The Bluebeards Revenge & Their Perfect Shave

By Adam Tuesday 18th Mar, 2014

Dapper Chapper were sent some products from Bluebeards Revenge.  In honesty, we knew of the brand but none of our writers had used the products before, but we weren’t let down.  If you are used to using Men Expert or other mainstream grooming products we urge you to give these guys a try because Bluebeards are producing high-end products at affordable prices, perfect for the every day Dapper Chapper

We asked them to talk us through the Perfect Shave:

A perfect shave is as much in the preparation as in the act itself, so soak a shaving towel in hot water and hold it against the target area for a few minutes to soften the skin and open the pores. Next, apply a light layer of a good shaving oil, which will further toughen up that tough stubble and make your shave.

Before you start, it’s imperative that you make sure that you’ve got the right equipment to hand, so if you’re a wet shaving beginner then start with a shavette razor. Similar to a straight or cut-throat razor, this one takes disposable blades, making it a cheaper and easier to look-after option for anyone keen to learn the technique first.

Apply your chosen shaving cream with a slightly damp shaving brush, working it up into a lather using a circular motion.

Now it’s time to reach for your razor. Holding it in your dominant hand, with your thumb underneath, stretch the skin until taut with your free hand. Hold the blade at a thirty degree angle to avoid any nasty cuts, and make short, even strokes in the direction of hair growth.

Once you’ve covered the whole area, you can rinse, re-lather and go in for round two, this time going against the grain to get that really close shave.

Nearly done, but not quite. After-care is another hugely important step which is often neglected by men who are short on time. The Bluebeards Revenge Cooling Moisturiser will soothe any redness in the skin, while the luxurious Post Shave Balm, containing Aloe vera and witch hazel, will nourish and calm.

Both our Shaving Cream and Post Shave Balm contain super-ingredient Decelerine, which slows down the rate of hair regrowth, keeping you smoother for longer.

Product Test One: The Shaving Solution is a masterpiece of production and brings together ingredients which provide a slippery texture that ensure the “glide” which allows the razor to move effortlessly across the face without snagging, with a clever gelling agent that acts as the “cushion” so the razor blade is allowed just enough (but not too much) contact with the face. The exact combination of these two elements provides for a smooth, painless shave.

The product also contains Decelerine – an ingredient present in the brand’s shaving cream and post shave balm. This patented compound serves to reduce the appearance of beard growth over time and also moisturises and protects the skin during and after the shave.

The Shaving Solution, which does not contain any Parabens or SLS products, is easy to use. One stroke of the pump should produce enough product for a man to lightly coat his face. The product will refresh itself with the application of a little water to the face if a second pass is preferred.

Product Test Two: The Bluebeards Revenge Cooling Moisturiser

This cooling moisturiser contains all the latest ingredients to soothe and re-invigorate the skin. Remember guys, only real men moisturise.

The Bluebeards Revenge is on a mission to convince the men of the world to “man up and moisturise”!

The Bluebeards Revenge ‘Cooling’ Moisturiser brings it’s typical semi-macho style into the equation with this new product featuring what they describe as the “manliest of ingredients” – in fact, who else could get away with creating a modern cosmetic laced with exotic compounds such as extracts of Prickly Pear, Stinging Nettle and Fenugreek! Not as vicious as they sound in fact as each of these compounds are highly regarded for their moisturising qualities and ability to re-invigorate the skin.
