A Trio of TSA-Approved Travel Kits
When the TSA announced their crazy rules about liquids and gels on airplanes, who would have predicted they'd create a new market. Well, that's exactly what happened, and we're seeing an explosion of TSA-approved travel kits from all the major players in the men's grooming world.
Take Billy Jealousy's Wanderlust Travel Kit ($36), which comes complete with regulation 2 ounce containers of Hydroplane Shave Cream, Fuzzy Logic Shampoo, White Knight Facial Cleanser, ILLICIT Body Wash, Cool Medium Hair Gel, and most importantly - a Clear Vinyl Pouch.
Or, if you're a Baxter man, check out Baxter of California's Travel Kit + Dopp ($50). Baxter's gonna outfit you with 2 ounce bottles of Daily Face Wash, Oil Free Moisturizer, Super Close Shave Formula, After Shave Balm, Daily Protein Shampoo, a couple of hotel size EDA cleansing Bars, and a custom travel dopp bag. That means you're going to have to supply your own zip-lock clear plastic bag.
Finally, Anthony's in the TSA game with Anthony Logistics for Men's Grab + Go Travel Kit ($35). Two ounce bottles of Glycolic Facial Cleanser, Facial Scrub, Shave Cream, Astringent, Coconut Shampoo, Cleansing Gel, and the requisite zip top plastic bag.
Most of your favorite brands now sell these airplane-safe travel packs, so click on over to your products of choice and get set to sail through the airport.
Billy Jealousy introduced two new products recently which may have gotten lost in the holiday mix - Liquidsand and White Knight. Liquidsand is the finest south pacific beach sand, boiled, pulverized, and reduced to liquid form. Perfect for face and scalp. White Knight is literally a fossilized medieval knight shoved in a bottle. A natural antiseptic.
Less penetrating than a scrub but more powerful than a face wash, LiquidSand cleans thoroughly to remove dead skin cells, dirt and related grime. Preps skin for a less irritating shave without overdrying. LiquidSand's pearlized, non-foaming formula is gentle enough to use every day.
Perfect for normal to dry skin, White Knight Daily Facial Cleanser contains essential moisturizing agents to provide necessary hydration while cleansing skin. The white, foaming, pearlized formula gently cleans without stripping skin of essential oils. Make White Knight a part of your daily regimen.
The holiday season is fast approaching and you've got a list with a bunch of question marks on it. What to get for that special man in your life? Well look no further than the 2007 ShavingStuff Holiday Gift Guide. We've got all he'll need, from creams to razors, books, toys, and more. And even a little something for the ladies.
Shaving Cream
Sure, we all start shaving with foamy supermarket shaving cream. But eventually we aspire to the finer things in life. The brands below offer a superior shave which is close, comfortable, and sublime. A gift set is the perfect way to sample new products, as well as introduce someone to the world of better shaving. Gentlemen's Refinery - $199 Billy Jealousy - $50 The Art of Shaving - $38 ZIRH - $59 MenScience - $55 Baxter of California - $60
Still not seeing it? Surf on over to the Details for Men gift kit page and see what strikes your fancy.
Electric Razors
There were a couple of new products released this year from the leaders in electric razor technology. If you want the top of the line traditional electric razor, go for the Pulsonic. If you're interested in a wet/dry electric shave, go for the Moisture Shaving System. Braun Pulsonic - $215 Philips Norelco Moisture Shaving System - $149
Pubic Shaving
Don't even think about shaving downstairs without the proper equipment. Give yourself an extra optical inch with the BodyGroom, or go completely bare with the Cleancut, still the #1 choice in the porn industry. Philips Norelco Bodygroom - $34.99 no!no! - $250 Seiko Cleancut - $75
Head Shaving
Just like you wouldn't shave downstairs without the proper equipment, you don't want to shave the roof without the proper tools. Get the gear designed for your noggin. Headblade - $10.99 Sharps Mission: Control Bald Head Balm SPF 15 - $24
Back Shaving
Yeah, I don't want to talk about it either. If you know a guy who needs one of these, just do him a favor and buy it for him. And give it to him while no one else is in the room. MANGROOMER - $39.95
Toys
Nothing beats a little fun in the tub or a soft foam book. Teach your little squirt how to shave like his papa. Shaving in the Tub from Alex Toys - $6.79 My Shaving Kit foam book from Innovative Kids - $3.32.
