Many years of poor practice have turned shaving into a banal chore as opposed to the pleasurable experience it should be. The shaving tips outlined below will help you to select the products you need and the techniques to be employed for the most comfortable shave possible.

Okay, here goes…… 

Firstly, you will need is a good quality razor! Whether you opt for a straight razor, a double edged safety razor or a Gillette razor, it is important to find a razor that you feel comfortable using, that has the correct weight and balance to stop you ‘dragging’ it across your face. If you choose a safety razor or Gillette razor, you must remember to change your blades regularly - blunt blades are a major cause of cuts, irritation and razor burn.

Once you have selected your razor, we recommend you follow these steps:

Step 1 - Prepare

It is very hard to achieve a comfortable shave if you do not prepare properly. The best time to shave is during, or just after a hot shower as the heat will soften the beard and open the pores. The use of an effective pre-shave oil will also lubricate the face and soften the beard further. This allows the razor to glide across the face, getting even closer to the skin allowing for smoother results.

Step 2 - Apply Shaving Cream/Soap

Using a soft shaving cream or a hard shave soap will moisturise, lubricate and nourish the face whilst shaving. The cream or soap should be applied using a shaving brush. Shaving brushes will lift each individual hair to ensure a smoother shave.

Step 3 - Shave

The best technique is to glide the razor over the skin whilst holding the skin taut with your free hand. We recommend that you shave with and then across the grain of the beard, but not necessarily against it (shaving against the grain is what causes ingrown hairs). For a smooth shave remember to never use a blunt razor - this can lead to razor burn and skin irritation.    

Step 4 - Soothe and Moisturise

After shaving, rinse your face with cold water to close the pores of the skin then pat dry. Some men will now choose the use a splash on aftershave product, however, it should be remembered that it is very important to use a soothing aftershave balm that will help to moisturise and aid the healing of the skin.

Tabac Original is a fragrance that was created by the Mäurer & Wirtz design house in 1959. Since the market launch, Tabac Original has been the most successful men’s fragrance on the German market. We at Executive Shaving have now added Tabac Original products to our already wide range of gentlemen’s shaving and grooming products.

Looking to begin straight razor shaving but not sure where to start? The Dovo Shavette Disposable Blade Straight Razor is a versatile yet affordable ‘relative’ of the traditional straight razor that is ideal as an introductory razor for newcomers to shaving with an open blade.

As the Dovo Shavette uses disposable stainless steel DE razor blades, this eliminates the need to buy a hone, strop and other accessories which are associated with straight razors, reducing the cost of starting straight razor shaving considerably and you don’t need to learn how to sharpen the blade either!

Using the light and agile Shavette by Dovo of Solingen allows you to get used to the angle and technique required for a comfortable straight razor shave. The small design of the Dovo Shavette also makes it easy to reach the hard to reach areas. In addition, the blade holder acts as a guard, preventing the leading corner of the blade nicking you - very useful for ‘newbies’ to open razor shaving!

Replacing the blades on the disposable blade razor couldn’t be easier either. Simply, slide out the red blade holder and insert half a double-edge safety razor blade into the holder, making sure it is held in place by the notches. Then, close the red holder and slide back into the Shavette (you should be able to see the very edge of the blade exposed from the razor). Ensure that the blade is aligned properly before shaving.

The Dovo Shavette is compatible with all DE safety razor blades including those by Merkur and Wilkinson Sword. Once you become more experienced, you may wish to try feather blades in your razor, although these can be very unforgiving!

At only £20.00, the Shavette comes with one disposable blade and a storage pouch making this a truly affordable way to get started with straight razor shaving.

Finding the right safety razor can be a challenge for many wet shavers. We, at Executive Shaving, would like to recommend to you the Parker 99R heavy duty butterfly safety razor - Parker’s eagerly anticipated version of the Merkur 38c barber pole safety razor.     

The Parker HD safety razor comes with a twist to open butterfly mechanism for easy blade replacement. Simply, twist the knob on the bottom of the razor to open the butterfly doors and replace the blade.

At approximately 59 grams in weight and 11 centimetres in length, the long, heavyweight handle on the Parker 99R heavy duty safety razor provides perfect balance and the knurling allows an excellent grip even when the fingers are wet.

