Grin & Bare It!

The Simply Sensual shaving kit is very useful, self-contained and smells sumptuous! I love the versatility and quality products in this set and plan on using this for a long time to come. I just wish the bottles were giant sized! This set cannot be beat for convenience or performance!

Use

Simply Sensual Shaving Trio is self-contained in its own travel bag. This makes it easy to keep the products together and is very handy for traveling. This set is great for men, women and animals. Yes, you read right, animals. Dogs, specifically.

I have used all three products myself, my husband has used everything but the powder and our two little, hairy dogs have used the shaving creme and powder. I am very excited to review this set and am very happy with its performance, price and convenience.

Shaving Cream:
The shaving cream works great for all areas of body hair removal on both men and women. Women can also use this to soften their brow hairs prior to plucking, condition their hair and pubic hair (especially when starting to grow it out), and for softening the cuticles.

I like adding a tiny dab of the shaving cream to my lingerie when I wash it to remove the static cling and soften the fabric. I also do the same thing with stuffed animals.

Men can also use it as beard softener, chest and pubic hair softener and trimming up stray and unwanted hair.

I dilute 1 tablespoon of the Simply Sensual shaving cream with four cups water, mix it very well and spray it on my dogs prior to brushing. This works great for removing any burrs or mats they may pick up that day. A light rinse with the sprayer and you would think the dogs just got back from the groomer. I spray this solution on a coffee filter and rub it right above the cat's fur to get rid of static, this worked amazingly well. There was no residue on their fur, but somehow the static disappeared, (I won $10.00 on that one from my hubby). As you can see, you will end up needing a bit of a supply of this shaving cream, it sure is versatile.

Protection Mist:
The protection mist adds a coating to your skin to prevent chaffing and irritation to your skin, often resulting in those annoying and painful red bumps. I also use this for rashes, (I have a heat rash and it really helped to heal the rash up), on elbow or knee scrapes and any area that is left with a tendency for those irritating red bumps after shaving.

After Shave & Wax Powder:
The powder works very well in moist areas to decrease the chaffing and red bumps after shaving. I have also used this under my breasts to reduce the moisture, ahhhh....dry, all day!! This works great on areas that receive heat rash. It reduces the moisture, freshens up the area and leaves a soft, silky feeling on your skin. There is a slight period of time that the powder residue is on your skin, but it does absorb rather rapidly. I have used this on my dogs to reduce the dampness in their wrinkles. There is no talc, so this is pet safe. Of course, I do NOT use my puff that was included.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

Shaving Cream:
The shaving cream has a very thin, runny texture. It doesn't lather or foam up like other creams, actually, it is very reminiscent of thin, runny conditioner. It does stay in place after you have started to rub it in, but runs on your leg or hand prior to rubbing it in place. It feels smooth and slippery. This pumps out very well.

Protection Mist:
The protection mist sprays very well out of the bottle. It will spray in any position you hold the bottle in, I had to try this repeatedly! This feels slightly heavy, but after it is dry you do not notice any coating on your skin. I did notice it takes a little time for this to completely dry. I tried the powder prior to this being dry and was not as happy with the end result. I would suggest waiting until this pray has dried before adding the powder.This is a very thin, watery texture and does run all over. It does not stay in place until you have rubbed this on the area you wish to protect.

After Shave & Wax Powder:
The powder is very fine and light. It tends to 'puff' around the area in which it is used. As with most powders, this stays in place when rubbed on with the puff, but it can be a bit messy to the surrounding areas in which it is used. You might have to wipe off the counter and floor where you used this. Thie leaves a light, powdery film for a few minutes until absorbed into the skin.

Taste / Aroma

Shaving Cream:
The shaving cream has a lotiony, pomegranate aroma with a sweet spice lower tone. This is a very refreshing and light smell that goes away shortly after washing off. It does stay in your hair if used as a conditioner for a short time, but fades shortly after drying.

Protection Mist:
The mist smells like spicy ginger. There is no sweet pomegranate aroma at all. It is very complimentary with the lotion and powder, however. This aroma lasts for a little while, about a half hour.

After Shave & Wax Powder:
Smells like powder. It does have a light, perfumey aroma that could be considered pomegranate in nature, but is primarily powdery. There is no sweetness in this aroma. Then scent does not last long at all.

Obviously, I did not taste these products. It is also not recommended for anyone to ingest these orally.
    • Light smell
    • Smells good

Performance

Shaving Cream:
Excellent shaving cream. This made the shave very smooth and pleasant, the razor glided nicely over my skin. I did notice some build up on my razor, and it was a bit harder to clean out than normal. The close shave and smooth skin made this completely worth it, however. It washes off easily from your skin and rinses nicely from your hair. I love the dual purpose and it works great as both a shaving cream and a hair conditioner. I wish the aroma would have lasted longer on my skin and hair.

Protection Mist:
I felt protected all night and most of the next day. The little red bumps were a thing of the past, so this item definitely will be a part of my shaving ritual for a long time to come! I did not feel a coating after this dried, and it would wash off easily. I did not try to wash this off, I get those nasty bumps all the time and do not want to experience that ever again.

After Shave & Wax Powder:
This has aloe vera in it, this helped moisturize the areas that it also helps to dry. I love the longevity of this powder and will continue using it on my bikini area and under my breasts. It greatly reduces chafing and irritation from underwear straps and bra bands. I wish it was a bit less fluffy, however, that might reduce the absorbency.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely
    • Long lasting
    • Performance
Follow-up commentary
I really like using the shaving cream and the lotion! This has helped banish the little red bumps that seem to be a bane to my shaving experiences. The powder helps to remove moisture from areas that grow damp from heat, however I am not too fond of the residue left on my skin. I know it does absorb, however, it just leaves me feeling like I left something behind.

    Beautiful job darlin'! I loved reading about these and was quite surprised as I recently read a pretty negative review on this set. Hmm.. Maybe it's just a hit or miss, but it does sound nice for those who use these products. I love that you included the variety of ways each product can be used. Very nicely done

    Kendra: I think this is comparable to all beauty products as far as you either like it or not. It seems to work out that personal preference plays a huge part of the rating on items like this. I loved it, and it worked great for me.

    I really like that you found alternative uses for it for your pets not just you and your husband. That's awesome. I really need to try something like this because I hate those little red irritation bumps.
