Manly Shaves with Maca

modern-gent-mens-shaving-kit_l

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I rarely shave my face. Aside from the fact that I look like a 15 year old without any stubble, the clean face is not worth the irritation I get from shaving. I know a lot of men feel this way. Here is a solution, the Modern Gent’s Shave Kit from The Body Shop. The kit features: Maca Root Shave Cream, Razor Relief and a badger brush. The maca root shave cream is rich and thick with a fresh modern scent. It takes just a dab with your brush to become a rich lather. Be sure to use the brush. I am always amazed that some men shave with out the brush – it helps to lift the hairs and in turn give you a closer shave. The shave relief soothes and never stings.

Follow the best practices below and you will love the close shave results.

  1.  Prep face with hot water soaked towel -as hot as tolerable. Leave on for 15-30 seconds. This will soften the hairs.
  2. Apply Maca Root shaving cream with Silver Tip Badger brush. It should lather nicely. This will raise the hair.
  3. Change faucet water so that it is cool-to-cold (NOT hot!).
  4. Shave as you normally do, rinsing blade after every 1-3 strokes as needed.
  5. Finish with the Shave Relief.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.
