June 2008 Wrap Up for Shaving Stuff

Kind of crazy to think we're midway through the year, but today is July 1st. We're looking forward to shaving with products from Peter Thomas Roth this month, but first, let's look back and see what we learned.

Reviews

Most of June was spent revisiting John Allan's products, which continue to be rock solid. If you missed any of our reviews, we've got five of them. Shave shaving cream, Splash after shave, Scrub exfoliant, Face replenishment moisturizer, and Matte styling pomade. All first rate products. All highly recommended.

We also had a couple of reader reviews - the first of the
MANGROOMER Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Hair Shaver, and the second of Barbasol Ultra Sensitive Skin Shaving Cream and Balm. Don't take my word for it. Seriously, I didn't write these.

Contests

A big thanks again to our partner Philips Norelco for the ShavingStuff/arcitec contest where we gave away five razors. Congrats again to our two mailing list winners and our three write-in winners who had the guts to bare all and share their shaving stories. Read the winning first, second, and third stories here.

Misc

While the early part of the month was dominated by Fathers Day gift suggestions, we did have a few articles worthy of note. One astute Shaving Stuff reader wrote in that Proraso products are now at Bath and Body Works under the C.O. Bigelow Name. We also were lit up by NXT Light Shave Gel, which literally has a light in the bottom to give the packaging that other-worldly glow. Shaving with future? Why yes!

Finally, we restarted Celebrity Facial Hair Friday with Mike Myers. Hmm... Looks like he's lost his mojo again. Someone call Austin Powers.
