Highsnob points us at this shaving and skincare kit from the Twinluxe family. “In the world of mens shaving skincare there is usually not too much going on, at least nothing in comparison to the women’s cosmetics world. This week we come across an interesting new line, TwinLuxe. The outcome is a fine collection of skincare and shaving accessories, designed by the same designer, who was also responsible for the Rolls-Royce Phantom car line-up, which sounds very promising.”

Shave with some whiskey, my friends. “This is a wonderfully rich, lathering shave soap with a lovely scent of WHISKEY. Blended into this soap is bentonite clay, also referred to as Montmorillonite, one of the most effective and powerful healing clays used to treat both internal and external maladies. Bentonite is a highly absorbent clay that pulls oils and toxins from the skin.” Blackbird carries the line.

One essential element of summer travel is your toiletry bag. It may be even more important than a regular change of undergarments and more versatile. You probably stuff it with toothpaste, brushes, and shaving kits, but as I learned during my last return from Los Angeles, carrying too much shaving cream will get you the full pat down treatment (no joke). REN Skincare solves the travel dilemma with their “Perfect Shave Set” made up of small essentials that will give you face the perfect finish it deserves by pre-cleansing your skin with a variety of “clean bio” natural oils before you take the blade to face. The High Glide Cooling Shave Cream does well in lubricating the blade during shave – something most foams and gels cannot achieve.

Check out REN’s Perfect Shave Set. It’s worth a test run at home or during your Summer travels.
