Ultra Shave - Please Don't Shave Like This Man

ShavingStuff reader Dennis recently sent this video of a man demonstrating the British product Ultra Shave. Warning - this video contains scene for mature shavers only. Specifically - do NOT shave like this man. Ultra Shave may work wonders on a beard, but shaving wreaks havoc on your skin. Use as few strokes as possible. Don't repeatedly hack your skin with a blade. I kept wincing as I heard the scrape of the razor over his face. That man may have skin as tough as leather, but that's because he's been using his face as a strop.

So what's up with this Ultra Shave product? I don't know. It's available online at Modern Gent for £12.95. There are some wonderful testimonials below. My favorite is from Tony Harris, age 30, which begins "Like most gentlemen of note and breeding, I consider myself to have very sensitive skin..." The British are so dignified.

Anyone use this product? Are you not supposed to use water with it? Who doesn't rinse their razor after a couple strokes? And is the guy in the movie really Francis Rossi of Status Quo?

I tried this stuff - its really just a novelty shaving oil. I do like to use a shaving oil though so I can see what I am doing. My preference is Destination Nation Everglades Shaving Oil. You don't talk much about that line and I really like it.

Hi,

Those comments you made about the guy shaving with Ultra Shave, I think they were a bit OTT. I've used the product for over a year, and it gives me a really comfortable shave. I used to get really bad razor rash until I started using this cream.

There's a couple of buudies of mine that have also been using it now for almost as long as I have, and they are quite like it too ?

Have you ever used it ?

Ray.

lol nice find

That has to be some of the worse shaving technique I have ever seen... and he is selling shaving products? lol

Seems odd to me that you would trash this guy and the product when you haven't even tried the stuff ?

Might be worth reading some of the testimonials on his site, or if you feel he isn't credible (after exchanging e-mails with him I find he's been in this business for over 30 years, with a good reputation), have we come down to knocking (should that be mocking) a guy when we know nothing about the man and haven't tried the product ? Read what folks have to say on www.mankind.co.uk they don't all like it, but 20 out of 23 do, that's a better
rating than most products get.

I really don't like this pack animal attitude of wound a guy's reputation and trash a product, just for the hell of it, is that how we behave these days ? what happened to respectful and reasonable attitudes.

Ray.

He's saying that the product sucks. He's saying that this guy's shaving technique is questionable. So no one's trashing the product or trying to hurt his reputation.


Posted by: Maxx at February 14, 2007 11:28 AM

How can anyone who hasn't tried the stuff say it sucks ? that sound credible to you ? as far as the guys shaving technique well we all have our own way to shave, maybe you can do a video of how you shave, then we can all critique that ? Was it Russel above who said "I've tried this stuff" and then goes on to say "it's just a novelty oil" anyone who has actually used it would know that it's nothing like an oil !
What's with this Brit bashing ? I think the comment about the Brits is uncalled for, smart assed, and below the belt. I don't see anyone else walking shoulder to shoulder with our boys in Iraq. Different they may be, but I'm glad they stand with us when most other countries look the other way.

I get an excellent shave using this stuff, and I'm not on my own, check out the comments at,

Someone seems to have an agenda here to me, is it because it's a British product that it's trash ?
what is that all about ?

Ray.

I sent for some of this cream from moderngent thinking that I might as well try it, everything else cuts me to ribbons, so after wait in for 2 weeks it finally arrived on Thursday. Only used it twice so far, but I like it, didn't get razor burn but I did get a decent shave from it. I think you guys are miising out on something here, certainly an odd way to shave, no foam at all, and you can't even see it when you rub it in. Worth trying in my opinion, glad I did.

I agree with Ray - someone here does appear to have an agenda, although my guess is that it is Ray - I'm not a betting man, but I'm up for putting a small wager down that Ray works for Ultra.