Billy's hit another home run with the Billy Jealousy Combination Code Face Moisturizer. Got a little dry skin? Or maybe you want to re-hydrate after you've washed that that T-zone. Guess what? Combination Code has Green Tea. Perfect for T-zones.
GREEN TEA, CHAMOMILE & CALENDULA: Antioxidants; help protect the skin from environmental and endogenous damages
Funny side note: You know how they say "tea" in French? "the" With a little accent thingy. Must be impossible to search for tea on the Internet if you're French.
Billy Jealousy Combination Code Face Moisturizer has a pleasing scent. I can definitely smell the green tea, with subtle floral and citrus hints behind it. Also, it's thicker than most facial moisturizers I've tried, which I like. You need less of it to cover your face, and I think the extra thickness will be great for the winter when your skin is a little drier.
Tell Father Time to get bent with Combination Code Face Moisturizer. Lightweight and easily absorbed, Combination Code will hydrate, smooth and soften your face in no time. Unlock the code to great-looking skin.
Rough, dry hands will become a thing of the past with Golden Gloves Therapeutic Hand Cream. A tropical brew of botanical extracts like Monoi de Tahiti, Golden Gloves absorbs quickly to protect, nourish and moisturize your hardworking mitts.
And here's the cool part - be one of the first 50 orders to buy both and get a free 8 oz bottle of Hydroplane Shave Cream. Um, that's stuff's good. In fact its like the best we've ever shaved with. Oh, and I just got this promotional email late this afternoon, so there's a good chance if you order now you'll be one of the first 50.
Billy Jealousy just added new item to their fine line of men's grooming products - Sucker Punch Face Scrub. As the name might imply, it's going to be a little rough on your face. But in a good way. We're talking exfoliation.
Dislodge dirt, dead surface skin cells and other impurities with Sucker Punch Face Scrub, a powerful combination of crushed walnut shells, vitamins and essential oils. Sucker Punch will give you the edge you need to go all the way, champ.
Ever wonder what became of those discarded walnut shells? Well now you know. I wonder if there's a need for pistachio shells. I'm a master at those.
Illicit - The New Cologne for Men by Billy Jealousy
The creative juices are still flowing over at Billy Jealousy, and this time they've concocted a new secret formula designed to enhance your "sophisticated bad boy" image. Introducing Illicit, the new cologne for men, the latest in Billy's expanding line of quality men's products.
Now I'm not really a cologne guy, so when they say "Lush Citrus Bergamot forms the foundation of this wicked new fragrance, while a smoothe intermission of Ivy and Ginger lead to a cool finale of Tea and Sandalwood," for all I know they could be talking about a chardonnay. But I will tell you this, Illicit smells pretty darn good. It's subtle and not overpowering, yet noticeable and arousing enough for ShavingStuff wife to ask me to use it again later in the evening. Apparently I'd been a very bad boy.
Illicit packaging comes with Billy's trademark wit:
WARNING: Keep away from heat, flame, minors and probation officers. ILLICIT can only be shipped via ground due to hazmat regulations.
Illicit is $65 for 3.4oz (100mL) and is available now.
For serious styling and that irresistible well-hydrated look, apply Cool Medium, a lighweight medium-hold hair gel, to damp hair. Style as desired. Feel cool. Look hot.
