Every man
knows the awkward moment when you go to have a shave and then you realise you
have no shaving foam, gel or cream!!! It is the worst thing and I know from
experience it is properly frustrating!
Luckily
this has only happened to me once, mainly because I swore to never let myself
be stuck with stubble ever again.
Choosing
shaving products can be tricky (look at older post on different types of
shaving products here) but I have found a wonderful collection of products in Uneeka Life
based in my hometown of Truro!
As well
as selling gorgeous lifestyle products for your home and having a superb little
café full of pretty good cake they also stock the premium quality men’s
grooming brand; D. R. Harris and Co Ltd . I have
been lucky enough to test the Arlington Shaving Cream as well as a new addition
to the range, the Windsor Shaving Cream.
Before I go into my reviews, I have to say that the packaging of the products is exquisite, they look like they could be pulled of the hit ITV show; Mr Selfridge!
Arlington Shaving Cream
Accordinfg the brands website, the
D. R. Harris Arlington Shaving Cream “is the very best 'Luxury Lather'
concentrated shaving cream” and I have to admit I have loved using it! The
product is really thick and is lightly fragranced with Arlington, a classic
blend of citrus and fern. Although the product does lather it is not
overly foaming which is nice as normally overly soapy or foamy products can dry
out the skin. This doesn’t, the cream formula hydrates the skin whilst you
shave.
Directions for use: Wet the beard
with warm water, apply the cream to the face with your fingers or a
brush and lather with warm water. This product can be used with
or without a brush. Shave as you normally would (for more advice on
shaving see my other post Smart Shaving)
Windsor Shaving Cream
The Windsor Shaving Cream is the latest addition to D. R. Harris’
extensive selection of shaving creams. Windsor is a fresh, complex fragrance,
which has overtones of citrus and grapefruit but with more matured undertones
of black pepper and vetiver (traditionally masculine yet refreshing zesty). The
formula, like the Arlington hydrates the skin providing a smooth smoooooth
shave. Follow the same directions
The D. R. Harris shaving creams are so hydrating due to the highly concentrated, glycerin enriched formulas. The added glycerin binds water to the skins surface
meaning you get a super hydrated shave. After using these creams my skin feels
so smooth with little razor burn. All D.R. Harris and Co Ltd shaving products
are available in a plastic jar (150g) priced at £16.50 or tube
(75g) for travel coming in at £9.85.
Both are available at Uneeka Life
right now!! Give them a like on Facebook now and pop into their shop on
Boscowan Street Truro for more lovely goodies and a spot of coffee and cake!
