Yup, you read the title right, grow your beard, SLOWER.

Like death and taxes, facial hair growth is unavoidable for men. But many companies have come out with hair retardants to basically delay the growth of your beard and give you seem shave-free time. Companies like Clarins and Lab Series have products that offer men ways to delay the inevitable.

After-shaves and night treatments that promise to slow the appearance of stubble have hit the market. They don’t help shavers kick the habit, just reduce how often their four-blade must be used.

Some hair retardants have sold well. Sales of Clarins Men’s Skin Care Difference, which promises to slow beard growth and improve skin texture, have increased by 10 percent since its January debut, and the oil now ranks third among the company’s 16 men’s products. Another beard-slower, Origins for Men Fire Fighter Plus after-shave, accounted for an 11.4 percent boost in sales of the Origins nine-product male line in 2007.

Others have yet to find their footing. Released in 2005, Clinique Skin Supplies for Men Post-Shave Soother Beard Control Formula still isn’t a top seller, a company spokeswoman said.
Lab Series Shave Collection Triple Benefit Post Shave Remedy is claimed to be a face-saver on long overseas flights. Now when you land 20 hours later, you don’t look like you need to shave. Many men had to shave as soon as they reached the hotel after a long flight and that can also be irrating to our skin. With products such as the one from Lab Series, you can just… go.

Why throw a razor blade, when you can re-sharpen it for hundreds of more shaves? That seems to be the basic premise of the “Razor Shaver” a cool new gadget for all of shaving freaks out there.

This is a cool gadget for shaving time. Let’s look at what it says:

Get up to 130 shaves from one razor blade in just a few seconds! (Normal razors only give you 5-10 uses.)

Now that’s a bold statement! 130 shave is a lot! Even if you shave just once a day, it means more than 4 months! And it looks pretty simple to use. According to their website, it’s just a thing of inserting the razor head and draw the old blade across the Razor Saver.

Does it work?

According to my personal research online on reviews about the razor saver. It work great for some, others find it too difficult to use, so it’s hard to say without even trying if it really works or not. Judge for yourself, here’s the link to the product: The Razor Saver.
