Anthony Logistics for Men Sings the Prostate Cancer Blues
It's September, and that can only mean one thing at Anthony Logistics for Men - Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Once again Anthony is raising awareness and money for research and treatment through their "Blue" line of products. And for the shaving fans, there's Energy Shaving Cream:
Shave Cream with vitamins, aloe, squalene, and glycerin softens your beard and makes your razor glide. Promotes a smoothe shave. Lightly scented with your favorite Anthony scent that refreshes but never overpowers.
Squalene? Wikipedia time!
Squalene is a natural organic compound originally obtained for commercial purposes primarily from shark liver oil, though there are botanic sources as well, including amaranth seed, rice bran, wheat germ, and olives. All higher organisms produce squalene, including humans.
Don't worry. Very unlikely that Anthony is harvesting their squalene from humans a la Fight Club. I'm sure they're out there hunting sharks with lasers.
10% of all proceeds will be donated to prostate cancer research, so stock up on some great products and take stock that you're helping the fight against cancer.

OK, is it me, or does that photo of the seat cushion look totally Photoshopped? I'm no computer forensics expert, but the angling of text doesn't look quite right. I'm totally calling CSI.

Gifts for Dad: Anthony Logistics
Next up on our shaving tour of Father's Day gifts is The Dropp Kit Tray from Anthony Logistics for Men. That's not a typo. This isn't a dopp kit. It's a "dropp" kit.
Empty your change, remove that bulging wallet from your back pocket, take off that watch that you check incessantly to keep up with your hectic schedule, and place your keys (with no worries that you won't know where they are tomorrow morning) on your new personal valet tray.
The Dropp Kit is packaged on a thick, black, Italian Leather Valet Tray made exclusively for Anthony Logistics For Men by Arte & Cuoio.
What? You've never heard of Arte & Cuoio? Yeah, well neither had I. But their designs are pretty cool. Check out their website for a little edumacation in modern Italian art.
Anyway, aside from the leather dropp-ings, the kit also comes with Glycolic Facial Cleanser, Pre-Shave Oil, Shave Cream, and After Shave Balm. The Dropp Kit Tray from Anthony Logistics for Men is $175. Your dad's bulging back pocket will thank you.

SheFinds' HeFinds Friday
The site
SheFinds covers women's trends. What's cool, what's hot, and nothing in between. And on Fridays they often post a special
HeFinds Guy Friday because hey, it's not just women who want to look good.
A few weeks ago they posted five "tips from Anthony Sosnick, the grooming guru behind Anthony Logistics for Men". We've reviewed Anthony Logistics for Men and found them to be pretty darn good. A great way to transition from the drug-store world of shaving into the specialty world.
The kit above is The Perfect Shave from Anthony Logistics for Men. $50 gets you an "8 oz Glycolic Facial Cleanser, 2 oz Pre-Shave Oil, 2.5 oz Shave Cream, and a 2.5 oz After Shave Balm, packaged in a sporty, black, mesh dopp bag." No too shabby. In fact downright trendy.
Special thanks to Laura at Shirt Snob for sending this in.

Anthony Logistics' Product of the Month - Ingrown Hair Treatment
This month's Product of the Month from Anthony Logistics is Ingrown Hair Treatment. Eeww. But what's worse, talking about it, or living with it. That's right. Let's talk about it now, so you never have to live with it.
A gel complex of glycolic, salicylic and phytic acids gently removes dead skin, helps fight bacteria and frees the hair. Moisturizing and not drying. Willowherb and lavender soothe and calm the skin. Incombination thses help prevent ingrown hairs.
Oops. OK. Couple typos. They're investing their time and energy into eradicating in-grown hairs. Not writing copy.
And since Ingrown Hair Treatment ($25) is Anthony's Product of the Month, there's a special deal associated with it. When you buy it, along with Shave Cream and Glycolic Facial Cleanser, enter promo code "beatthebumps" and get a free mesh dopp bag. Excuse me - a free "nifty" mesh dopp bag.

