A Shaving Cream that reduces stubble?
I’ve just started trying out a new shaving cream called Bluebeard’s Revenge and, while I’d usually try it out for a few weeks first, I thought i’d report it on SCforM a bit early because it’s an interesting idea. Designed by a real life Blue Beard who was bored to death with being a Desperate [...]
Everybody should own… Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid
I’ve recommended the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid hundreds of times over on my blog (and through emails) and I’ve just realised I haven’t ever reviewed it properly! Fixing that now. What is it? Exfoliate deep within the pore and fight stubborn blemishes and blackheads with this clear liquid with 2% salicylic acid (BHA). Also [...]

Speed Reviews #2
No intro needed this time, let’s get right to it! Today we’re talking shaving, sunscreen, moisturisers and masques… First up is the very clever, Eyre Biobotanics Deep Cleansing Mineral Mud Mask. It’s a dual-chambered facial mask; one half a de-clogging mud mask and the other half a deeply hydrating one. Most people don’t have dry [...]
Grooming – Don Draper Style
Okay, I’m not going to lie, I tried watching Mad Men but gave up a few episodes in. Does it get any better? Plot aside, this is obviously a very well-styled piece of television and has ushered in an age of 60s throwbacks in tv, fashion, music and just about everything else that’s image-related. So [...]

Highly recommended – La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
So a few weeks ago I came across an amazing product that’s pretty much a must-try for a broad range of skin-types and issues. It’s called Effaclar Duo by the french skincare brand La Roche Posay: EFFACLAR DUO is a complete skincare solution that combines 4 active ingredients to act on the 2 major signs [...]
Shaving Oil – Anthony Logistics vs. King of Shaves
Time for a quick showdown between two (heavily used, as you can see!) shaving oils I keep nearby at all times. First up is one from King of Shaves and the second is from Anthony Logistics. With a price difference of around £15 (depending on where you shop) – I thought it’d be a good [...]
Electric shavers: A guide for beginners.
I’ve never used an electric shaver myself and must admit I was under the illusion that they’re slightly outdated and basically hair trimmers you use on your face. Turns out I was wrong on both counts! Electric shavers provide a convenient way to get a decent shave or even a great shave if you have [...]
Safety and cut throat razors – Are they worth trying?
So you might know that, despite being happy with my Azor, i’ve been toying with the idea of trying a double-edge safety razor for a while now. Well hopefully i’ll be trying one out next week and i’ll be able to write up a diary to document my experiences with it. I’ll test it out [...]
Review – Azor M Alloy System Razor
I’m a convert. If you’re familiar with my posts you’ll know how much I HATED the regular Azor, the ‘Hybrid Synergy System Razor’ (rolls of your tongue, right?). I thought it was flimsy, cheap and worse of all it completely shredded up my face. I was certain I’d never use an Azor razor again. Now [...]
