As you can see, these look very similar to deodorant on the inside, though they're firm to the touch. |
How They Work
Using a ChicStis shaving wand is super simple. All you do is moisten your skin, swipe this across the skin you're intending to shave, then shave as usual.
Performance
When I first used these I was a tad scared that I'd end up shaving off half of the skin on my leg (though in all honest I never, ever cut myself), so I did about 20 passes up my leg before shaving. I did about 6 or 7 passes under my arms before shaving. There was no pull under my arms and no noticeable pull at my skin. I do think there is every so slightly less glide than using a synthetic shaving cream, but it is barely, barely noticeable and certainly not enough to say this gives you a worse shave. In fact, I think I may have even gotten smoother results from using this!
Price
Chicstix shaving wands are priced at $9 retail per wand.
Where to Buy

Final Thoughts
I'm pretty impressed with these, I imagine they'd last for quite a few more shaves than a bottle, tube, or can of shaving gel/foam and since they're solid and non-aerosol, you can bring them onto a plane without worry! I wasn't at all irritated by these (and I have sensitive skin), which is probably partially due to the fact these wash right off after use and don't leave a film on your skin. I would definitely suggest giving these a try if you're looking for a convenient shaving lubricant! The one area I would not personally give these a go on would be your bikini line, simply because there isn't much in regards to lather, but that's just my opinion ;)
What do you think? Would you try a shaving solid in lieu of your normal product?
I was one of the lucky few to be involved during the invention and testing phase of this ingenious product. Mango is my favorite, but there are many scents to choose from and each is equally pleasing. I love the fact that it leaves my skin feeling smooth, cuts shaving time in half becasue you aren't having to rinse the blade every stroke to rid of foam and it travels well, no worries getting through airport security with this nifty stick.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend this product and encourage you to visit Menskinusa.com for the men in your life as well. Both products are an asset to the shaving world and a MUST have in our home!
Happy Shaving...
