The Closest Shave I’ve Had In Years

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

“Thanks for giving me the closest shave I’ve had in years. But now I am stuck with half a giant bottle of Hydroplane! No worries, Hydroplane is still good stuff, but the new cream is AWESOME. Some say why spend more on high end products when the cheap stuff works just as well? I say, why put diluted, chemical filled garbage on your skin, when you can use all natural, highly concentrated products from a great company. If it costs twice as much, but lasts six times as long, isn’t it actually cheaper? I guess it takes a certain level of intelligence to grasp that concept. I’m a dedicated user of Bar None, Combination Code, and Whipped Cream and love each one for my sometimes oily, sometimes dry skin.”

Vain Glorious Billy Jealousy’s Whipped Cream Shave Lather

Monday, November 30th, 2009

The New York Times Blog, The Moment, shines light onto our latest addition: Whipped Cream Traditional Shave Lather.

Vain Glorious | Billy Jealousy’s Whipped Cream Shave Lather By KATIE CHANG


Who: Billy Jealousy, a men’s cosmeceutical grooming line.
What: Whipped Cream Shave Lather
Why bother: Some men appreciate the shaving process as much as the end result, so Pat Parsi (the man behind Billy Jealousy) decided to whip up an alternative to his company’s wildly popular Hydroplane shave gel. The resulting Whipped Cream Shave Lather is for the kind of guy who prefers a traditional brush-and-lather approach. “He doesn’t see shaving as an odious task but an enjoyable ritual, almost ceremonial in some way,” Parsi says. His latest lather uses lavender and bergamot to calm the mind and skin, while glycerin and wheat germ extract hydrate and enable superior razor glide. The generously sized tub begs you to swirl in your badger brush, or scoop out a dollop with your fingers. Whipped Cream is also colorant- and paraben-free.

How much: An eight-ounce tub is $22.

Where: New London Pharmacy (246 Eighth Avenue; 212-243-4987; newlondonpharmacy.com). For more stores and e-commerce, go to billyjealousy.com.

Hydroplane – “is so good, it’s ridiculous.”

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

The New York Times blog covers Miomia, a unisex beauty and grooming shop by Katie Chang, in south Williamsburg, NYC.

Chang sells more shaving cream than any other type of product and gives the blue ribbon to Hydroplane by Billy Jealousy ($20), which she says “is so good, it’s ridiculous.”

Katie Chang’s product-packed shop in south Williamsburg may be a mere 425 square feet, but it boasts almost 50 lines. If it’s a mega-brand you’re after, however, this isn’t the place for you. Chang is loyal to independently owned companies and cult skin-care and makeup lines you won’t find anywhere else in Brooklyn — or, in some cases, anywhere in the five boroughs. And unlike a lot of beauty shops, Miomia caters to as many men as women. Chang, who did her dissertation on men’s grooming (seriously), stocks unisex and guy-centric fragrances and skin-care products.
