How Mixing Brands Can Produce A Luxurious Shave


The above headline was not intended to encourage you to have a few drinks prior to shaving. Alcohol, sharp blades, blurred vision. Ummm, yeaaah… not such a great idea.

Instead, our header was designed to extol the virtues of “shaving cocktails,” formulas mixing shaving products from different brands. The Grooming Lounge has been researching these recipes for months, mixing a dab of this and that to determine the product combinations that lead to the most comfortable shave.
The results and our recommendations are below (please note these concoctions have changed slightly since this story first published): 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SENSITIVE SKIN FORMULA 
Some guys are a little more sensitive than others. Those who suffer from razor burn, bumps and irritation should try the following:

Necessary Ingredients: Jack Black Beard Lube, Zirh Prepare, Zirh Soothe

1. Apply Jack Black Beard Lube to warm/wet face
2. Rub a few drops of Zirh Prepare into face
3. Wait 15 seconds and splash a little warm water on face
4. Re-apply Jack Black Beard Lube on top of Zirh Prepare
5. Shave (for sticky spots, reactivate shave products with a spritz of water)
6. Post Shave, rinse face with cold water and generously apply Zirh Soothe

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEAVY BEARD FORMULA
If your beard is thicker than Mike Tyson’s rap sheet, try the following:

Necessary Ingredients: Anthony Logistics Pre-Shave Oil, Molton Brown Supershave Olibanum, Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel

1. Aggressively rub Anthony Logistics Pre-Shave Oil into beard
2. Let oil absorb for 30 seconds and splash a little warm water on face
3. Using circular motions, apply Molton Brown Supershave Olibanum
4. Shave, rinsing blade often
5. Post shave, rinse face with lukewarm and then cool water
6. Apply Jack Black Post Shave Cooling Gel

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GOATEE/FOAM-FREE FORMULA
The key to keeping your goatee even is being able to see it when you shave. Think see-through products and try the following:

Necessary Ingredients: Sharps Kid Glove Shave Gel, Ted Baker Shave Oil, Zirh Soothe

1. Place a quarter-sized amount of Sharps Kid Glove Shave Gel in palm
2. Squirt two drops of Ted Baker Shave Oil in palm as well
3. Apply mixture of two products to warm, wet face
4. Shave straight
5. Generously slather on Zirh Soothe
