Title: Ward's Reviews - Bald Guyz Ultimate Shave Gel
Post by: rward086 on May 11, 2009, 09:13:04 PM
Certainly one of the powerhouses of headshaving and the top competitor to Headblade Headslick. Will this shave gel live up to it's expectations?

Ease of lathering: Gels are not really suppose to lather. You cannot whip up a lather of this gel in a shave mug very well. However, you can lather up a nice thin layer of lather directly on your head. This works quite well and allows you to wet your shave brush periodically to build your lather.

Life span of lather: This gel does crave water and certainly dries fairly quick. The positive part is that a little gel goes a long way. Sometimes I didn't even have to add gel during each pass; just a little water to my shave brush.

Moisturizing: I'd say slightly above average.

Lubrication: This is where the gel really shines. You are guaranteed a frictionless shave and your razor will glide over your dome with ease. I'd say this is a plus for the Headbladers out there.

How protective?: Here is the only downfall of this gel. If your are not careful you can get cut pretty easily. While a shave gel's properties lean towards a closer shave, it also opens up the risk for nicks and cuts.

Scent: Can't beat it. Citrusy and refreshing, but also pleasantly subtle. There is no way it can be offensive to anyone's smell preference.

Price: $6 is a fair price for the quality of this product. I'm also considering the discount us SLB get, which will certainly bump my rating up.

Would you buy again?: I most certainly will. I think Bald Guyz have spent a lot of time on this product and it shows. I don't think you'll find a better headshaving gel out there. I also keep a bottle stocked in my medicine cabinet to show my sly pride!  :@`

Hey Ryan,  if you think with this shave gel that your razor will glide with ease then
wait until you try adding a shaving oil under it and see what happens.
I use the kinexium shaving oil under the bald guyz shave gel and it's great!
Not only that but the kinexium shaving oil will give you the added protection you need.

I said on this forum that the Bald Guyz moisture gel is my favourite Bald Guyz item but after using a shaving oil under the shave gel I have changed my mind.  A shaving oil will make you love Bald Guyz Ultimate Shave Gel more.  :@`

Thanks for the advice. I often pair up Shave Secret or Hot Six with Bald Guyz Shave Gel. I've also combined Williams Shave Soap with BGSG with great success. My review however is based on the shaving gel's performance alone.

I should do a review on their moisture gel. You're right, that stuff is amazing!

I just started using Bald Guyz Shave Gel three days ago and all I can say is....YES!!!  This stuff rocks.  I am very impressed and very happy with the results.  I agree that it craves water, but that is okay with me.  I'm also anxious to try it with some oil.  I have never used shave oil before.

I'm sold on BG Shave Gel, for sure.
