I ordered the One Wipe Charlies


So I went ahead and added the One Wipe Charlies to my next order.  It won't be until l
ater this month I'm sure, since I just got a package a week or two ago.  While I was on the site I noticed that now they have a travel size of the Dr Carver's Easy Shave Butter.  So I added 2 of those also.  One for my travel bag, and another to give to a friend.


If you aren't familiar with the One Wipe Charlies, they are basically baby wipes for guys.  Maybe some day when I'm feeling like typing a personal expose, I'll tell you about our personal horror story (worse for my wife!) with using the Cottonelle Fresh Wipes.  Just think jock it, athlete's foot, or a yeast infection, on your bum.  So anyway, I'll try these out and let you know how it goes.  I hope they show up on a silver platter.


Another good review of Dollar Shave Club

Here is another great review of Dollar Shave Club.  I have no affiliation with this person, but their review is good.  Far more creative than mine:

Not only is it a good review, it is a great blog altogether!

Dollar Shave Club - Dr. Carver's Easy Shave Butter


Last spring Dollar Shave Club began selling their own shave gel.  I haven't done any research on the name, but I'm sure there is some humor to be found if you try.  It's called Dr. Carver's Easy Shave Butter.  It is $8 a tube, which is a little higher than the Nutrogena shave gel that I had previously been using.  But, I was willing to give it a try.  So in June, I added it to my next shipment along with an additional blade for my wife to have.

opened dollar shave club box with easy shave butterJuly 1st the order showed up.  It came in a typical basic brown package.  Of course the package came with some quirky marketing including a card inside and something printed in the lid.  There were instructions for the use of the shave butter as well (see below).

After using the Shave Butter for a few weeks now, I can tell you that it is good.  It appears to contain more "natural" ingredients compared to the gel I was using, and doesn't have any petroleum based additives.  There is a slight tingling on my lips when I'm shaving, and no amount of wiping with the back of my hand will eliminate it.  Only when I'm done shaving and get a full rinse does it stop.  This stuff goes on clear, and some times I feel like I don't put enough on, but usually it doesn't matter, the shave feels good, and my skin feels incredibly smooth and soft after I'm done.  I also feel like I need less moisturizer with this product.  Though I still use my Nutrogena after shave lotion with SPF anyways.  In fact, I would say that last Saturday evening, I had the best shave of my life with my Easy Shave Butter and my Dollar Shave Club razors.  Please feel free to comment on any of my posts to ask questions or ask for my input.  I'll try out the wipes next!
