The Clearasonic vibrating face brush gadget is a wonderful and efficient tool to get a deep clean of the skin (I might do a full review of it later).

My love for Dr Bronner’ 18-in-1 Organic Pure Castile Liquid Soap with Peppermint should be obvious from how often I use it as a preshave soap.

The two combined makes for a rather intense experience… not painful per see, but my face still tingles an hour after the incident.

Before you buy the latest and greatest…

…think carefully if you truly need it or not.

Advertisements and commercials – for shave gear as well as other things – only have power over you if you give it that power. By all means buy it if you want it, need it and can afford it – but don’t buy it because a commercial actor told you to.

It might just be me…

..but the grin on the guy in the old Listerine Shaving Cream advertisment screams “I was just thinkin’ about skinnin’ you like a deer!” and/or “I would wear your face like a mask as I do my little kooky dance!”.
