Here are the details about shaving products, including their positive and negative aspects, ingredients, and materials:
Bevel Razor System
- Positive: The head design is engineered so that it is almost impossible to get an asymmetric exposure off each side of the blade. The kit includes a pure-grade badger shaving brush, a bottle of “priming oil,” a tube of shave cream, a bottle of aftershave, and a pack of razors. The “Priming Oil“* seems to do its job without fuss. The aftershave (“Restoring Balm“*) is quite good–moisturizing without being greasy–and contains a bit of menthol for a mild cooling effect.
- Negative: The shave cream is not luxurious and does not have a scent that is detectable with a poor sense of smell.
50 Count Double Edge Razor Blades
- Positive: The blades are sharp and precise, highest quality edging blades for a precise and clean shave. The platinum coated, Japanese stainless steel blades guarantee a long-lasting razor. Each of the blades is individually wrapped in wax-paper for safer handling.
- Negative: The isopentane ingredient is a solvent that can cause headaches and nose/throat irritation, dry skin, dermatitis, and dizziness.
Leaf Shave
- Positive: The pivoting-head safety razor is 100 percent plastic-free, ships plastic-free, and uses cold forged steel blades that can be recycled as scrap metal. The company builds tools to shave anywhere, head to toe and in between.
- Negative: No negative aspects were found.
Shaving Cream Ingredients
- Negative: Many shaving creams and gels on the market contain harmful chemical compounds and ingredients that can cause dry skin, impaired hair growth, and rashes. Examples of these ingredients include Triethanolamine (TEA), Palmitic acid, Isopentane, and Glycols (propylene, butylene, and ethylene).
Dollar Shave Club, Harrys, and Gillette
- Positive: Dollar Shave Club offers a four-blade shave that is good. Gillettes six-blade system is well-constructed and solid and has a sixth blade on the end that is great for getting those frustrating little whiskers around your nose.
- Negative: Harrys five-blade system felt cheap, and the handle is plastic and super light. The foam was disliked, and the shave was a lousy experience overall. Gillettes prices are high, and their five-blade system felt cheap.
