Much to my husband's delight I was sent some products from The Gentry Grooming Co for him to try. He was a bit concerned when he saw the products as he has been using an electric shaver for years. I briefed him as to what I needed him to do for this review and off he went to try them out.
What they say......
Achieve professional results at home with THE SHAVE CREAM (100ml), £12.95 from The Essentials Range. This super rich formula ensures a closer and more comfortable shave, protecting the skin from irritations caused by daily shaving, such as nicks, razor bumps and in-growing hairs. Infused with Black Pepper & Mint, this luxurious shave cream will make your daily shave ritual an invigorating experience. Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Wheat Germ Oil, Silk and Vitamin E soften and soothe the skin. Shaving will never have felt so good!
What he said.....
Typical man, he used way too much of the shaving cream initially, he said that the cream felt more like a moisturiser than a shaving cream, much nicer than the canned mousse he used the last time he used a razor. The razor glided over his face and resulted in the closest, cleanest shave he'd had for years. He liked the consistency of the shave cream and loved the smell of the mint.
What they say....
For the ultimate post shave treat, indulge in THE FACE BALM (100ml), £14.95 from The Essentials Range. Infused with Black Pepper & Mint, this light hydrating moisturiser is easily absorbed into the skin and contains a UV filter to protect the skin against free radical damage, helping to prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Nourishing Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Wheat Germ Oil and Ceramides leave skin feeling soft and supple.
What he said........
He absolutely loved the face balm. He said it felt nice and cooling on the face after the shave, it sank into the skin very easily and his skin felt hydrated all day. He loved the masculine fresh mint smell of the balm and has become slightly addicted to it. I know this because he is getting up a bit earlier so that he can wet shave rather than use his electric shaver in the car on the way to work!!
What I say......
My husband is a man a few words, he tends to just roll his eyes at me if I am raving about a product. He is not very often impressed by products and I am lucky to get a 'yes, it's alright but I wouldn't go and buy it' out of him. However, I can tell he actually loves these products as when he comes downstairs in the morning he insists that we 'rub faces' so that I can feel how smooth his skin is. He has also wondered if the products will last him until Father's Day and has asked me to suggest to our children that if they are wondering what to buy him he would quite like some more of these products.
So ladies if your man is like mine and not really into skincare, then I recommend you treat him to something from The Gentry Grooming Co and who knows, there maybe some 'face rubbing' going on in your kitchen too!!
