Tend Skin: In-Growing Hair Solution review

Greg — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 10:13:36 +0000

I believe there’s no product like Tend Skin In-Growing Hair Solution anywhere! Tend Skin Solution is a proven and effective treatment for issues such as razor bumps and ingrown hairs (you can also read my post about Dealing with ingrown hairs). Razor bumps are created when the growing hairs exit the skin, curl over and burrow into the adjacent skin. This creates a foreign body reaction resulting in an unsightly bump. Ingrown hairs form when hairs, growing back after shaving, fail to grow out of the skin. The hairs curl over inside the follicles under the skin. The inflammation in the follicle then creates a red, sore spot on the skin.

Tend Skin In-Growing Hair Solution Reviews:

5 Stars: “After spending a fortune on skin care products and treatments with the pain etc that follows, I didn’t get the result I would have liked. I accidentally searched for help on the Internet and Tend Skin came up. I was sceptical at first but after after a few days the bumps and lumps were gone. It’s the best product I have used. Thank you from a very happy Norwegian customer.”

5 Stars: “Worked very quickly to reduce the inflammation associated with in growing facial hair and razor bumps. Some two weeks later they have almost cleared up entirely, MIRACLE STUFF!”

5 Stars: “After being troubled with razor rash and in growing hairs for years, this stuff really works!! smells a bit strong at first, but my problem cleared up with 3/4 days. If you have problems with razor bumps, in growing hairs etc, this product is worth every penny!!”

Greg — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:58:52 +0000

Did you know that GQ Magazine has given the GQ Magazine Grooming Awards for the Best Electric Shaver to the Braun Series 7 Shaver? In the shaving category, five shavers were selected by GQ Magazine to be compared head to head, judged on the basis of functionality, design, ease of use and overall appeal. After tough testing, the top of the range Braun Series 7 electric razor knocked out the competition to receive the title of Best In Tools – Shaver. This award joins the list of great accomplishment for the famed Braun Series 7 electric razor, also known as being the cutting edge of technology and one step ahead of its counterparts, ans it’s design makes it stand out with its elegant silver and chrome finish and sleek lines, setting a new standard.

GQ Magazine Grooming Awards for the Best Electric Shaver to the Braun Series 7 Shaver

The Braun Series 7 features a dynamic shaver head, producing thousands of micro vibrations that help capture more hairs in fewer strokes for Braun’s most thorough shave ever. Also including a revolutionary Fast Clean feature, the patented Clean&Renew system which makes the Braun Series 7 the world’s most intelligent electric shaver.

Omar Saheb, Brand Manager, Braun Male Grooming, AP: “Winning the GQ Magazine Grooming Award for best shaver is a great honour for all of us at Braun. We firmly believe that we have created the best shaver we can with the technology available to us at this time. This award reaffirms that thought and pushes us to continue the great work to keep developing the best shavers we can for our valued consumers.“

“hacked” Cassie nude pics: no, Cassie shaved her head

Greg — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:51:43 +0000

With the exception of the surprising release of those “hacked” Cassie nude pics, this is the most shocking thing she has done… Cassie shaved her head recently, it didn’t feel like Britney Spears bald, simply because Britney Spears was really insane at the time! Cassie shaving one side of her head was meant, she “Twittered“, to be seen as “Something that will shock your mother, but make her call you a ROCK STAR“.

She even makes sure it looks freshly shorn at all times: “I get it touched up by a barber every three days”, Cassie recently told Women’s Wear Daily.

Do you think she looks better now our before? You’re the only judge

Wilkinson Sword: from swords to razors

Greg — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:41:46 +0000

Wilkinson Sword

Today, I like to write a post about a great razor company: Wilkinson Sword. Wilkinson Sword, founded in London in 1772, was first manufacturing swords, and then started to produce different kind of gardening tools and shaving accessories like razors and razor blades. Wilkinson Sword has also manufactured in the past guns, bayonets, and other objects such as typewriters, garden shears, scissors, and motorcycles. Wilkinson Sword has manufactured all its ranges of products in three UK sites over its history: in Chelsea and Acton next to London, Cramlington in Northumberland and Bridgend in Wales, where they made gardening tools. In 2000, an executive decision was made to close its razor plant in the UK and consolidated its growing production in Germany.

Wilkinson Sword is owned by Energizer Holdings who bought the Company from Pfizer in 2003, and Proctor and Gamble - Gillette (not held in Europe or North America). The company produces a four-blade razor that is marketed under the Wilkinson Sword brand in Europe and the Schick brand in North America and Australia.

Schick: Wilkinson Sword in North America and Australia

At the origine of shaving with disposable razor blades, Wilkinson Sword introduced the stainless steel blade. With a little care a single double edged blade would last for weeks, comparing to Gillette blades which lasted only a few days. It wasn’t long before all other shaving blade manufacturers had to follow.