Moreover, the brass made Parker 99R razor is chrome plated. Chrome has been used in the manufacture of this double edge safety razor not only for its superb corrosive resistance properties, but also for its rich silver mirror finish.

Compatible with all safety razor replacement blades including Merkur blades and Wilkinson Sword blades.

Arran Aromatics Luxury Shaving Gift Set 

 My ‘Shave Of The Day’ 

For my Monday – Friday favourite shave of the day, I use the following mens shaving kit:

• Castle Forbes Cedarwood and Sandalwood Shaving Cream
• Art of Shaving Pre-Shave oil
• Merkur of Solingen Futur Adjustable Safety Razor
• Rooney Best Badger Medium Shaving Brush
• Hugo Boss Aftershave
• Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum Splash
• Cyril R Salter Styptic Pencil
• Taylor of Old Bond Street Alum Bloc

Why am I telling you this? Because it’s a frequent question posed by enquirers every few days.  This bespoke mens shaving kit suits me perfectly and shaving for me is now more of a joy than a chore. The photograph really is of my personal shave kit!

 A little bit about my shave kit:

• Castle Forbes Shaving Creams are rated the best around by anyone who has tried this brand, creamy, lovely aroma, sticks to the brush and aids the razor edge in gliding across your skin rather than cutting into it. Not the cheapest to buy but as you only need a little amount of cream the tub goes a long way and in the longer term works out no more expensive than most cheaper brands.
• The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil, tiny little bottle but a little goes a very long way with The Art of Shaving (TAOS), excellent lubricator, helps the razor to glide and unlike some other pre-shave oils - it wont damage the badger shaving brush hairs.
• The Merkur Future Double Edge Safety Razor is adjustable – it has 6 settings guaranteeing the shave that suits your skin and beard best. Chunky and beautifully finished in mirror chrome, this double edge safety razor is reassuringly effective and built to last a lifetime.
• Rooney Shaving Brushes are know throughout the world for their luxury brushes, they’ve been around for 200-years plus and it shows in the hand made, elegant and distinctive brushes they produce in England. Excellent at lifting the hair off my face thus facilitating the perfect BBS shave.
• Merkur Shaving Brush – I use this Silvertip Badger brush sparingly as I love it so much I don’t want to become over familiar with it, I know this is a bit daft but hey ho, there you go.
• Hugo Boss Aftershave – a great manly fragrance from one of the worlds great design houses. Unfortunately, we don’t sell this aftershave as we cannot source a competitive price for it.
• Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum Splash, this reminds me of when as a wee boy the barber would dab some of this on the back of my neck just as he did with the grown ups, the scent is aromatic  with a hint of a tropical breeze. At only £8.99 for 177ml this is a great buy.
• Cyril R Salter Styptic Pencil – always handy to have around in case of little nicks and cuts. wet it slightly, apply to the cut and the bleeding stops.
• Taylor of Old Bond Street Alum Bloc, I use this after shaving and rinsing my face, rub it on the chin and neck to close the pores and the antiseptic qualities ensure you finish your shave off in a clean hygienic manner. 100% natural and only £8.99 this will last around 18-24 months, possibly more.

After years of trying to get the shave that suits me best I think I’ve finally found it!
What do I use on Saturday and Sunday? That’s for another bog – more later.

For lots of wet shaving enthusiasts, Merkur shaving is the only true way to shave and the Merkur 39 Barber Pole Slant is up there as one of the best performing double edge safety razors available on the on the market today.

Manufactured in ‘The City of Blades’ by Merkur of Solingen, this is the razor for any safety razor shavers who suffer from sensitive skin. The slanted bar and weighted head on this barber pole safety razor follow the contours of the face perfectly and cut through heavy stubble and beards whilst only needing to apply very light pressure.

At approximately 9 centimetres in length, the long, heavy handle on the Merkur 39c Barber Pole provides perfect balance and the knurling allows an excellent grip even when the fingers are wet.

The truly great thing about the barber pole slant is that, when the right technique is used (and this may take a little time to perfect!) the closest shave can be achieved with only two passes as opposed to the more common three.

Although compatible with all safety razor blades including Merkur’s own blades and Wilkinson Sword blades, when used with a feather blade the 39c slant can produce the one of the smoothest, most comfortable shaves ever. However, I should warn you that feather blades can be very unforgiving and not for the inexperienced wet shaver!

