Shaving Soap from Daybreak Lavender Farm
I've always shied away from shaving soaps, even though they have a cult following and are made by some of the top shaving companies. I think just the word 'soap' and the thought of a thin barrier on the skin between me and the razor, were partly to blame.
After a Cooking with Lavender Class held at Daybreak Boutique (side note: chocolate and lavender are amazing together!), I just had to pick up their handmade Wash & Shave Bar with Calming Lavender and Bentonite Clay for Smooth Shaving.
Shaving soaps should be used with a shaving brush to create a nice lather. I didn't have one, though it's on my list, so I tried it brushless. Even so, it worked really, really well. The soap provided a lot of slip, I got a pretty close shave and my skin felt really soft afterwards.
Their formula uses the oils of olive, coconut, palm and castor. Bentonite clay, also added, draws out toxins, is highly absorbent, and exfoliates, so it's great for oily skin and can also be used to cleanse with as well. This one includes lavender essential oil. For men, they make a shaving soap with sandalwood.
The bar is huge, which will surely last a long time. With any shaving soap, it needs to be placed on a draining soap dish so that it doesn't sit in water and wear down faster than necessary.
How to Remove Toe Hair Fast without Shaving
Resist the urge to use the razor a little lower and shave your toes, while you're shaving your legs. Since they're such small areas and the hair is usually sparse, it's extremely easy to wax or sugar your toes. And you don't even have to get a ton of supplies, or buy any products from the store necessarily.
To wax, it only takes a couple steps to remove the hair from the root. There's no heating up product or big mess if you use pre-made wax strips. On clean skin dab on some baby powder, apply a wax strip, rub your fingers over the strip a couple of times in the direction hair growth, hold skin taut and remove strip the opposite direction of hair growth. Use an unscented body oil to get rid of any stickiness.
To spend extra time but save money, make your own sugaring product at home. Try this homemade, natural recipe that simply calls for sugar, lemon juice and water. When finished, you can use it as a paste or a gel. How-to directions are at the end of the recipe. You'll notice how much longer waxing or sugaring last over shaving.

Remington i-Light Pro 6000 Reviews
When I began writing for this Site in 2008, home laser and IPL hair removal products were just making their way onto the scene. Not only have many products launched, they've been updated, created a family of systems and lowered prices along the way.
A name you already know, Remington, has an IPL (intense pulsed system) hair removal system called Remington i-Light Pro 6000 that's a bit newer on the scene here in the United States. We got our hands on two, so naturally we had two people test it out. See what they thought of the skin sensor, the pain, treatment times and what you're probably most interested in....how much hair it reduced. Check out the review.
As with all of our reviews, we love to hear your feedback and ratings. If you have used this system, please tell us about it right on the review page.

How to Wax Chest Hair at Home
Some guys leave it alone, other men trim- their chest that is. Then there are those out there that prefer the smooth look, especially if they have worked hard at the gym and want to show off those muscles. With a good razor and shaving cream, shaving is painless and easy. But it's very short-lived. Also because chest hair is often thick, men with dark hair can still see a 'shadow' of hair even after shaving.
Waxing, however removes the hair from the root. Not only is the hair gone for a couple of weeks when done correctly, a shadow isn't left.
If you don't want to pay for a professional wax, it can be done at home. But I can't say that it's going to be easy: How to Wax Chest.
Braun Cruzer 6 Body
Thirty years ago it would have been hard to imagine the average guy thinking about how to get rid of or groom his body hair. But now you'll find countless products and advice on how to do just that quickly and easily.
Braun Cruzer 6 Body is one of these products. But it is a bit different than most men's groomers. It has both a trimmer and manual razor, which are made to be used separately or together, by trimming hair down so that it can be shaved easily.
My assistant Nicole and her husband put this product to the test- in many ways. She even dropped in on the floor purposely to see if it would still work. Here's how they thought it performed and find out if it's still usable in: Braun Cruzer 6 Body Review.
Hair No More Reviews
Hair No More a two part system consisting of a hair removal cream (depilatory) and hair inhibitor in a mist or gel form. Their depilatory called Hair Vanish Cream works like a normal hair removal cream, where it's put on covering the hair for about 5 - 7 minutes or so and then wiped off. After the skin is dried, the hair inhibitor is immediately put on. According to their website it looks as if the inhibitor is to be applied twice per day the first week and then once per day thereafter which is supposed to reduce hair over time.
The system doesn't look like it's anything revolutionary. But because Hair No More (compare prices) is an As Seen on TV product, I have gotten some emails asking about it. Have you tried it? Tell us about your experience in the hair removal forum.
