The Bluebeard's Revenge

The other night I was on Amazon looking to buy a stone holder, It's easier for me to buy one online and have it shipped. Anyway, Since I've bought shave stuff before, They suggested, "The Bluebeard's Revenge" (Formal review to come) Shave cream. The container looked really cool with a skull and crossbones on it. It's from the UK, comes in a 180ml tub.

It's has a whipped consistency, not thick like Castle Forbes.
This stuff is awesome, Rich, creamy lather and lot's of it. I used an Almond size dollop, and easily could have used half. It has a very unique fragrance, Masculine. The lather and cream reminds me of Xpec, I know a lot of you never tried Xpec, but's it's a lot like that. Eats up water. You almost can't kill it.

Great glide, and when your done, your face doesn't even feel like you shaved, really wierd...Another thing, they will send a free shave brush for just s&h costs with purchase. I also bought their post shave balm, also an outstanding product...

You will not be disappointed with this shave cream.

Sounds like it worth a try. Thanks for the review.

I saw that on a shaving site the other day when I was talking to you about new shave crewams, but was unsure about it and couldn't find any reviews. Thanks for some feedback on the product.

Rich,

When I saw this thread I thought that the name sounded familiar. It turns out that Rasage Poulin, which is a few hours south of me in Calgary, stocks it regularly. I might have to try some now.....:hmmm:

Ryan, You know me and shave creams, This stuff is off the hook..It's well worth the price, a steal, and it whips up very easy. I used a Simpson PJ2, (quickly becoming my favorite brush) I love the Skull and Crossbones logo.

The fragrance is really hard to describe. I even asked my gf, and she said, "Masculine"
If it was Sandalwood, Rose, Lime, etc..it'd be easy, but this one, I can't describe it...

I found it on QED,thanks for the review,always looking for a good cream at a good deal,

According to their own claims it inhibits hair growth. Now who would want that? It reduces the amount of shaves you can do.

Also, Mantic59 is going to test it for 30 days to test that claim.

Oh No !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My head is bald,i dont want my face bald, I'll have to sell all my Sheit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My dear Zib:

This is ironic.

I had thought about ordering The Bluebeard's Revenge shave cream for some months. Soon it became an obsession. Finally, yesterday I ordered a tub, along with the aftershave balm.

Early this morning I came across this thread with my friend Zib's most informative comments on The Bluebeard's Revenge shave cream. What a delightful surprise. Thank you for your thoughts. Now I can rest assured I will like this shave cream.

Regards,

Obie

I read the claim about inhibiting hair growth...Bummer, but do you really think it's possible? It really is a good shave cream. I'll have to check out Mantic's youtube page.
I've always enjoyed his vids....

Obie, Please share your thoughts with me...?

Hello, Zib:

Yes, yes, of course, I will share my thoughts with you on the cream. It sounds good. I mean the name alone stamps the cream with a tone of individuality — The Bluebeard's Revenge.

As for the inhibiting hair growth claim, I don't know what to make of it. Then again, at this stage in my life I'll believe anything, including singing rabbits and dancing raccoons.

Should the claim have some substance, though, I might be a touch sad, since I've had this tough Assyrian beard all my life and now hate to have it neutered.

Regards,

Obie

I understand. I just visited Mantic's youtube webpage. He does mention he'll be testing for 30 days. He'll post the results on his blog. I may test it for a week, and see if there's any noticeable difference. I tend to doubt claims like that. I've seen products before that make such claims. They didn't work. I used it yesterday, and my beard is at normal levels...no reduction.

Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure. The box itself is an interesting read. They donate 50p from every purchase to the Firefighters. They claim after a few months use, it will reduce beard growth, decreasing the length and density of stubble which in turn makes your shave closer and more comfortable.

So, they claim you'll still be shaving....

All in All, it's the coolest looking cream in the collection. All the other soaps and creams are scared....

My dear Zib:

I agree with you on the quality of The Bluebeard's Revenge shave cream. It is superb. From the luxurious lather to the easy glide and the comfortable cushion, the cream floats among the top brands I have tried. The fragrance holds subtle notes of good and clean soap, which I like. I am most pleased with this cream.

The aftershave balm is also of high quality and I rank it among my top picks. The fragrance, although not overpowering, fails to please my nose, however. I think I would have preferred it without a scent. As a rule (Trumper's Coral Skinfood being an exception), I prefer a scentless aftershave balm. Still, I am glad I ordered it from our good friend BullGoose.

The Bluebeard's Revenge is good stuff.

Regards,

Obie

Hi guys,
BrickBag is absolutely right about this...I had come across this creme before in my research, but what I had found at the time is that this creme contain Decelerine, which is a mixture of active ingredients* (see mixture formulation below with red highlight, which is the active ingredient) offering a complete post-shaving treatment. It targets its action in hair follicle cells and weakens new hair formation. Decelerine has been proven to inhibit hair growth and decrease the length and density of unwanted hair, thus reducing the frequency of shaving and depilation. It also seems that it also provides a soothing, moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

* INCI Name: Water, Glycerin, Barbados Aloe (Aloe Barbadensis) Leaf Extract, Lauryl Isoquinolinium Bromide, Psuedoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Polyquaternium-37, Disodium EDTA, Isopropyl Alcohol, Sodium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Allantoin, Glucose, Caprylyl Glycol.

The red ingredient is the actual "active" chemical.

I, personally, will not put any of this stuff on my face because I do not wish hair growth inhibition...I enjoy shaving too much ;)

For those of you who are interested in more reading, you may find this pdf article (see attached link) on Decelerine informative

This is not helping my acquisition addiction at all, not at all. SCAD has kicked in and the resulting tremors in my hands are bad enough that I've had to type this with my toes.

Thanks ever so much. :gaah:

Ah well, :beer1:

Sounds like some nasty chemicals,thanks for the update,we need stuff to promote facial hair growth !!!!!

It's a great product. All the ingredients are deemed as safe and the UK are strict. It has been rebranded in the USA as Dreadnought.