 Agua de Colonia Concentrada Cologne  “Agua de Colonia Concentrada Cologne by Alvarez Gomez” I answered immediately!
“And, the Agua de Colonia Concentrada Body Lotion and the Agua de Colonia Concentrada Deodorant are not bad bad either”. The question from a customer was “in your opinion, what’s a bit different, young and not typically available on the High Street”? This lady was looking for a cologne for her 22 year old son, she knew he would turn his nose up (pardon the pun) at the colognes his father uses and wanted something that would appeal to an image conscious 21^st century man about town. So how come I immediately answered “Agua de Colonia Concentrada Cologne by Alvarez Gomez”? Easy, Agua de Colonia has a wonderful scent which evokes lovely fresh Mediterranean fragrances of Lemon, Thyme, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Geranium and Rosemary.

Founded in 1899 Alvarez Gomez is the oldest perfumery in Spain. Out of all of their products, one special preparation launched in 1912 was so loved by consumers that it became a true success story and still enjoys great renown to this day.
Highly popular in Europe especially in Spain, but hitherto difficult to source in the UK, USA and elsewhere, this timeless, refreshing cologne is worn and loved by men and women alike.

This wonderful cologne is also available in 50ml travel size bottle making it Cryin’ Air and Squeezey Jet friendly as it I so light and as it’s below 100mls it can be carried on board any airline as part of your hand allowance.

Agua de Colonia Concentrada Cologne is also available as a body lotion, a cologne spray and as a roll on deodorant.

Expensive? No not at all, the 150ml Agua de Colonia Concentrada Cologne is only £27.50, the mini plastic travel bottle is only £4.99, the deodorant £6.50 and the body lotion is only £6.50. The cologne in a splash on bottle remarkably, is only £25.99.

Unisex Cleancut Intimate Pubic Hair Shaver

The cylindrically shaped body of the Cleancut Intimate Shaver fits comfortably in the palm of your hand from any angle and it is ergonomically designed to make it easy to manoeuvre around the more sensitive areas of your body enabling you to get that perfect bikini line or perfect Brazilian.

Coupled with its superb design and function, the Cleancut intimate shaver has been specially designed to prevent nicks and cuts leaving you with the ‘perfect Brazilian’.

After using the Cleancut I recommend you you use a mosturiser cream and one of the best ‘after shave soothers’ is from eShave, their fragrance free 8oz bottle not only mosturises it is a lightweight, very mild soother too.

 Thiers Issard Luxury Hand Made Razors

We now have a large stock of Thiers Issard luxury hand made razors available for sale. The best cut throat razors in the world? I think so.

Established in 1884 by Pierre Thiers and part of a family of master razor makers the Professional Guild Charter of the time lists at least three “Thiers” as master razor makers.

In 1870 Pierre Thiers started as an apprentice to a master razor maker and after twenty four years in the trade he had mastered the art well enough to become famous among the cognoscenti and connoisseurs of fine razors. In 1884 Pierre Thiers established his own factory called Thiers-Issard combining his last name and that of his wife as a way to differentiate himself from the rest of the family who owned similar businesses.
Although he died in 1929 Pierre Thiers glorious reputation lives on in the Thiers Issard razor collection that we have for sale on Executive Shaving.

Still made in France from prime Sheffield Steel, these beautiful razors are unrivalled in quality and craftsmanship.
They are highly collectible and rate alongside Ferrari cars and Rolex watches as true, luxury designer brands.
Our Thiers Issard razor collection starts at only £98.00 for the ‘Le Dandy’ which is a small price to pay for such a magnificent piece.
We also have a range of luxury Thiers Issard Brushes and luxury Thiers Issard Strops; needless to say they are the perfect accompaniments to a Thiers Issard razor and as you would expect, masterpieces in their own right!

We here at ES are asked every day the secrets to achieving a smooth shave and are answer is simply: use the right products! The most important factor that will determine just how smooth your shave will be is your preparation. Here it’s important to not only lift and soften the facial bristles with a hot towel before shaving but to use an effective pre-shave oil that will lubricate the face and soften the beard further. This in turn will allow the razor to glide across the face allowing the shaving razor to get even closer to the skin allowing for smoother results.

