Customer Reviews of The Art of Shaving After-Shave Balm, Unscented, for Sensitive Skin, 3.4 fl oz (125 ml)
Customer Review: Don't fear the razor!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm cursed with sensitive skin and a rough beard that make shaving a struggle. Years ago I settled on a combination of Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, Kiss My Face Moisture Shave, and Clean&Clear Dual Action moisturizer to protect my face. They were adequate, but in various men's magazines I kept reading about the virtues of the Art of Shaving and Jack Black men's grooming products. So after dealing with a spate of ingrown hairs and an unsuccessful experiment with a thermal pre-shave scrub I decided to totally revamp the way I shave. Cut to about a month later and my face is the clearest and smoothest I've ever seen since I first put a razor to it.
My mother and I do a yearly shopping trip for our birthdays, and while buying her some gifts at Nordstrom I asked her to reciprocate with three Art of Shaving products for sensitive skin: the Art of Shaving Pre Shave Oil - UNSCENTED (2 oz), the Shaving Cream Unscented, and the Unscented After-Shave Balm. I also wanted a post-shave product with salicylic acid for acne, but I didn't see anything from Art of Shaving for that purpose. Then I noticed the Jack Black Clear Complexion Razor Bump and Acne Treatment 6 fl oz (177 ml)on the next shelf over and chose a bottle. Thus armed, I began using them as follows:
My last act in the shower is a quick facial cleanse with the Cetaphil. After rinsing and drying off, I re-moisten my mug at the sink with warm water and apply the Pre-Shave oil, which goes on smooth and feels good. Then I rub on a thin layer of the Shaving Cream with the same hand I used for the oil. After waiting for about 30 seconds I shave with the Gillette Fusion Proglide Power Razor, 1-count Package. Once done, I rinse with warm water, apply a small amount of Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer, Oil-Free, 4 fl oz (120 ml), and end my routine with a soothing and non-greasy application of the After-Shave Balm (As for the JB, I switched to using it on my scalp - I should have obeyed the directions to avoid using it right after shaving).
Issues? Well, I have two minor ones. First, the Art of Shaving and Jack Black products are not cheap - you'll have to decide whether or not your wallet is more delicate than your skin. Also, the Shaving Cream is somewhat thick and therefore has a tendency to clog up the razor blades. But my smooth skin and improved complexion make both of these dings negligible for me. After all, I only have one face and it ain't getting any younger, so why not treat it right? By the way, I also use the L'Oreal Men's Expert line on the upper part of my face to moisturize, firm, and protect my skin from the sun.
Of course, even after all of this my face isn't perfect. I'm not totally blemish-free, and I have a tendency to overuse the Fusion blades until they begin to nick my face. But I am truly impressed with the results of my new Art of Shaving regimen (augmented with the Cetaphil, Gillette, Clean & Clear, and L'Oreal items), and I plan to keep using their products from now on. Highly recommended, especially if your current shaving potions aren't cutting it anymore. As an FYI, the Art of Shaving and Jack Black websites have good information about general shaving and use of their products.
UPDATE 11/13/10: After posting this review I remembered that the Art of Shaving website mentioned their shaving cream can be "lathered up with a shaving brush or with fingers." So I mixed it with warm water, worked it between my hands, and indeed it went on lighter to the point where it no longer clogged my razor.
