Drugstore Chic: Gillette Fusion Razor

Eternally in search of a better shave, The Art of Shaving store at our nearby mall lured my husband in like a siren’s song. After talking to the baby-faced store manager who likely didn’t need to shave more than once weekly, we learned an interesting fact. Some of the most fabulous razors offered by The Art of Shaving actually use a Gillette Fusion Razor (with a whopping five blades!)

Well, my husband isn’t one to really need a $250 razor, so rather than invest at The Art of Shaving, he took his business elsewhere, to purchase a Gillette Fusion power razor. He’s been raving about this product ever since, and his face feels silky soft after each shave.

The results I saw on my husband’s face led me to purchase one for myself (but I chose the manual, non-vibrating version of the razor).

Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Multi-Tasking After Shave Balm

Poor Macaulay Culkin. His most remembered expression is the horrific pain he experienced when using aftershave for the first time in the movie Home Alone. From what I understand, even most adult males are not fond of the after-shave experience. They’ve just come to accept that the act of using aftershave will cause a bit of biting pain.

My husband has dutifully reported this is not so with Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Multi-Tasking After Shave. This soothing formula contains botanical extracts to minimize redness and sensitivity, and to hasten the healing process for any nicks incurred while shaving. Unlike many after shave formulas that rely on heavy doses of alcohol to close the pores (in many brands, the first ingredient listed is some form of alcohol), Peter Thomas Roth’s product relies most on witch hazel for the same effects… a much gentler ingredient. The fragrance-free formula ensures that sensitive skin won’t be excluded from using it!

A 3.4 oz tube of Peter Thomas Roth Ultra-Lite Multi-Tasking After Shave Balm retails for $24 at Beauty.com.