The next stage that will allow for an incredible smooth shave experience is using the correct shaving cream or shave soap and applying it with a full badger hair shaving brush. Using creams and soap will allow the face to get moisturised, lubricated and will nourish the skin whilst shaving. Applying this to your delicate face with a badger hair shaving brush will allow the correct water-to-cream ratio to be applied allowing you to get closer, smoother and more noticeable shave results.  There are many different grades of badger brush (pure, best, silvertip, super and finest) that have numerous differing properties for you to choose from based on your own personal preferences.

Finally for a smooth shave remember to never use a blunt or dulled razor if you want the smoothest shaving results. If you were to use a razor in this condition you will find its cutting abilities severely reduced and that it will drag across the skin catching the hair, this can lead to razor rash and even razor burn. So before the shave you should always ensure your razor cartridge or razor is sharp and fresh for a smooth and refreshing experience.

Almost 70% of men in the UK suffer from some form of shaving irritation either regularly or at least once in their life. These irritations can vary widely from person to person and can arise in the form of: ingrown hair, razor rash, razor bumps, white spots and even mild acne. These ailments brought on by shaving can be caused by a number of factors from skin type to hair type.

The most common cause of shaving irritation and other skin irritations is a lack of lubrication whilst completing a shave. Most standard foam based creams are entirely inadequate for lubricating and protecting the face whilst shaving. This in turn causes the razor to drag across the face and hair follicles, removing an excess amount of skin cells and causing hair follicles to cut unevenly, this in turn can lead to ingrown hairs especially on sufferers of sensitive skin.

Shaving irritation advice and complimentary shaving treatments

A way to prevent shaving irritation from happening is to use an effective pre shave oil and a quality shaving cream and soap. Here the pre shave oil will lubricate and moisturise your face, softening and straightening facial hair allowing the razor to glide effortlessly across the face. And if combined with a rich and creamy shaving soap or cream which will lubricate and nourish the skin, almost all shaving irritations can be eliminated.

However skin irritation can also be due to a person’s skin type and unfortunately many people will always suffer some sort of reaction to shaving. For those people Executive Shaving currently stock a wide range of skin and shave treatments to eliminate and even prevent these conditions from occurring. With shaving irritation men balms and face masks for an assortment of irritations, our wide comprehensive ingrown treatment range will have all the supplements and cures you’ll need to keep your skin healthy and happy.

Primarily waxing is a cosmetic treatment that removes unwanted body hair through the application of heated wax and either paper or cloth strips.  Specially formulated waxes are applied to the hair removal area, and then a paper or cloth strip is firmly applied to that.  The wax is then allowed to cool, and then the strip is pulled off in a very quick motion taking the hair, root and all with it.  The waxing process however can be anywhere from uncomfortable to downright painful.

Although there may be some pain involved waxing can produce astounding results.  The hair takes anywhere from two to eight weeks to grow back, and many times when it does it is much finer.  Someone who repeatedly uses a waxing treatment for hair removal may find that after several years, the hair simply stops growing back at all.

There are some uncomfortable side effects to waxing, however.  The most common are redness, skin irritation, and slight swelling in the waxed area.  You can also end up with ingrown hair, bumps and even pimples.  A few very unlucky could get an infection in their follicles called folliculitis.  Some wax and hard waxes and skin types just simple do not mesh well and can result in bleeding or even the removal of skin in places.

Most people, however, never have more than a few minutes of mild pain immediately after the waxing process.  This is normal, as is some slight redness.  Using a mild wax lotion exfoliant a few times during the first week helps to control ingrown hair.

To reduce the pain associated with waxing, take a Tylenol or ibuprofen tablet at least half an hour before your appointment.  You can also apply a numbing spray just before applying the wax from the wax heater, allow it time to take effect and if it has any oils in it, a quick wash with soap and water to get that off will help the wax cling to the hair better.  If this is the first time you are waxing go to a professional, don’t try it at home.  Another trick used frequently is to use a warm wet washcloth on the area.  The heat will help the pores to expand making it easier for the hair to come out.

You love the feel of your legs right after using a waxing heater, but you just can’t afford to keep going to a salon to have it done.  There are waxing kits available for the do-it-yourself waxer at every discount store and drugstore.  Many of these kits claim you can just heat the wax in your microwave and you will get a great wax for far less.  If that’s true, then why do they make waxing heaters?

