Title: Le Secret Shave est arrivé!
Post by: Chavster on October 01, 2011, 02:43:42 PM
So my bottle of Secret Shave arrived today, all the way from North Caalaana, USA

Any special tips on how to use it, or should I just follow the instructions?

I believe the instructions say 2-3 drops and nothing else is needed.  For me, I've found a wet, showered and loofha'd scalp works best rubbing 6-7 drops in then putting my Headslick and brush to work--the SS makes the blade just float on the skin wacking the H out of the stubble, and oh, so smooth O0

Whats Headslick, the shaving cream? I have some of that I think.

I thought it was interesting that on the packaging, it says that if there's any razor tug (or whatever its called), you should add more water, and not more HS. I think they might be talking themselves out of some extra revenue there :D

HeadSlick is indeed a shaving cream. Works very well on my dome.

Thanks. I have a little bottle of that here somewhere. Its probably in my 'I hate this crap' cupboard. I'll dig it out and try again :)

Can't understand how you can hate HeadSlick ? Just about the best for head shaving. :)

Well, 'hate' might be a little strong, but I deeply dislike anything that I think is overpriced and overhyped. IMO, its no better but far more expensive than other products out there.

OMG, I'm completely amazed :o

I just used Secret Shave, and it has to be said...its EXCELLENT! In fact, its 'awesome' :o

I could really feel a difference as the razor was working its way across my skin. No drag at all, and my head is REALLY smooth.

AWESOME, DUDE!

I used it on my face too and it worked just as well. I'm not keen on the smell - it reminds me of 5 weeks I spent in Dallas with a girl called Ingrid (you dont want to know) - but apart from that, its AWESOME! :o

p.s. can anyone mail me 50 bottles of it? :D

Yup O0, only thing that surprizes me about SS is that Wal-Mart is the only place around here that I have found it.  I've tried other "shaving oils" but they really don't measure up for price and quality like  SS.

Well I wish I could buy it here, but its totally unknown on this side of the planet. I think I'll have to fill my case with it when I get to Vegas in December :D

Secret shave is great stuff. I have used it and it works great with head slick. Rub the 3 or 4 drops of secret shave on your head first.

I have found that if you add a little water to head slick, it makes a better lather. I use a brush too which works much better.

I let my shaving brush run under hot water for a couple of minutes and then let the excess water drip out of it before applying the head slick.

It seemed to work really well on its own. Its been a few hours since I used it, and my head is starting to feel like it needs another shaving session :) but it certainly worked well. The feeling on my skin was very noticable.

Hey Chav, I bought some today and tried it tonight. Rubbed it in as directed and then applied some Burt's Bees and got a hellova good shave, even with a semi-dull blade. I think you picked a real winner. Thanx!

Pleased you like it :) Im definitely impressed with it. I'd go so far as to say its better than any other product I've used.

It's a small bottle of light oil with a fragrance of clove. You wet the head and then apply about 5 drops of the oil in your hands and then rub it all over your head. Then you can apply your gel or soap and you get a much improved shave...eliminates some of the problems, too. I think it's sold in most big box stores in the US. Good luck. http://www.shavesecret.com/

Thank you bro. I have used baby oil in the past and it leaves a great shine, but also a very oily head. Does Shave Secret absorb well and dry into the skin?
Title: Re: Le Secret Shave est arrivé!
Post by: Chavster on October 11, 2011, 01:51:34 PM
There's no oiliness with Shave Secret at all, at least in my opinion. You use such a tiny amount, maybe 5 drops, that you hardly even know you have it on your head, and after shaving, there's no need to rinse because the shaving process removes it all.

Title: Re: Le Secret Shave est arrivé!
Post by: Slynito on October 11, 2011, 03:41:06 PM
The oil shaves off and washes off...smells good too. I'm going to use a few drops tomorrow morning before using my Panny to shave. iVamos aver! (We'll see!)

Im not sure I'm in love with the smell of it but I certainly dont think any shaving oil or cream/gel does a better job.

The smell kind of reminds me of apple pie, or Christmas pudding.
Title: Re: Le Secret Shave est arrivé!
Post by: Slynito on October 12, 2011, 11:20:30 AM
Yea it's clove oil...this morning I washed my head and left it wet. I rubbed on 5 drops of Shave Secret and shaved with my Panasonic. It was a pretty decent shave in five minutes.

I used my Panasonic on Friday. My head felt like it had been rubbed to death with a coconut shell.

There's nothing like a sharp razor :D

Oil of cloves is an ingredient I think.
