Product Review
Executive Shaving UK
Over a year ago I switched to a safety razor that is produced here locally, after a year I can state I love it, and my 16 years old son has started shaving using a Dr Squatch Branded version. I love my Henson AL13 Razor it is the best shaves I have ever had and I have been shaving over 40 years now. When I first got my Henson I struggled with it and found a video from the Executive Shaving UK, that made a world of difference. And I wanted to give some of their products a try. My sister-in-law got a few of them for me for Christmas. The products I got were:
Description of the Large Synthetic Shaving Brush with Black Handle:
“Executive Shaving's Large Synthetic Shaving Brush with Black Handle can be used to lather shaving creams, soaps and gels with ease.
The 28mm knot is packed full of soft synthetic fibres which are kind to the skin and completely free of animal hair making this brush a great choice for those with sensitive skin.
Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, the lathe turned resin handle is black in colour and features the Executive Shaving logo in the base.
Synthetic fibres will dry almost immediately after use and require minimal maintenance.
Comes to you in a branded box made from agri-waste which is 100% recycled and recyclable.”
Description of the MÜHLE Mug:
“MÜHLE's Black Porcelain Shaving Mug enables you to create a rich and creamy shaving lather from your shaving cream or soap.
The base of the mug has three ridges which increases friction to help lather shaving creams quickly. It comes in a traditional style with a perfectly moulded handle for secure holding and fine balance whilst applying lather.
These shaving mugs are trimmed by hand and fired twice. It is during the second firing that the glazing of the classic black colour takes place.
Compatible with all MÜHLE Shaving Soap Refills, a selection of other soap refills as well as all shaving creams.
Dimensions:
Height: 7.5cm
Top Diameter: 10.5cm
Bottom Diameter: 8cm.”
The ridges in the bottom of the mug make a world of difference. It causes the lather to build up so quickly and smoothly. It really is impressive. After using the mug for over 6 months I could not imagine going back to any other style or form of lubricant for shaving. The mug is sturdy and has a nice heft. And it looks sharp sitting on the counter.
The brush is middle of the pack for price point. I like that it is a thick full head of bristles but they are so soft and flexible. It works perfectly and cleans easily. It has a decent weight and a wider diameter then many on the market. I still recommend the Executive Shaving video when I convince people to give a safety razor a try. And I pretty much follow his method each I lather up the two cheeks and shave, under the chin and shave then around the mouth.
Here is the video that introduced me to their products!

The shaving gel from Executive Shaving is the best I have ever used and this cup and brush help make each shave an excellent experience! And every time I shave I think of the many shaving scenes in M*A*S*H. But with Executive Shaving your equipment will be state of the art, no Korean War remnants.
I am just getting ready to reorder shaving cream and will likely try at least 1 other scent from Executive Shaving UK!
