Charles Roberts recently hosted the first-ever live demonstration of his Hydrolast system of shaving.  We were given the opportunity to film this event at his store, Enchante, in downtown Austin, TX.  In the video Charles covers the principles of cutting forms that he has developed over the years to achieve the best shave possible.  This demonstration clearly shows the level of performance for which his products are formulated, especially for unequaled cutting performance using Feather DE razor blades.

One of the best-kept secrets in wet shaving is Tabula Rasa, a very unique shaving product that creates an incredible lather and great shave for all skin types. Its all-natural ingredients include mango and Shea butter, as well as a proprietary Swiss-made cosmetic agent called “Stimu-Tex” for treating dry and sensitive skin.

Although it's technically a shaving soap, the consistency of Tabula Rasa is more like a dense shaving cream. It comes packaged in a large, double-walled, plastic tub and has a very dense texture, something between a traditional cream and a soft putty-like soap.  The unique texture of this product makes creating lather a greater challenge than traditional soft creams, which can be easily whipped into lather in a lathering bowl with a wet brush. I worked with this product for awhile before I finally found the best approach for creating a rich and thick lather.
