Jeftichew said:I don't suppose that any place provides small (free) samples to give this a whirl, do they? I'd like to try it of course, but have just bought too much stuff lately.
add: given the stuff I've read about this Corey guy, sorry I just don't trust him and am suspicious of his motivations (someone once posted an article and another and another where he was noted to be paid on the side to get things mentioned on-air or in-print, or something like that... quick googling brings it up).
But I'd be happy to give a sample a shot if one existed. A quick travel shave solution would be nice.
Cliff said:That's interesting. I've read his blog, in fact I read it daily but I never knew who or what he was. So, perhaps his view on certain products could be 'tainted' somewhat?
Jeftichew said:The Gent-
Please don't take my comments as by any means an attack on you, because they aren't (please see PM regarding this). If this was felt as such, I apologize.
I was just trying to say that he wasn't someone I held very highly as worthy of swaying my purchasing power one way or another.
I've found the post you alluded to. Hopefully there are still some available for sampling (see PM).
alchemist said:Ultra Shave also happens to be Kosher, Halal, vegetarian and vegan, and its formula is described as being "respectful of all religions and lifestyle choices", which is a welcome rebuke to such avowedly anti-Semitic shaving creams as Castle Forbes Lavender and Salter's Mint, as well as homophobic creams like Coates Lime and Musgo Real. Will their wanton, hollow demagoguery never cease?
Evening Gents
I feel i have to post the above paragraph quote from aforementioned blogger as its so judgemental, and i would like to know if there is any truth in the accusations of anti-Semitism and homophobia from Castle Forbes, etc.

I do think this thread should mosey on over to the Shopping forum, though.

Any associaton with he who must not be named is likely to generate lots of ire, as you have discovered. In any case, I hope you stick around B&B if your intention is to have some friendly interchange on mens shaving and grooming.

I feel sorry for ya, in both forums you kind of stepped into a pile of stuff, when you mentioned corey's name....read other posts about him, i won't get into it here...
as for as your product...i missed the free offer...don't know why, i am always willing to try new things and give an opinion of it....
I went and read corey's post..sounds like he tell it like it is....i love the wet brush and soap for me....but you know this sounds great for traveling, camping, or even the military usage...plus like he said, for those who uses the junk stuff this would be a step up for them...
but like anything else, maybe you will ike it and maybe you won't....personally i can't use feather DE blades....just too sharp...
but post some more about your goods...talk with us about shaving, or come down in teh barber shop part of the forum and we can talk about guttin deers or coffee or how to get a great shoe shine..
best regards,
mark the shoe shine boy

robofunk said:this ultra shave stuff sounds pretty neat, just put on, shave off.
i have to disagree with the rinsing the razor part, because i think that residue must be removed from the razor after each pass. if i were to shave and not rinse my straight razor, i'd have a bunch of goo all over both sides of the razor, and it would just get all over my face...
