This review is going to be a combined review, so you will see the same thing on 5 products. I use them in combination and feel they are connected.
This review is for:
Vikings Blade, Godfather
Shaveology Shaving Cream
Shaveology After Shave
Shaveology Pre-Shave oil
Feather, double Platinum blades
I have been using an electric shaver for almost 9 years now. I got tired of the expensive blades for disposables and fast and easy was good for me at the time. I had 3 different shavers over the years. The last one, I have had about 6 years. They changed the blades on them 2 or 3 years ago. I dint ind the change but it always felt like I could feel the blades scraping my skin each time. It also did not get very close of a shave. I had been thinking of changing to wet shaving for a long period of time. Well its time for a new cartridge ~100.00, so nows the time to switch.
I made the switch using a mail order service. After 4 shaves I hated it. The products were ok and were very citrus and refreshing but I did not like the razor itself and it was just not “there” So I ordered the Godfather blade by Viking. This thing is AMAZING! I love the weight to it, I feel like I’m holding something substantial and feel more confident its not going to slide out of my hands and slice my throat open. I also switched to Feather Blades. I figured if I want close and precise might as well go all in. I must confess, when I put on the feather blade, I had prepped towels for the presumes carnage, but there was none. The blades and this viking blade system, just floated over my skin and I could barely feel it doing anything, but it was! So I have very happy with the blades and the razor.
The Shaveology products are very nice. I LOVE the scent. Its very guy scented, almost cologne smelling and it just has such a great clean feeling without smelling too young and too old. (so hard to explain) but its great. The pre-shave oil is nice and thick and puts on a good layer. Letting it soak on for about 2-3 minutes while you prep the shave cream and your brush makes it better. The shave cream was weird for me as its a more dry cream and the last one I used was a little more wet. I did not use my bowl and instead put a little bit on the brush directly and applied it. It took about 15 seconds but started turning into such a creamy almost yogurt like consistency. It felt really nice!!! Shaving was very pleasant, as I mentioned above, its just super smooth and feels nice. The post shave balm is where its at though. I can’t say enough about this. The smell, the feel, and the feel on my face afterwards. I am still a noob at wet shaving this way so irritation is still present as I am getting the technique down pat. This soothes the face very well and leaves you refreshed.
Overall I love all of these products and would recommend any of them to anyone.
