New York Streets, Hair Culture Collection: Forming Gel

I'm not a gel guy, so I tried my very best to be open minded with all of my senses about this product.

I saw: the cool tin tube the bottle comes in. I wanted to be just like the New York street styled couple pictured on it!
I smelled: a pretty potent, musky scent in my hand, I was nervous. In my hair, the smell was not as strong.
I felt: a light, not too sticky gel. It gave my hair a little bit of shine while holding my style in place and did not make it sticky or rock hard.
I tasted: just kidding.

Anthony Logistics For Men

I used a sample of the Pre Shave Oil. It was very a pleasant surprise how well it worked with my shave cream. Made the blade much more effective. I would not buy it for myself, but would recommend it to others.

Zirh

Used a sample of the Alpha Hydroxy face wash.
Very pleasant and effective. Not sure I would buy it for myself, but would use it if it were available!

Lacoste

I used a sample of Elegance eau de toilette. Did not like it. Too strong. One time i used it in the evening and it was very distracting when I tried to get to sleep. Much too strong.

Jean Paul Gaultier

I used a sample of "Le Male" eau the toilette.
I liked the product and would buy it. The scent was pleasant and warm and not overpowering.

Radius Head Replaceble Head Toothbruush

I used the tooth brush and wore out both heads that came with it.
The head portion was excellent and very effective.
The handle part was too smooth and allowed the brush to turn in my hand, which was distracting. But, overall, I would rate the brush highly and would recommend it to others.

Shaving Gel: King of Shaves-- MagnaGel MME

King of Shaves
MagnaGel MME Shaving Gel

I like it. Let's the blade slide nicely. And it clings tenaciously to the face.

But...the gray color is a off-putting as is the industrial odor. Also, I think it needs to be of a denser consistency so half of the product does not slide off of one's hand before making it to the face (where, ironically, it sticks like glue).
