Ok guys, I’m back with results of my first shave using the pack of Hommage products. This time I tested things out with a brand new Gillete Mach 3 Razor and previous warm water bath, just so you get the idea of the WHY of my results.

Well, to start I grabbed the Pre Shave Oil. Now, I’m not a big fan of oily stuff, I think they’re a mess to use when shaving and applying with your hands, but hey! I had to test this.

It is very easy and nice to apply, you won’t notice it much the shine on the skin like it happens with other oils I’ve tested, but it does a pretty good job at softening the facial hair.

Now, before I go on, I want to say something about the package: it’s not very practical.

I almost broke the package because you have to turn it around and press, and well when the gel or creams come out it feels like..well.. a porn movie (so to speak). Maybe because I’m new to Hommage’s products I had to pour a few more time to get the exact amount I needed, so the containers ended up “oily” and sticky.

Moving on to the Shaving Gel, things were a little tidier, you apply it on top of the shaving cream using a little water to help is spread easier. This wasn’t as simple for me as I had this beard of 4 days (and my beard grows fast like hell). The smell is pretty nice, and my face doesn’t need any extra fragrance, however, if you like to use other fragrances, this may not be too good to you.

I started shaving, and things were pretty clean, no cuts, no nicks and not so much of a razor burn. Still, I had to use the Fortify Balm. This is the best of the three products I’ve tried; this moisturizer works fast and relieves burn quickly. It has the same fragrance as the shaving gel – it smells nice.

Final verdict? Hommage’s products are not among the best ones I’ve tried, however they are acceptable and work as promised. If I had to recommend something from this test, that would be moisturizer or “Fortify Balm”. I also think they have to work the containers to make it easier on the consumers – over time it could be frustrating to use these containers.

Still, Hommage is above most common shaving creams you find on Wal-marts.  It is a high-end product available at a high-end price.
