The Executive Shaving Company 2019 News Update

We never rest on our laurels, we’re constantly looking to improve our own brand range and the choice of brands we sell to bring our customers more choice, better quality and value for money.

New Aftershave
A glaring gap in our own brand portfolio is a traditional, splash-on aftershave. After much deliberation and testing, we have at last, chosen one. It&rsq

There are three main reasons why you should shave with a safety razor as opposed to a cartridge razor.

1). It’s better for your skin
2). It’s better for the environment
3). It’s cheaper than shaving with cartridge blades

Let’s look at these three points in more detail.

It’s better for your skin. Today’s modern razors and electric shavers are no match for a double-edged safety razor. This is due to the very design of modern cartridge razors. The blades in a multi-blade cartridge are each positioned to gradually extend toward your beard, unlike a safety razor. These cartridges achieve their closeness by stretching the skin with a layer of rubberised ‘micro fins’, then by lifting the hair and slicing it off at a point slightly below the surface of the skin. It is thi

Men with skin problems often avoid shaving for days or even weeks on end and when they do eventually shave, they suffer from redness, itchiness, razor bumps and cuts.
I believe the vast majority of these problems can be eliminated if the user has a good shaving technique and the right tools. 
First things first, no matter which type of razor you use -

• Always shave with a sharp blade, the sharper the better.
• Always shave on top of a rich, creamy, protective lather.
• Shave with a light touch
• Shave in the direction your bristles grow (until your skin problems are resolved).
• After shaving moisturise and soothe your skin with an aftershave balm.

The launch of the Feather DER-A was a bolt from the blue, the first I knew about it was when the agent sent me a sample in the post. I immediately ordered 25 as I knew there would be initial interest. I was right, we sold 10 after we featured the razor in an email to our customers and another 7 have since sold probably after seeing a Facebook post of ours.

Our own Intensive Moisturising Balm has since its launch five years ago never once been out of our top 10 selling items.

You may think it’s easy to buy a shaving brush, I guess it is, look shaving brushes up on Google, click and pay, hey presto brush bought. But, is it the right brush? Did you pay too much? What if he doesn’t want an animal hair brush? What if it’s too wee or too big? Right colour or wrong colour? Does it need a stand? Is it any good for lathering hard soaps?
So many questions, but let me answer them in easy to understand terms.
