Can You Do Eyelashes Out of Your House?

Classic Shave

While applying classic shaving cream is more of a process, it provides a more comfortable shaving experience.

In addition, many of the less-know shaving brands are packed with ingredients and vitamins that are not found in the mainstream products.

For the ultimate shaving experience, consider coupling the classic shaving cream with pre-shave oil, and a good aftershave. The pre-shave oil will allow your blade to …