Unlike a wxing heater a microwave can heat the wax unevenly, this in turn makes the user a prime candidate for a burn or a really bad wax.  If the wax is too hot, serious burns can happen; if the wax is too cold it may not adhere to the unwanted hair like it should, and that can cause greater skin irritation.  Using a waxing heater will make it easier to achieve a more regulated temperature throughout the product and keep it from getting to hot.  In addition, the wax will not cool off to the point where you will need to reheat it.

Simply turn off the waxing heater when you are done and close the top if it has one, or seal the wax can.  The wax is ready for you when you are, and you won’t have to worry about it spilling when you are trying to remove it.  Let it cool while still in the heater.

Many women choose to not use a waxing heater and they do just fine with the at-home wax kits.  Eventually, though, those same women do spend a few pounds on a waxing heater kit for several reasons. Using waxing heaters is a sanitary way to keep your waxing supplies together ready for your next use.  There are waxing heater models that actually have storage space for extra spatulas and even strips.

A waxing heater does not have to be a large expense and within a couple of waxes done at home it will pay for itself.  The comfort it provides, along with knowing that you will never have to worry about a burn is more than worth the cost.  Once you know what you want in one, it is a timesaving and convenient way to keep your wax ready when you are.

You love the look and feel of waxed skin, how soft it is and how long it lasts are the two best benefits you can think of.  Sometimes, though it is hard to keep your waxing supply stocked with high quality products.  This is why it is so important to find a waxing supply company that you can trust to only sell you the best quality items at the best prices.

You want to keep only high quality products in your waxing supply for many reasons.  For starters, simply because purchasing the same waxing supply from the same company gives you comfort by knowing the ingredients are exactly what your skin needs.  Consistency in your waxing supply will only get you better and better results than would changing brands every few months.

Finding Time to Replenish Your Waxing Supply

You never know when you are going to find time to re-stock your waxing supply, so making it a point to keep everything full will eliminate the need to make an emergency trip for something like spatulas, and end up having to settle for poor quality.

Any poor quality waxing supply is not going to do the job as intended.  You will end up with problems such as hair that is not removed, burning or irritation to the skin, even possible even skin damage.  Keep the junk out of your waxing supply, only reach for the best.

Keep a nice pre wax lotion on hand in your waxing supply along with a rich, calming after wax lotion.  These will help minimize pain during the process and will help your skin stay soft and smooth without bumps afterwards.  You may also want to add a hair regrowth retardant to your waxing supply to minimize the frequency you need to wax.

Your waxing supply is your best-kept secret.  By maintaining the best supplies and using only quality wax, you will have the nicest smoothest skin of anyone you know.  Find a company that has been around for a while, whom you can trust to only give you the best quality every time.  When you find a waxing supply company that can handle all that, and give you fair prices, continue to buy from them rather than risk running out of the good stuff and having to settle for something that just isn’t up to par.

Whether you are waxing at home or in a spa, there are several waxing supplies you need to have on hand before you even heat your wax for the most pain free, irritation free wax you can get.

Obviously you need to have the right wax for the job, and a waxing heater is always a good idea for consistency in the product.  However, not all waxing strips are created equal.  A waxing strip that has a thick cotton weave will do more than any others.  Whether you want to reuse them or just throw them away, make sure they are long enough for the job at hand.  Waxing strips are best bought in larger packages, as they are the second most often used of the waxing supplies available.

The most used item in your waxing supplies is the wooden spatula.  You don’t want to skimp on these.  Always purchase high quality spatulas for your waxing kit that have rounded edges and are well sanded to prevent slivers.  Ensure you have enough of these for what you need done.  To keep your wax as sanitary as possible, never re-dip a waxing spatula; always reach for a fresh one.

Waxing Supplies Advice - Completing Your Own Wax Supply Kit

Antiseptic cleansing wipes are also one of many waxing supplies that can help you keep your skin as sanitary as possible giving you great, super-smooth and healthy skin.  They are soothing yet remove all trace oils before you begin waxing.

There are many other waxing supplies that can make things go much smoother such as baby powder, Aloe Vera gel, and of course a good exfoliant to use in the next few days to prevent bumps or ingrown hairs.  One thing you absolutely cannot skimp on though, is your wax.  Always use the correct type of wax for the area you are going to remove the hair from.  Sometimes waxing supplies such as wax have essential oils that can irritate the skin.  Using a natural wax or one without additives is best for sensitive skin.

