Great old school Japanese Aftershave
http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Shiseido_Vintage_Lotion_Aftershave
First, I've been using that product for a month and a half at least, the tube is almost empty. I used it on a daily basis from Monday to Friday. It's now time to review this product.
It is unfortunate that the previous Alen Mak website in Bulgaria doesn't work anymore (http://www.alenmak.bg/). The new Alen Mak website (http://www.alenmak.com/) doesn't list the shaving cream. I hope it's not discontinued...
Price: This tube was given to me so I didn't pay for it. My understanding...
If the Lost TV would have a Dharma initiative aftershave, it would be this one...
This is the second Denim aftershave that I review and so far, they are very good products. A bit difficult to find around here (Australia) but worth the trouble.
There was a short discussion and more information in this thread: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=44401
Price: This aftershave is quite cheap in places like UK, it goes for around £3. Shipping is a killer but the AS itself...
This after shave is part of the new serie from Denim. Denim current offers the "Classic Serie" and the "New Serie". This is not Denim Black.

On the review now. I'm almost done using my bottle of Denim Chill, I must have 10% left. I used it for a solid 3 weeks in a row now to do this review. I normally straight shave everyday.
Price - This is not the...
What can I say about this Japanese Aftershave? Well, I bought it because I didn't try it. :001_rolle
The liquid is light green and you could almost think there will be Genie in the 135ml bottle... Not quite... I love Japanese aftershaves but this one is the first real disappointement.
I used this product for over 3 months on and off and been using it for a full week.
Price: The price is a bummer but you know, it's imported. I'm pretty sure it's no cheaper in Japan.
Quality...
I used this shaving cream for more than a month now and must have ~20 shaves left in the tube. Time to review!
Price : Very cheap even for an imported product. I paid ~ $3 AUD for it. Which is very good IMO.
Quality: Good cream were you have a very rich consistency and texture. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's like TOBS or GFT but certainly better than Ingams.
Scent: A bit chemical but the first item that jump on your nose is Lime.
Latherability: Very good lather every time...
This is a very cheap and good product!
I'm almost done using the tube so it's time to review it! I did a full week of Park Avenue. Don't be mislead by the ice cubes on the tube, this shaving cream do not contain any menthol, mint or anything that would cool down the face (unlike Omega, Proraso, Men-U)
The scent is very mild. It's a clean soapy scent that reminds me a lot of the Nivea shaving cream (also made in India).
The product lather like crazy! If you are looking for an...
I've been using this brush for more than 6 months now so it would be time to review it.
I bought this brush as I was trying to find why badger brushes where so good. I previously had a Pure Badger Omega and found it too scratchy.
Price: Not the cheapest on the market but not the most expensive either. Price was a bit high to my liking but it's not so bad
Quality: You can feel a good and solid product when you hold this brush!
Density: Very dense, this brush must be double the...
What can I say? It's toothpaste... Not any toothpaste, Marvis!!!
The product is good, it's not cheap, there are cheaper toothpastes out there but you can feel a difference in the quality. I feel refreshed after and yes, it does what toothpaste is supposed to!
The Ginger isn't a major flavour in the toothpaste, if not at all. I focused a lot and couldn't point the ginger in there, if I would do a blind test, can't taste it. The mint is very strong. I like minty toothpaste so we...
This cream is made by Alen Mak (http://www.alenmak.bg) in Bulgaria.
I could only find the regular tube down under but still, good stuff.
The scent is somehow a old school barbershop scent that reminds me of an old man. It's all right. Some traces of citrus and that's it.
The lather works well. For $2.20 AUD, it's worth a try.
I can't seem to find it anymore. They removed it from the selves now.
I must have 2-3 shaves left in the tube so I hope this review helps someone...
I bought a bottle of Courvoisier XO a month ago (yes and it's almost empty). I have it occasionally and it's really one of the best drink I had! I always drink this one by itself (no ice, no water, no tonic, nothing!).
Price: I gave it a lower grade as I think this is a more than average price that I would normally pay for a bottle. The price is the only factor that will stop me from buying it on a regular basis.
Quality: It's there! The intense reddish-brown is just wonderful...
I'm surprised that nobody reviewed this item... It's one fine drop! I keep a bottle in the bar as I love drinking this one neat.
At 45%, you need to go easy on this but it's surprisingly smooth! I almost finished my 3rd bottle of Single Barrel and know this one will be a regular. A lot of caramel and vanilla, very smooth, not smoky at all. I would not say it's a very complex Whiskey but it has a nice range of flavours. I probably lack some experience in tasting my spirits.
The...
What can I say? The stuff is cheap and good!
This little 65gr tube will set you back at $2.20 AUD. The highest I saw was $3.25 AUD. I don't think you can beat that price for what you get. Unless you get it for free :biggrin:
65 grams is not that much but you don't need much to work with this cream. I've been using it for more than 4 weeks at the moment and I still have some left for probably 2 weeks.
I use it with my Men-U bristle brush, almond size and it lathers like crazy...
Now, this stuff is not terrible, I think it's just not for me.
As you can see on the picture, it's a liquidy cream that you need to massage your beard with using your fingers. You will get some poor and thin lather(not sure I should call it lather) out of it. See picture #2, I used the back of my hand to give an idea.
The thing help the shave yes. Using a brush is useless with this product, I tried. I think this product would be great as a travel product. I rather bring my brush and a...
