my bathroom with the noticeable aroma of fresh cedar and sandalwood. The shave with Marlborough is always great and I never grow tired of the scent.”

Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap and Ceramic Bowl (120g)

DR Harris Marlborough shaving soap (100g) is priced at just £8.95 at The Shaving Shack.

The soap is also available with an attractive wooden bowl that allows for easy storage when not in use and also looks very classy on my bathroom counter.

Mike also praised Mitchell’s Wool Fat shaving soap, describing it as a great shaving soap because of its lanolin and moisturizing properties. This soap is priced at £5.49 on our website.

The Bluebeards Revenge took second place in the shaving cream category. ”This cream easily whips into an amazing lather that is bubble-free, thick, and protective,” he said.

How to make a great shaving lather

September 28, 2010 · Posted in Shaving Brushes, Shaving Creams, Shaving Tips · Comment 

For many people who don’t make the time to prepare when shaving, they may not be getting the most out of the experience. The application of the shave cream to work up a lather is, in fact, an important part of the wet shaving process and should not be taken lightly.

If you put a bit more thought into this, you can perfect your shaving performance and get the close shave you desire. You need to start by looking at your pre-shave preparations.

By working the lather into your face you can offer your face protection from the razor and the lubrication allows the blade to glide smoothly across the skin. Once you get this right, you will also notice your skin looks great as the lather moisturises and exfoliates the skin.

The process should begin with the use of a badger brush as this type of shaving brush can get the best results. Choose the brush carefully for a more luxurious and softer feel on the skin. Also, be sure to select shaving soap that allows for a moister and richer lather. This does three things; moisturises your face, lubricates the beard and softens it, giving it the best preparation for the shaving experience.

If you have followed the advice so far, you will have gathered all you need to make a good lather which is ideal for getting the most out of wet shaving.

The next stage is to run the hot water, getting it as hot as you possibly can. If you have bought a decent badger brush that holds moisture well then you will find that as you turn the brush slowly in the water, it absorbs and holds plenty of water.

lather How to make a great shaving lather

Making a great lather is the key to an enjoyable shave

After this you need to use the tips of the badger brush to permeate the ends with the shaving soap. A lot of force does not need to be applied here, so only do this until lather starts to form in the soap mug.

There is not much more you need to do now until you begin the shaving process. First, you just need to check that the badger brush is warm and full of water and soap, and that your face is still warm and lubricated. If this is the case you can now apply the soap using just the tips of the brush in an unhurried circular motion on the facial area.

As you start to build the lather, the soap is worked deeper into your skin, achieving what you wanted at the outset: a clean face that is exfoliated and protected from the razor blade. Make sure you work the lather evenly on the face to get the best shaving preparation.

If you follow these tips for a good lather technique you can get a much closer and better shave, plus you reduce the need to spend your hard earned money on an excess of other shaving products. However, a pre-shave moisturiser may still be required and a quality aftershave.

Coates Limited edition back in stock!

September 7, 2010 · Posted in Shaving Creams · Comment 

As expected, we sold out of the fantastic Coates Limited Edition Tea Tree Shaving Cream but fear not, we’ve just had a new batch arrive today!

Bluebeards Revenge described as one of best shaving creams ever!

We recently sent Mike Sandoval, from Shaving101.com, tubs of Coate’s Special Edition Tea Tree and Rosemary Shaving Cream and The Bluebeards Revenge™.

Whilst Mike jumped at the chance to review Coate’s quality shaving cream, he was slightly less excited about trying The Bluebeards Revenge™.

“I prefer more traditional products and I was hesitant to try a cream that contains an ingredient that affects hair growth,” said Mike.

Mike Sandoval was full of love for the world's manliest shaving cream - Photo taken from Shaving101.com

“One day a box arrived at my house with a tub of the new shaving cream, so I tried to pawn it off on Isaac to write this review, but he didn’t want to use it either. I didn’t want to look like a ‘bum fluff brigade member’ to Nick (Shaving Shack’s website manager), so I gave it a try.”

And Mike was full of praise for our flagship shaving cream, describing it as one of the best shaving creams he has ever used.

“The shaving cream itself is very dense, but it is easy to work with,” he explained.

“An almond-sized amount immediately whips into a thick lather with no bubbles in it. Bluebeards’ lather is very dense - like marshmallow cream, the perfect lather because the richer the cream the more it protects your skin during your shave.

“This formulation creates the lather that all other shaving creams should aspire to create. It’s the trifecta of a perfect lather: rich, thick, and protective.”

The US wet shaving guru added: “With some creams that don’t provide good protection, the blade can skip on your skin or make it difficult to shave against the grain, especially at the lower neck or jawline. The Bluebeards Revenge™ lather is very lubricating and allows the blade to glide along the skin smoothly. The richness of the cream coats the face without being too thick to clog the razor or too thin to run off.

”It’s especially good for straight razor shaving for two reasons: (1) the thick lather creates good lubrication for the blade, and (2) the lather stays on your face without dripping off even when taking a little more time with a straight razor.”

Mike then went on to praise the cream’s signature and unique scent, describing it as “fresh, clean scent that is very pleasant on the face”.

He added: ”It’s a traditional barbershop-style fragrance that is noticeable, but enjoyable. After the shave, the cream rinses off the face very easily leaving the skin well nourished and conditioned. This cream will be especially enjoyed by men who don’t like to use aftershave or moisturizer because it won’t leave the skin feeling dry.”

Mike also offered an apology to Nick for avoiding his requests to try The Bluebeards Revenge™ (which he has accepted by the way ).

He concluded by saying: “Although I was apprehensive, I’m grateful that Nick encouraged me to try it. 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.”

Praise indeed Mike.