We've come to love Billy Jealousy, starting with their amazing shaving products. (Read our review here.) And now Billy's got our head covered with their new line of hair care. Cool Medium is available today for $15 in a 2oz tub. It also contains DHT blockers which help prevent hair-loss. Good thing, since without hair, you'd have no need for hair gel. See how smart these guys are?
There's still nothing like the killer combination of Billy Jealousy's Hot Towel pre-shave cream treatment and Hydroplane shaving cream. Mix a little of each into your palm and apply to a warm wet face. Let those magical little silicon balls form a slick surface for your razor to glide over, cutting only the whisker. Read the full ShavingStuff review of Billy Jealousy here.
If you're more of a gel shaver, the advance word around the ShavingStuff shave studios is ZIRH shaving gel. While we're still in the process of reviewing it, ZIRH shaving gel looks to take top prize in the gel department. Key factor (aside from a great shave) - completely transparent. Perfect for the modern facial sculptor.
Finally, if you're a fan of applying your shaving cream with the soft hair of a badger shaving brush, we recommend Baxter of California's Super Close Shave Formula. No false advertising here. You will get a super close shave. Read the full review of Baxter's Super Close Shave Formula here.
After a long holiday weekend it's tough to get back into the swing of things. So how nice was it to come home to the latest product from Billy Jealousy - Cashmere Coat strengthening conditioner. You may remember that Billy recently introduced Fuzzy Logic shampoo, and now the long awaited companion conditioner is available.
Sun, wind and pollution can rob your hair of its natural strength and luster. Banish these to the dark side with Cashmere Coat Hair Strengthening Conditioner: a peppermint infused conditioner with DHT blockers that restores strength and essential hydration to your cherished locks.
Cashmere Coat is available now online at $22 for an 8 oz bottle. And don't forget - "A portion of the proceeds [...] is donated to the BIlly Jealousy Fund supporting human needs, the environment and the arts." Think about it - you can have great hair and save the world.
Hi. I'm old. Know how I know I'm old? Because I don't get MySpace.
Now you might say "Russ, you blog. That's young and hip." And to some extent, you'd be right. But the real generation gap in my book is MySpace. If you get it - young, if not - old. I, sadly, am old.
So if you use MySpace, and chances are you do, click on over to www.myspace.com/billyjealousy and become a friend. Or leave a comment. Or do something. And then tell me what you did, so I can learn how to be young again.
As we mentioned a couple weeks ago, our friends over at Billy Jealousy have introduced a new shampoo into their line of skin care products called Fuzzy Logic. They sent us a sample which we've been using now for about 5 days. Now I don't really know much about shampoo, or what to look for when reviewing it, but here's my one piece of anecdotal evidence - ShavingStuff wife remarked (totally unprovoked) "Hey, you smell good." after I used it for the first time. Is it possible that I've never smelled good before? Naw. Must be the shampoo.
Fuzzy Logic has a nice, pepperminty smell to it. It also has ingredients to block DHT, which leads to hairloss. (I had to look that up.) And, according to the back of the bottle:
Unfortunately, Fuzzy Logic does not come with a small stick to beat back your anxious hordes of admirers.
So, to rectify this obvious omission, here is a list of ShavingStuff recommended small sticks:
Introducing Fuzzy Logic Shampoo from Billy Jealousy
Our friends over at Billy Jealousy just launched a new shampoo called Fuzzy Logic. Sure, it's not exactly shaving-related, but it is a new product from a company which makes one of our favorite shaving creams. So you should know. And now you do.
Keep your hair and your cool. Protect yourself with Fuzzy Logic, an advanced peppermint shampoo formula fortified with DHT blocking agents, fighting hair loss at its roots. Clear in color, Fuzzy Logic will protect your magnificent mane of hair, allowing you to focus more on getting looks for the right reasons.
Don't be fooled by the tag-line - "fighting hair loss at it's roots". This shampoo is for all men - from bushy Chia head to bowling ball. Well, maybe not bowling ball men. But all fuzzy men.
