At the helm of the barbering world is Northern Irish superstar, Mr. Jason Shankey. With the grooming market progressing at a rate of knots, who better to turn to for a little help than the genius himself. Jason has used his wealth of experience to compile the ultimate shaving system for the modern chap, catering for the ups and downs of the common groomer. Convenience is at the heart of the collection so building it into your daily regime is simple – just what we like!

Well, with the grooming gossip-ers going mad for the collection and an endorsement by England rugby star, Nick Easter, we decided to test drive the Jason Shankey Face Scrub to see if it really cuts the cloth.

“A course, but not harsh, gel based exfoliant packed with essential oils helps to reduce ingrown hairs and breakouts. The scrub is the perfect preparation for any good shave, leaving the skin clean and the hair blade-ready. Calming essential oils mean the formula is great for those (like me!) who suffer the effects of sensitive skin.”

Jason Shankey Face Scrub review scores:

I don’t think I’ve ever used a scrub which is as effective as The Gentry Grooming Co.’s Face Scrub. It’s coarse enough to be effective, yet gentle enough not to irritate. I’ve always backed Elemis’ face scrub and utilised its performance, however one gripe I did have with it – it can be slightly drying.

The Gentry Grooming Co. have developed a natural formula which is in tune with the logistics of a man’s face. The scrub is thick and creamy, and leaves the skin free of dead skin cells and ingrown hairs.

Grapeseed oil leaves the skin soft and hydrated whilst mint revitalises the senses. Used 3 times weekly, The Gentry Grooming Co.’s Face Scrub will help to keep you free from breakouts and will enhance the performance of your shave.

Using a good scrub is fundamental to any good skin-care regime. Preventing ingrown hairs, removing dead skin cells and preventing breakouts and blackheads are just some of the benefits.

Parabens are rapidly becoming the enemy of the skin care world. These controversial preservatives may well extend the life span of your grooming products but the adverse effects may not be so beneficial. Read more →

A good face scrub is quite possibly the most important part of your skin care regime. A good scrub (or exfoliant) will not only remove dead skin to reveal a brighter complexion, it is solely responsible for preventing ingrown hairs. How, I here you ask. Well, when the hairs start to grow, some get trapped under dead skin cells and, hair following in your footsteps,  finds the path of least resistance. This often means the hair grows beneath the surface of the skin causing irritation and unsightly breakouts. Read more →
