Pine trees in a shaving gel?
« on: April 30, 2007, 07:50:40 AM »
Out of the flood, but still flooded with lay-days, Noner is back with another product review.

The Journey:
I was in Bath and Body Works with my lay-day because she had to buy something for a girly shower and saw some hot looking sales girls, so I decided to check the store out with her. (Hey just because I already have dinner, doesn’t mean I can’t still look at the menu)

The Selection:
After the olfactory overdose of fun-fruit and vanilla, I came across a small men’s section in the store. Hoping to find a mango-guava-orange-berry-sickle-passion cologne for myself, I came across a few shaving products. I picked up the Bath & Body Works Men's Anti-Bacterial Shave Gel and looked at the back of it. It has all kinds of natural things in it such as tea-leaves, aloe and vitamin E. But one thing stuck me as an odd ingredient, Pine Tree extract. Pine trees in a shaving gel? I gotta try this. I picked up the Mountain Frost flavor because I like the mountains and frosty beer mugs, so it was a good fit.

The Trial:
For the first shave with the new Gel, I picked the Fusion razor. The shave was not a smooth as I had hoped. I wasn’t that I nicked myself, but that it felt like I couldn’t get enough glide across my noggin. It would almost stop, mid-stroke. I had to keep adding water or gel to try and get the right mixture to finish the shave. It worked much better on my face, than on my head and it did not give me any irritation on my neck.

The Review:
Overall this product is great for a face shave, but for heads, I would leave this on the shelf. After shaving, my head did feel refreshed, similar to the menthol feeling for “Head Lube” and my skin was not dry or irritated. But the extra time it took to shave was very annoying because of the water/gel mixture game and not wanting to cut my self by getting stuck on non lubricated skin. (Probably the pine trees. That sap in nasty if you get in on your fingers)

The Conclusion:
If you know a face shaver, I would recommend this product, but for the Sly Bald Guys, stick with what you already use.

Noner, you sly dog you.  Checking out the sales girls.   >:D  That's all good.  That's the only reason I agree to go into those kinds of places with my wife.   >:D  Thanks for the review though.  I think I'll do as you said and leave that one alone.  One good point to the product though would be that it can double as an air freshener.   ;D :D ;D

Another comical, yet informative review by Noner.

I've learned to tag along with my wife to certain stores knowing that there would be some eye candy there.  What else am I going to look at when she's trying stuff on?
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Have to give that a try,
while my wife is at another store in the mall.

And Noner, I have that B & B Shave Gel.
Also use B & B's "Refreshing" Shower Gel.
This product has "tea tree oil"  and aloe, so it soothes the scalp after a close headshave. It's "Good stuff".

I'm gonna warn against my fellow sly bros using ANYTHING with tea tree oil in it, Google some keywords tea tree oil and male breast tissue. Apparently it was recently discovered that in young males tea tree oil can cause development of breast tissue in dudes. Not a risk I wanna take.
