Review: Men’s Society Smooth Operator Shave Kit
It has been a while since my husband has had the chance to try out some new grooming products, so when we were offered the chance to review the Men’s Society Smooth Operator Shave Kit he was happy to take part.
Men’s Society are award winning British designers of the quality men’s gifts and grooming products that men will love, making it easier to pick out a present for a special occasion or event. They have a very sweet start-up story; boy meets girl, girl is a great gift giver, boy and girl get together and start up their own gifting business (as well as a family).
The Men’s Society website makes it easy to find the perfect gift for your man, you can either choose from gifts for men who: cultivate facial hair, love sports or seek adventures. Alternatively, choose from barware, grooming or lifestyle products. We went with the grooming option and picked out the delightfully named Smooth Operator Shave Kit.
The kit comes in a handy, attractive box perfect for slipping in a gym bag or luggage and contains cleansing face wash (50ml), soothing shave oil (50ml), post shave balm (50ml) and hot cloth face towels. The lemon and thyme themed products are cruelty-free and have no parabens or silicones.
The soothing shave oil and post shave balm both contain lemon and thyme; the lemon is used to disinfect and brighten skin whereas the thyme calms any irritation and can prevent breakouts. The combination of these two powerful aromas has been proved to lift mood and reduce fatigue making these products perfect for a morning shave.
I love the old time look and feel to the Smooth Operator Shave Kit with its retro charm being far more attractive than other louder brands on the market. The products have a lovely fragrance to them and are obviously made from quality materials.
Vlad has enjoyed using the products to keep his facial hair under control, the face wash is refreshing and leaves the skin feeling clean but not dry. The shaving oil makes it easy to avoid any cuts, however, it does clog the razor and you have to wash it well between strokes to ensure a good shave. The balm is cooling and soothing leaving the skin hydrated and happy.
Overall the Men’s Society Smooth Operator Shave Kit offers a stylish and portable shaving solution with quality products in a beautiful package. Despite the problems with the oil, which Vlad tells me is a common issue, he has enjoyed using the kit and awards it 4 out of 5 stars.
