Svelte Men: Shave Cream and 3-in-1 Review and Giveaway
Men are synonymous with simplicity, there are few things as simple as a man. I have been lucky in that I was raised by a man, so I have inherited that simplicity. I take little time to get ready and generally use few products. I believe that woman attract men that are much like themselves. If this fact is true than I found the male equivalent of my level of simplicity.
Until recently I believed I married a man who had the same simplicity as I have, as it turns out he may not be as simple as I once believed. It turns out that for men the shaving process is much more complicated than I initially thought. It was through review blogging I made this discovery when I received an offer in my inbox for a review of shaving goods and mentioned it to Jason. I was then informed that is was a little more complicated than a shaver and water.
The email I received was from Svelte Men, a men’s barbershop located in the Hollywood Hill’s of Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach California has a line of shaving products for the at home use.
I received 2 products of Svelte Men including Grandpa’s Shave Cream and 3-in-1.
I knew that Jason was looking forward to using this, so much so that he used it was son as we got it. The first item that was used was the Grandpa’s Shave Cream in Lemongrass scent. The first thing that struck me was how good the smell was – it smelled fresh, yet not fragrance filled. The jar opened easy and only a little was needed to lather the face. This cream did not have an oily feel and felt clean and fresh on the skin.
As the shaving began it was discovered that we needed a little more then we initially applied on the face. Once we re-lathered the shaving was easy and washed off easily without a residue.
After the initial shave, the 3-in-1 was used to soothe and moisturize the skin further. The 3-in-1 contains Vitamin-E, Ginseng, Vitamin-C and Chamomile which explains why it is so nourishing for skin. After all was said and done, what resulted was a clean shave that left the skin soft and most importantly, it smelled good.
Started as a barbershop in the Los Angeles area, now including two shops located the Hollywood Hills and Manhattan Beach. The barbershop experience is unlike many others in that beer is served, magazines to enjoy and a chill vibe. Decorated more like a mans cave than barbershop, this is a destination – not a chore.
As a simple barbershop expanding into products that can give you the barbershop experience, is the foundation of a great shop. I loved the smell and the result after Jason shaved and if you are looking for a gift for the man in your life look no further.

No ritual
I’m entering this for my husband. The only ritual he has is that he usually shaves before he showers.
I’m entering for my son who is just beginning to shave, I hope he practices good techniques for shaving. I don’t have any rituals when it comes to shaving, maybe soaking for a bit first.
I have very little body hair, so not much of a shaving ritual and my husband started no shave november about 3yrs ago and is still going to this day lol, but i love his beard.
My dad would love this for his birthday, thanks
My husband doesn’t have a ritual when he shaves.
It must occur after having taken a shower
My bf will love this!
Nope, I really don’t. I’d use these products myself, as I find that mens products (majority of them) work better for me than women’s do.
I’m entering for my son who shaves right before his shower
My only real “ritual” is that I go 6-12 months between shaves and then trim it all the way down and grow it out again.
My hubby has a “ritual” of lathering up shaving right before he showers!
I’m entering this for my dad. He has a full beard but always trims it on Saturday nights.
just wash my face with warm water first then I use a 6 blade shaver.
I am entering for my fiance’.He shaves every other day.
No, my hubby doesnt have a shaving ritual or process
My hubby uses a shave cream brush and straight razer.
I don’t but my husband does. He bikes bathes and shaves then makes breakfast.

No I do not
My guy does it mostly at the sink in the bath,once in a while in the shower if he’s hurried.
I entered this for my husband who showers and then shaves using shaving cream and a 5 blade razor.
Nope
No ritual.
great gift for my bf
I don’t have a shaving ritual or process.
Yes, I do. I always take the time to work the lather on my face with my trusty brush. I found that using a brush can make a world of difference in getting an even closer shave.
I had a close shave this morning…
Not really, just shave in the shower.
No I don’t.
Don’t really have a routine.
No but my husband shaves every night.
Yes, I do.
My husband has a routine of sorts he has to shave each morning!
I just wet my legs before applying the shaving cream. I guess that’s a ritual.
I don’t have a ritual. My husband shaves just before he jumps in the shower.
I cleanse my face and body and I use moisturizer. I’ve got serums, moisturizers, body scrubs pretty much anything you can think.
I let the shave lotion sit on my face for couple of minutes and use hot water.
I shave my legs and underarms everyday with shaving gel before I shower
My husband doesn’t really have a routine… he’s very sparatic lol.
I’m entering for my son and boyfriend and judging from the looks of them, no ritual there.
my son uses an electric razor most of the time but he would like to go to a razor shave system this would be awesome
I only shave after showering first
My ritual is that I only shave on Sundays and just around my beard.
I shave my legs and under my arms occasionally. I do not have a set schedule.
On the other hand, maybe my husband could also use these. He shaves daily.
I do not have a shaving ritual. I just grab and go. All the men in the family do though.
I shave every morning!
My ritual is to change the shaver a lot and have a sharp blade.
I’m entering for my fiance, whom doesn’t have a shaving ritual, just shaves whenever her starts to look a little scruffy!
Everyday i shower with soap and a razor.Really need to start using shaving creme instead
I don’t have a shaving ritual or process.
