With Father's Day just three weeks away, there's no time like the present to start thinking about gifts for dear old dad. I was given a tube of Anthony Logistics Shave Cream ($16) to test out, but I thought it was a little bit silly for a gal to review such an important grooming staple for a guy. So I decided to give it to my better half to report back more accurate, male-minded findings.
He loved the fact that it was really slimy, that it spreads easily, and that you don't need very much to cover your entire face and neck. Apparently the slick and slimy quality (which kinda made me cringe) is a good thing for men; it means that the lotion connects to your face, providing a less-irritating shave. He felt that it stayed with the blade for the entire stroke, unlike other brands, which can skip and cause nicks.
The only drawback, in his opinion, was the lack of menthol. He appreciates the way menthol has a cooling and soothing aftereffect, which distracts him from the hot, burning sensation that goes along with shaving. At this price for a designer cosmetic product for men, I am definitely interested in stocking up for Dad. How about you?

I like to use men's shaving gels more than women's just because, like you mentioned in the post, they're usually slimier and very slick, which is awesome for my legs because they get irritated really easily.
I don't know if I'd try this out. I might give it as a gift, but I generally tend to stick to drugstore brands for shaving products.
1My husband loves this stuff. My problem is, he refuses to buy it himself. He is constantly logging onto my Sephora account to order it.
2My husband used to be the "Buy whatever is on sale", until he tried this product, and now he is hooked.
3My hubby used this from a trial sized bottle I bought him. He never really said if he liked it or not.
4My boyfriend LOVES this product. He, a very no nonsense kind of guy when it comes to his "beauty" routine, used to not wash his face at all. And then I had him try a Sephora sample of the facial scrub and he really liked it. He ended up buying a lot of their products, but his favorite, by far is this shave gel. It makes his face feel SO SMOOTH.
I can highly recommend it as a "Man tested, man approved" Father's Day gift.
