Every Man Jack Shave Gel


http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ATMMQE/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002ATMMQE&linkCode=as2&tag=choos02-20&linkId=URHI6Q4RPKD7R5QRI have to admit, I was somewhat discouraged after my first two tests with cruelty-free shaving cream. Both were Alba products, which is a brand that I consistently enjoy. So, I was surprised by the disappointing experience I had with both of them. They were just so far from my expectations of what a shaving cream should be and what I'd gotten used to with Gillette and the other brands that test on animals. But I'm not willing to go back to using products that are tested on animals, so I was a little disheartened by the prospect of having to use a product that I just didn't enjoy. And when browsing the aisles at Whole Foods, there aren't many options when it comes to shaving cream. However, I did see that there were a couple new options from Every Man Jack - one in a tube, and one in a can just like what what I'm used to seeing from the major brands. It's called the Every Man Jack Signature Mint Shave Gel.


I was cautiously optimistic about this new shave cream, not sure if it would be similar to Alba's shaving foam, or if it was going to be disappointing in a different way. So, I popped the cap off and pushed down the plunger, releasing a thick gel into my hand. The texture and consistency is very similar Gillette's shaving gel. Then for the real test. Spreading it around in my hands immediately produced a thick foam which I spread around on my face and neck. The scent is a mild mint, not at all overpowering and very pleasant. As I brought the razor to my face and began to shave, it was completely comfortable. This was in stark opposition to the other two shaving creams that I'd tried prior to this, which were fairly uncomfortable, particularly when shaving the mustache area, which frequently left my skin red and aggravated. The Every Man Jack Shave Gel left my skin feeling soft and smooth without a hint of irritation.

The Every Man Jack Signature Mint Shave Gel is, dare I say, perfect. It's so good that I don't want to try any other shaving creams. This is the one. Shaving can't get better than this.

Having reviewed a number of products that I've found at stores like Whole Foods where all of the products are cruelty-free, I've unfortunately overlooked products that you aren't going to find at a grocery store. And there is one particularly glaring example because it is a fairly iconic brand, at least in the hair care industry. And that brand is Paul Mitchell. What's particularly impressive to me about Paul Mitchell is that they never tested on animals, refusing to engage in such practices long before it was an issue that became elevated in the public consciousness. According to their website , "In 1980, we became the first professional beauty company to publicly stand up against animal testing. Now, nearly 35 years later, that pledge to our furry friends remains a driving force in all that we do. Just last year, Paul Mitchell® Co-founder John Paul DeJoria made the decision to stop selling our products in China when animal testing became a mandate, reaffirmi

Cruelty Free Products for Sensitive Skin

Image
Having been over a year since my last product review, I neglected to explain the reason for my lack of posting. While it's partly because I haven't been able to find the time, the main reason (and the one most important to this blog) is that I've gotten to a point where I have found excellent products in every category that have surpassed all the others I'd tested. So I find that I'm content purchasing the same ones again and again. As I mentioned in a previous post , I have Seborrheic dermatitis, which causes some dryness and flaking on my skin, but I was also finding that my skin is pretty sensitive in general, and I was experiencing some reactions after testing out some of the products. There were a number of products that I enjoyed quite a bit, but they weren't always agreeing with my skin. This was fairly surprising to me as I would have expected some of these "natural" products to be less aggravating than some of the other brands that are more

A Cruelty-Free Body Wash for Men

Image
I'm always excited to see new personal care products for men, and darn near ecstatic when I find one that isn't tested on animals. So, you can imagine my enthusiasm when I came across a new cruelty-free body wash for men, Every Man Jack. Not that I mind the other body washes I've tried, as they aren't necessarily for women only, though I wouldn't describe the scents as all that manly. And many of the scents, as I've described in previous posts, I really enjoy, however feminine they may be. So, I smell like a Midnight Tuberose. So what?! A guy can't small all flowery and sweet? But I digress. There is something nice about being catered to, as a guy, when it comes to things like body washes. Other than this new one, the only other cruelty-free company that I can think of that had a men's personal care product line was the Body Shop. And it's not very convenient to find a Body Shop store whenever I need new shampoo, shaving cream or body wash. So, goo
