February Wrap Up
Reviews
Three reviews this February - first one of Urth Perfect Travel Kit (which we split into part one - Urth Face Wash and Scrub and part two - Urth Shave and Face Balm). Urth products are scented with white tea (among many other natural ingredients) and just might win the Best-Scent award around here. Second review was of the Panasonic ER421KC Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer. Didn't hold up to my old Braun. Thankfully it's cheap, and eventually gets the job done. Third review was of Marvis toothpaste. No, I don't suggest you shave with it. But if you're looking for more adult, less flavor-blasted-crystals, give Marvis a try. Currently in the ShavingStuff studios we're testing out products from John Allan. Should have the review in the next week or two.
New Products
Got a bunch of products in this month - the Elemis Universal Traveller (which looks awesome), Bold for Men (a dry shave formula), and Maine Shave's four step shaving system (all natural). We're building up a little bit of a backlog here, so it might take a little while before we get to all of these.
Controversy
Without a doubt the most controversial post this month was for Ultra Shave, where we linked to a video demonstration of a man using Ultra Shave. People jumped all over me for saying "Don't shave like this man". I think it was pretty clear that I wasn't slamming the product, just the shaver. Seriously, if you regularly shave the same part of your face more than twice each shave, you're doing something wrong. Get a better razor or get a better shaving cream. I'm telling you this for your own good.
Gillette
Gillette introduced its new Phantom Fusion Power Razor this month. "...sleek new color, featuring a striking jet-black handle with copper and silver accents." Should be getting a couple in soon, so I'll let you in on the low-down.
Celebrities
And celebrities... Oh celebrities. By now you all know that Britney shaved her head. I'm sure the guys over at HeadBlade have already signed her up for endorsements. In other troubles, Aquateen Hunger Force's Frylock (and others) created quite a disturbance in the Boston area with a guerilla advertising scheme gone horribly awry. If only he didn't have that damn goatee. Then he wouldn't be evil.
Be good people. Spring is just around the corner.