Review of Anthony Logistics for Men
It's review time again. For the last month or so we've been putting the products from Anthony Logistics for Men (which we got from our friends at Details for Men) through the ShavingStuff ringer. More specifically - the products from The Perfect Shave kit, which include their Glycolic Facial Cleanser, Pre-Shave Oil, Shave Cream, and After Shave Balm. An $83 value, yours for only $50. Act now and we'll throw in a black mesh dopp bag and a grooming instruction guide. Hurry! Supplies are limited.
Not really. They've got plenty.
First up is the Glycolic Facial Cleanser. Broken record time - great shaves start with clean skin. You must wash! I was initially skeptical of the Glycolic Facial Cleanser. Most cleansers I've used from other men's grooming lines either foam or lather up. Kind of a visual confirmation that they're really doing something. This did neither. It just sat there on my face, no matter how aggressively I worked in over my skin. The thing is, it did the job well. Anthony's cleanser does in fact get the dirt and oil off your face, and actually washes off your face better than any other cleanser I've used. Most other cleansers leave your skin slightly slick, like you can't wash off that last layer of soap film. Anthony's cleanser came off clean. Good stuff.
OK, let's shave. The Perfect Shave includes both Pre-Shave Oil and Shave Cream. It also includes an instruction sheet, which I always think is a good idea. In this case, though, I think the instructions are missing a step. Step 1 is clean your face. Easy. Done. Step 2 tells you to "apply a thin layer of Anthony Logistics Pre-Shave Oil to help lubricate the skin and soften the beard hairs." Step 3 is to "apply a thin layer of Anthony Logistics Shave Cream." What they don't tell you to do, and what I think is really important, is to apply a little water to your face between steps 2 and 3. Not a lot of water will stick to your face, since you've got a base of oil in there, and what does stick will tend to bead up. But I found that Anthony's Shave Cream lathers up much better with a little water in the mix. Also, you'll get a smoother shaving experience - less tug of the razor against your skin. I tried it both ways - with and without the middle layer of water - and found that the water definitely adds to the comfort of the shave.
That said I have two complaints with Anthony's shave system. The first is packaging - the bottle which holds the Pre-Shave Oil has a wide mouth which makes it difficult to get a small amount out at a time. I ended up holding the bottle against my palm and tipping the entire thing over, getting a nickel size each time. However then the oil is in my palm and not my fingertips, making it more difficult to apply to my face. I would have preferred either a squeeze bottle or a smaller mouth.
The second complaint was with the closeness of the shave. Some of my beard hairs grow straight out from the skin, and some grow parallel to the skin. I've used shaving creams before which do a great job at standing these troubled hairs up. With Anthony's Shave Cream, I often would find myself looking in the mirror after I was all done and seeing an patch of skin which could have been shaved closer. The only thing left to do at that point was to get out the electric razor.
Anthony's Shave Cream foams up to a rich, thick, white lather, and there's enough left on your face for a second pass of the razor even when it looks like you've taken it all off with the first. That's good. If you've got facial hair like a mustache or goatee which you're trying to preserve though, you might consider going with a shaving cream which is a little more clear.
Done shaving? Throw a little After Shave Balm on your face. Your skin will drink it up. This stuff is great. No complaints whatsoever.
All of the Anthony products we tested are labeled as "Fragrance Free", but all do have a noticeable smell. The Glycolic Facial Cleanser is slightly sweet and fruity, and the rest are all slightly minty. Overall very nice and not overpowering. I would definitely recommend the Glycolic Facial Cleanser and the After Shave Balm to anyone. I'm a little more hesitant about the Pre-Shave Oil and Shave Cream. If you've got a light beard or don't need to shave every day, they might work well for you. If you've got a heavy beard and are looking for the seriously smooth shave, I'd probably look elsewhere.
The Perfect Shave Kit from Anthony's Logistics for Men is $50. For the holidays, consider giving it to someone who needs to be broken from the drug store shaving cream habit. It would make a good entree into higher quality men's grooming products.
