After reading a few posts by our fearless leader Tyler, I had to try some of the Tolsom line myself to see if it is as good as he says. Here is my review of these products.
Tolsom Facial Cleansing Foam
I used this product for about two weeks to form an honest opinion of it. I used it both in the shower and at the sink. It is milky white when it comes out of the tube. I quickly discovered that a little goes a long way. There is a fragrance to it but it is mild and inoffensive and is gone when you rinse. The "Cleansing Beads" feel really good on the skin. I also liked that it rinsed off very easily and left no oily residual. The Facial scrub was gentle enough to use everyday with no irritation.
Likes:
It has a very mild fragrance that doesn't linger
A little goes a long way
Rinses easily off the skin.
I have been able to use it everyday without irritation.
Provided a good pre-shave head/face wash (skin feels really clean)
Dislikes:
The price $20 USD (online) for 4.4 fl. ounces
After about a week of use, I noticed I was getting pimples on my neck and cheeks.
In all, a good high end product. Caused no skin irritation with daily use, left my skin feeling soft and clean but didn't protect me from getting pimples. 3 out of 5 stars.
Tolsom Skin Protective Lotion with SPF 15
I used this after my shave and after applying Witch Hazel (my aftershave of choice). This product is also milky white out of the tube. It has a mild, inoffensive citrus fragrance that quickly dissipates after applying. As with the facial foam, a little goes a long way. It soaks in quickly, cools the skin when applied and leaves the skin feeling moisturized and not oily.
Likes:
Mild citrus fragrance that doesn't linger.
A little goes a long way.
Cools the skin when applying
Not oily
After daily use the skin on my head is well moisturized and seems to
almost glow.
Dislikes:
Price (again) $34 USD (online) for 3.4 fl oz.
Really no other dislikes other than the price tag. I would certainly buy this product again if a cheaper alternative can't be found. 4 out of 5 stars.
I hope someone finds these reviews helpful in their quest for the perfect head-shave.
sincerely,
Ken
