Beauty Committee: Round II

We're a little ass company navigating the rough waters of the creative world with a grace as silky as it is sexy, so we thought it only fitting to ask our lovely judges to try products that will make your body almost* as smooth as we are: shaving oil. Our all-natural contenders are "Stellar Shave Cream" by Ursa Major, "Organic Shave Oil" by Tico*, and "Shave Oil" by The Bearded Bastard, and we have makeup guru and Beauty Committee judge Maki Ryoke here to give us the lowdown on each one. Check out her answers below and make sure to stay tuned for our next round of products!

Which one has the best scent?

I love the smell of The Bearded Bastard.

Most stylish bottle?

The Bearded Bastard.

Which one has the best name?

The Bearded Bastard "Shave Oil"—simple and straightforward.

One is sassy, one is sad, one is sexy, which characteristic fits each shaving product best?

I think sassy is Ursa Major :) It was cute and modern, but sassy.

Which one would you gift to a friend?

The Bearded Bastard—I really liked the smell, I want my man to smell like that, lol!
