    Default Imperial barber products

    Felles I'm sure you've all heard of Imperial Barber Grade Products. Well I've used the hair products for years now and they have resentaly come out with a shave soap and pre-oil and after shave.. I love it. Lathers nice the shave is slick as it a Glycerin base soap.. 30$ bucks for the whole set up and well worth it.

    Can't say I've ever heard of it, but thanks for the heads up.

    What makes it so nice?

    What I thought made it nice was not only the shave it gave me and the nice lather it made but I also like how the skin felt after the after shave was applied. Also it's nice some times to find a whole set, soap,pre shave, after shave. I'm not much for pre-oil but this ones pretty nice, not to greasy

    I've been using their aftershave since May of so, and I like it. I have been considering buying their preshave oil, though. How do you like it?

    I'm not to big on preshave oil only because I cold water shave most of the time, but I did give it a go a couple times and really did like it. It's not to oily like some and it does do a great job softening the whiskers.

    As an aside, I see you are from Dublin. Do John Madden and his wife still own their bar there?

    Not sure about the bar but I do know he and his sons own Haps Steak House and a couple other restaurants around town.

    Thanks....I think his wife owned the bar. Since he moved to Pleasanton, they may have sold it. I guess his son is a big developer there now. Thanks for getting back to me. I had a few cold ones with John and Phil Villapiano (#41) one afternoon there when John was still coaching. John is bigger than a house in person.

    .....and now back to Imperial Barber Grade products.

    Thanks for the tip on the Imperial Products. I just ordered their shave kit to try.
