Shave oils

Posted on 25th May at 07:16 AM Posted by: Steve Barton

Shave oils are not water soluble and you can find they are not so good at wetting the beard and softening it. Make sure you a good facial wash in hot water first to assist with softening the beard and massage the oil into your beard really well. You’ll need hot water to rinse your blade too.

I have just purchased men’s face wash, face scrub and daily moisturiser from the expert range, and I think the products are really good. I was looking around the store for some face scrub and couldn’t find any that satisfied me, but then I came across the expert range and bought all three. I normally use Simple products, but they don’t do a good face scrub and their moisturiser, though excellent, doesn’t contain a sunscreen so I liked the fact that the moisturiser gave SPF 15. I suppose I was attracted by the packaging which has a neutral blue colour. I also liked the fact that the products were for men, and however modern or effeminate a man may be, we still like to have good old men’s products, mainly because the array of female products is so large it’s bewildering. The products have a no-nonsense feel and look about them, and I suppose I liked that too. I was also attracted by the price, which felt right for grooming products, and the introductory discount was incentive too. The face wash and face scrub work really well, the moisturiser goes on easily and I like the fact that it is fragrance-free, but most of all I like the pump dispenser which gives you just the right dosage without any fiddly tops or lids – perfect for a man. Congratulations.

Thumbs up for the scrub!

Like the previous commentator, I’m quite impressed with my experience of one expert product so far. For good few years I’ve been faithful to Simple scrub/wash and only tried yours yesterday as for a while their products have been hard to find (popularity? Not stocking?...), and I’ve tried other sensitive products which weren’t kind at all. Seeing soap and fragrance free was assuring. ...I actually think it’s better than Simple for two reasons, in that your face feels softer longer and is cheaper per 100ml. I might explore the rest of the range at a later date. Good work. I think, as the Charlie R said, you’ve create a nice niche as us guys are often sidetracked in products like these, it’s not just the ladies that want to feel good. Keep it up.
