The Bluebeards Revenge Review

Well I am the reluctant wife of a Movember male this month. I do actually have a secret pride for what Chris has decided to do, I just am on my guard as I think the tache will stay if I show any encouragement, but that is Decembers battle.

I write this post even though The Bluebeards Revenge is an all male product. The warning for girls to keep away does have my fingers twitching to use it,  I believe the male hair free products are in general higher quality and more efficient.

But for the purpose of this great charity, my fingers have only touched the outside of the giftbox and the result of Chris's skin after use.
The kit is a great starter  for the man who usually uses a disposable razor. Its also sold as a travel set and costs £19.99.

Chris usually uses a gel and razor and this was a different experience altogether. In the set  were a  Shaving Cream,  Post Shave Balm a Doubloon Brush and Anti-Perspirant Deodorant.

Chris put an almond sized amount of the shaving cream on the brush. He said it felt light but in a way sticky, a good sticky in that it covered his skin well for such a small amount so feels it gives it good value. He liked the creamy sensation and using the brush seemed to fluff it up and at the same time, made his stubble stand up more. 

I loved the scent on his skin, its manly but not overly scented. It would smell nice on my skin, but I am banned. I think since growing the mo, Chris is really getting into the grooming,pampering routine and I believe this is a good thing, he is a very busy man at work,lots of responsibility and  these sessions, especially with the brush and cream have really relaxed him.

The cream is paraben free with added ingredients to specifically combat tough stubble and it does seem to make the bristles softer and more easy to remove Chris noticed.

The finished effect was most impressive, Chris decided not to use a new razor as he wanted to test the closeness of the shave using the cream and brush. It was really and I mean really good, his skin apart from being incredibly soft and smooth to the touch, was so comfortable he commented. He does get a lot of irritation and occasional burn which has made him a reluctant shaver. He is more inclined to shave as its a pleasant experience.

The balm gives a lovely finish, it has Aloe Vera, a plant I have on the window sill to help with any skin irritations and burns from cooking. Its a know healing plant. Witch hazel has lots of good healing and skin soothing properties too.

I am impressed with the last week of him using this and my fingers are twitching to use it, however for the sake of Movember I will resign myself to the pleasure or stoking his smooth face, well the parts that have not got the tache.

Movember and Gillette

Gillette and a few other brands are some of the Movember friends and kindly offered Chris some goods to help his shape his new found growth. 

He was particularly taken with the Kent moustache comb and hoping his tache is going to be impressive enough to have its only little accessory.

The Gillette Fusion Proglide Styler has helped get his shape started 

its for any style of facial hair style, Chris decided to go with a handlebar but whether it’s a goatee, a thin beard, or a clean shave with sharp sideburns, the trimmer keeps hair at the same length, the razor itself takes off the hair really close to the skin, Chris uses Gillette already and likes the clean comfortable shave.

 New for him was the precision edging blade its helping Chris to define his masterpiece. It has really helped get that shape quickly.

Its easy to empty and rinse the power trimmer under the tap and what Chris liked was the handy storage case. I liked this too as its neater for the bathroom.

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Movember is coming to a bathroom at ours!

My for one more day clean shaven husband

Well Chris has finally won. After years of threatening to grow facial hair and my threat of performing a Sweeney Todd style if he did, he's only gone and pledged to grow it for charity. So here I am filled with pride instead of annoyance and worse I will have to undergo torturous ticklish kisses from a man with a tache! 

Yes its Movember formerly known as November!

Chris will be growing a moustache this month to raise funds and awareness for prostate and testicular cancer.  Funds raised in the UK are directed to programmes run by Movember and our men’s health partners  Prostate Cancer UK and The Institute of Cancer Research. There are some startling facts about prostrate cancer below.

Knowledge is Power, Moustache is King

 Movember was established in 2003 by a few friends over a beer in a pub just outside Melbourne, Australia. The goal was simple – to create a campaign promoting the growth of the moustache among likeminded people and having fun along the way. It is about real men, talking about real issues and changing the face of men’s health, one moustache at a time. Movember now spans the globe, with campaigns in 21 countries in 2012.

Rules are simple, Chris must be clean shaven at the start of the month, then grow and groom a moustache, no sideburns or other facial hair allowed and track his progress at http://uk.movember.com/ on his own personal page and well hopefully raise some cash as he grows it.

I will be back with updates and gripes about stubble and a strange faced man!!
