You Must Try This Soap
Anthony Logistics for Men
By Daryn Guarino
The Citrus Glycerin Cleansing Bar by Anthony Logistics For Men (5.5oz bar for $8 from
Anthony.com) seemed to be
your average glycerin soap at first glance. I found an odd phrase on the
side of the packaging, "Live clean, mostly. Shave clean, always." Shave
clean? Surely they couldn't want me to shave with mere soap, could they?
 When I shave my face with a razor, I break-out until the stubble grows back.
Shaving my face with a razor using soap, however, gives me the added benefit
of red, razor-burned skin wherever I don't break out.
A reviewer has to be
thorough and honest (stupid, stupid ethics!), so I replaced the ancient,
rusted blade on my long abandoned razor with a sharp, new one. I used warm
water, not hot, lathered up, and shaved down.
The soap was quite mild and
the citrus candy scent was neutral enough to call it unisexual. It handled
the rigors of shaving well and I finished quickly without bloodshed. The
moisturizing benefits were astounding! My skin felt startlingly soft and
smooth, not dry or tight.
I used it in the shower and I couldn't believe
that my bumpy, leathery hide had been magically transformed into something
so soft and smooth (and comfortable to wear with no itchy spots!). It is
100% vegetable-based with botanical extracts to soothe and heal, aloe vera
and glycerin to moisturize, and orange extract (nature's alpha-hydroxy) to
exfoliate.
Amazingly, I did not break-out at all that day. Even more
amazingly, my face was still clear and blemish free the next
morning!
To make it more of a challenge (please don't try this at home, I am an unpaid
professional test monkey), I decided to shave much more thoroughly and
vigorously. I soaped up and spent some time detail-shaving away every
single beard and mustache hair. I made multiple passes at varying speeds.
I shaved from a number of different directions and angles. I even bore down
at times. I shaved as incorrectly as realistically possible. I lathered
and shaved and lathered and shaved until a fingertip could not locate so
much as a single point of stubble.
I was shaved as clean as I get and I
knew that I was doomed to a few days of pain, pimples, and general ugliness.
I had another, brief, moment of wow-my-skin-doesn't-itch-at-all after my
shower, but my mood was dragged down by my facial suicide of minutes ago.
I
checked about a hundred times during the day, but my face stayed clear and
blemish-free. Tomorrow then, I thought fearfully. After a visit to the
mirror the next morning, I celebrated my wonderfully clear skin by doing a
Power Ranger Happy Dance with my two-year old son (he didn't know why I was
happy, but he's always ready for a good dance and the Power Rangers!).
This
is the product that I, personally, will be using from now on because it is
utterly fantastic and really worked beyond my expectations. From its skin
healing and softening qualities to its use as a shaving preparation, every
person alive will benefit from using the Anthony Logistics For Men Glycerin
Cleansing Bar. Consider this product so highly recommended that it is now
mandatory for you to have one! Get yours at Anthony.com.
