The Art of Shaving ‘The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave – Lavender’ Kit

The Art of Shaving 'The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave - Lavender' Kit // Belle Belle Beauty

Just a quick break to talk about something for the guys today. And just in time for Valentine’s Day if you are still on the hunt for something for your guy. I had dad try out another Art of Shaving Kit and wanted to share some of his thoughts (Ocean Kelp reviewed here).

These kits contain full-size containers of the following, designed for the four “Elements” of shaving:

  • Pre-Shave Gel
  • Shaving Cream
  • Pure Badger Black Shaving Brush
  • After-Shave Lotion

This time around, he tested the Lavender Kit. I was a little hesitant to ask him to try something with such a feminine sounding fragrance. But he was game to give it a whirl. Turns out there was nothing to fear because the Lavender is “great with a manly-man aroma.” Good to know!

Dad points out the experience is like taking shaving to the next level. The “Elements” all add to comfort and performance. The Pre-Shave Gel “made the razor glide right over skin instead of how the razor usually lightly drags.” The Shaving Cream is smoother and more luxurious than his beloved drugstore brand. While I don’t think he uses the Badger Brush every day, it is a little classy addition. Last, he particularly appreciated the After-Shave Lotion. “It has been so dry here that I have added moisturizer to my face during the day on many days.  Not today – I really think that the Art of Shaving kept me comfortable all day.”

 So, ladies… there you go. It has the seal of approval. And I think I got Dad hooked 🙂

Art of Shaving: The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave – Ocean Kelp

I am proud to announce that over here on Belle Belle, we are going to start including some men’s products. I mean, guys should look good too, right? Hope you are as excited as I am. Often, men are interested in products but don’t enjoy the hunt and research as much as we do. So, I have enlisted the help of Beau Beau, my male counterpart, as chief guinea pig.

Even us girls can appreciate a good shave. And it really is the center point of a man’s “beauty” routine. The Art of Shaving has crafted these sets of four “Elements” – they are true masculine luxury. The set contains full-size:

  • Pre-Shave Gel
  • Shaving Cream
  • Pure Badger Black Shaving Brush
  • After-Shave Lotion

There are various scents, but in honor of this last burst of summer heat, we picked Ocean Kelp. The fragrance is refreshing and pleasant and the kelp and oils help sooth skin. The four steps can help prevent razor brun and ingrown hairs. The Pre-Shave Gel softens and preps skin. The Shaving Cream is formulated with glycerin to hydrate hair and improve razor glide. And the badger brush distributes the cream like we never knew possible. And finish it off with the After-Shave lotion for hydration.

Beau Beau reports “it makes shaving an event” and adds “more than a couple notches to the quality ladder” over regular drugstore shaving cream. And with the upcoming holidays, he points out “it is a thoughtful gift.”

So, what do you guys think of some added men’s goodies on Belle Belle for our men?
