A Shave as Smooth as a Baby's Bottom
If there's one thing I've learned in my lifetime, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Some people really do just want to give without expecting anything in return.
A couple of days after I posted my quick article (and I do mean quick) on dandruff, Tony of Modern Gent sent me a message from my contact page offering to send me some Ultra Shave with his compliments. See? I'm not full of shiitake when I tell you how to climb the SERPS quickly. Tony wouldn't have found my article without digging through pages and pages of whatever search engine he used otherwise. That is, of course, unless he was already a frequent visitor (which I doubt).
After exchanging a few email messages (because I didn't want him spending a small fortune sending a package from the UK to the Philippines), he wrangled my mailing address out of me. In some of those messages, I learned enough about the product that I couldn't wait to try it out. As I informed Tony by email, the package arrived via registered mail yesterday. I had to go to the local post office and sign my life away in blood for something the notification card didn't specify. In other words, it came much sooner than expected (less than a month), and I didn't know for sure what the package was until I went to the post office to pick it up.
Ultra Shave isn't your run-of-the-mill shaving cream. In fact, it's more like a super shaving moisturizer. I tested it a few of hours ago, both for the shave and for the unusual side effect. You see, this was tested by the soldiers deployed over in Afghanistan. Not only did it provide a shave as smooth as a baby's bottom (although why anyone would want to check a baby's bottom is beyond me), it also kept the mosquitoes from latching onto their facial skin. I can attest to the smooth shave, a shave smoother than I've had in years. The cream kind of reminds me of the kind barbers used to use, but without the lather. This stuff doesn't lather up and it isn't supposed to, so make sure you read the directions if you use it.
I can also attest to the fact that not a single ninja mosquito attacked my face while I was walking around outside earlier, although one got me on my left arm and one on my right leg (I'm wearing shorts). That particular side effect can't be patented, though, any more than Avon can patent their original "Skin So Soft" product as being able to keep off chiggers (what they call harvest mites in the eastern US). So… the shaving cream actually has 3 uses:
- Shaving Cream
- Facial Moisturizer
- Mosquito Repellent (no claim of that)
Before anyone questions me about it, I was NOT compensated for this article in any way (unless you call a gift compensation in which case, feel free to start sending me some really expensive gifts). I'm merely reporting my experience with a product (and surreptitiously embedding a whole bunch of internal links). If you spot this, Tony, thanks for the Ultra Shave and thanks for a shave as smooth as a baby's bottom.

Now I would be interested in such a product. I keep getting a small, but irritating stubble a couple of days after a shave

Well, I hate shaving. I hate the stubble even worse. This will make it easier.
How cool RT. I watch my husband shave all the time. I don't think he cares for it much. I'll give this a try. Might help.
Oh, I fixed the award you gave me proper. It now links back to this site. Sorry, I must have had my head…well, you know. Have a great day.

I get so many links from you, Sandee, I didn't and wouldn't have noticed.
I gave up shaving years ago. I prefer to have a full beard and I do some trimming every two weeks or so.

Dear Sir,
I read through the article with great satisfaction. We truly need products with such value . I really wish to someday be opportune to introduce Ultra Shave to my community.
Thanks and hope to read more

This makes me want to go back to the old way of a nice hog's hair shaving brush, mug, and cutthroat razor. The Zen of shaving – it's a ritual, like making tea, and to be cherished for the skill and art involved!
P.S. do you get a trackback from BZ?

I sometimes get trackbacks from BZ, but not always. The trackback validation plugin probably blocks it most of the time. I may have to do something about that.
I don't either. I was trying to figure what's going on by looking at some zoomed submissions, and it seems to vary site to site.

Hi,
sounds like a good product, does it have a nice smell?
I mostly prefer the clean shaven feel, i shave about every second day.
so it also keeps the mossi's away too hey now that would be good because there are plenty here in the summer time.

I didn't notice the smell, to be honest. It doesn't smell bad or I would have noticed.
Great review! As a head shaver and someone who runs a head shaving website, I'd love to give this a try! Do you know if it's offered in the U.S. at all? If not, maybe I can have one of our UK contingent send me some.
Tony just recently shipped me some from within the U.S., so it must be available here. Do a web search for ultra shave and you can probably find out where it's carried.
Nothing can beat a good straight edge blade.
Men usually ignore their skins. I know I'm guilty of the same. Up till last year, I've been using an electric razor that from what I understand does not help in keeping your skin exfoliated and smooth. So now I've been using regular razors and, I think, I feel the difference. My fiancee in the meantime is a stickler when it comes to her skin care. She doesn't miss a day without applying her favorite Clarins cream.
yeah, i tried it… it is nice but its smell not good for me:)
Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try this.

As most men I don't use too many skin care stuff but what I really like is the dead sea premium moisturizers and their mud. Very good after shaving and for relaxing
We have many men come to our salon that have problems with skin rashes when they shave, this looks like a good moisturizer.