Having the correct waxing supplies can make the chore of waxing go much more quickly and reduce any problems that might arise from the procedure.  Keeping things sanitary may mean using a few more spatulas or strips, but in the long run, it also means you won’t have to go to the doctor for any reason.  Take care to keep your waxing supplies not only handy, but also clean and well stocked.

There are many different waxing heaters that are utilized by home users and salons on any given day.  Choosing the heater that is best for you most likely takes just getting to know what options are available.

There are waxing heaters with one pot and two pots, with many industrial and professional kits having even more.  If you are going to wax different areas of your body at the same time, this can be handy for the different waxes.  Some waxes are best for arms and legs; some are best for eyebrows or upper lip.  When looking at any of the double pot waxing heaters, make sure they have separate temperature controls.  This ensures that hard wax or one of the softer waxes, it won’t matter, they will melt beautifully and not harm your skin from being too hot.

Wax heaters – warm wax and paraffin wax heater advice

If you are looking at waxing heaters, and you have a roommate that also waxes, think about getting a single pot heater that uses a foil cup.  Simply drop the cup into the pot and it melts it, keeping things sanitary and simple.  After you are done, simply remove the cup from the pot.  If you are careful with your wax, you won’t even have anything to clean off the outside using a wax equipment cleaner.

They also make waxing heaters specifically for roll on wax.  These hold various size applicators making it easy to heat however many you need for whatever size wax job you are doing.  These forms of heater are most often preferred by the home user for a number of reasons, the most common being cleanliness and ease of use.

Waxing heaters that are single or double pot also come in different sizes to accommodate different sized cans.  Some hold only eight-ounce cans while others hold fourteen-ounce cans.  There are a few that can handle one of each in the double pot waxing heaters.

Although many cans of wax claim to be microwavable, and they are, it is best to use a waxing heater so that your wax maintains a consistent temperature and does not overheat in the center.  Microwaving wax can produce too much heat in the center of the product, which can burn your sensitive skin.  The best advice is to always use one of the many waxing heaters to reach and maintain a consistent temperature that will ensure complete satisfaction with your new wax job.

Traditional and Modern Shaving Lotion – Online Collection of Premium Shave Lotions

A high quality shaving lotion is one of the most often overlooked items that is needed to achieve the perfect traditionalist wet shave. Able to allow any razor to glide smoothly across the face thanks to its lubricating properties, good quality shave lotions can also prevent many common skin aliments such as razor burn and razor bumps.

Asides from their exceptional lubrication a shaving lotion can also moisturise the face before, during and after the shave, getting deep into the skins pores rehydrating them and slowing down moisture lost whilst the skin is dried. A further powerful attribute these lotions also have is that they are especially effective at softening the skin and hair follicles and opening the skins pores, this allows for a closer, more comfortable and flawless shave experience.

Nourishing Shaving Lotion for Men – Effective pre shave oils and skin foods for shaving

It is also very common that the shaving lotion recipe you will use contains a subtle blend of natural and botanical ingredients such as olive oil, Shea butter, cocoa butter, pea starch to name but a few. These ingredients are fantastic for nourishing the skin as during the shaving process dead skin and vital nutrients can be removed leaving a new skin barrier exposed to the elements. Shave lotion will form a protective seal or barrier over the skin protecting it without blocking the pores or drying the skin.

Using Moustache Wax.

With an increase in focus on male grooming in society more and more men are turning to moustache wax to create their own distinctive look.  Despite a gradual decline in the number of people growing a moustache over recent years an increase in specialist social groups and clubs have seen this decline slowly reverse.

Whether to use moustache wax is very much a personal choice and there are even those of us fortunate enough to never need it. However to create unique and personal looks some wax is almost always necessary, especially at the ends where it is most ‘wild’. Coupled with this, it is highly recommended to also use a small amount of wax horizontally to train the moustache and keep it in place over the centre of the lip, preventing it interfering with the mouth.

A good quality moustache wax can have a great variety of uses asides from training new moustaches, beards, side burns and controlling unruly hair. It can be used to keep bushy eyebrows in place and even be used as colour ‘touch up’ to cover grey, faded and streaked hair.

With all these uses and more besides, we highly recommend you try our moustache wax today; you may even thank us for it.
