To start, I have to point out that I don't love the overly masculine name of the brand. There is no such thing as gendered skincare products; individual needs must be evaluated and products are chosen from there. That being said, my husband and I have both tried this product. The scent, while pleasing, is a bit too strong and overpowering for me. I can almost taste it, like a shot of Peppermint Schnapps. I did, however, enjoy the slight tingling of the tonic on my scalp. I don't personally have dandruff, but my scalp occasionally feels dry and itchy. This is a product that addresses that well. My husband, however, does have bouts of dandruff, and this product also works well for his condition. As a licensed esthetician, I frequently try out products and add new steps to my routine. My husband is not; his routine is super simple and rarely changed. Though he enjoyed this product, he hasn't been able to get himself to make it a regular part of his routine. Adding in extra products isn't for everyone, especially when this type of dandruff control is a common aspect in shampoos.

I used the In-grown Hair Treatment after shaving with the 3N1 Shave Glaze and it feels amazing! It slowly gives a cooling sensation after being applied from the Menthol which I something I've been enjoying. It makes my skin feel so clean and after shaving - it adds a little bit of hydration, so my skin doesn't look as dry. The lightweight gel formula absorbs easily and doesn't leave my skin feeling irritated or oily/greasy. The pump dispenser makes it easy to use and gets the right amount of product out. The gel smells like menthol but isn't overpowering. I tend to get in-growns around my bikini line and knees but don't experience them too often so I can't tell for sure if this really works or if it does, I can't tell because it must be that good! I love the addition of Salicylic Acid to exfoliate especially because even though I rarely get in-growns - sometimes when I do - they turn into blackheads around my thigh areas. The Willow Bark Extract is also a great addition as an anti-inflammatory to combat redness post-shaving which is something I experience as well. The redness goes away more quickly with this product than not using anything at all. I will continue to use this treatment as it's something I'm truly enjoying and looking forward to using every post-shave routine. The small bottle fits almost anywhere without taking up much space - in my bathroom vanity, on the sink, and even under the sink counter! It's so small you could even take it with you on the go! I recommend this to anyone looking to reduce redness or inflammation after shaving and in-growns or blackheads (male or female)!- Desiree Singh (Professional Beauty &amp; UGC Content Creator, Educator, &amp; Influencer with 6 Years of Education &amp; Experience)

This 3-in-1 Shave Gel has been the most interesting shaving product I have ever tried! I love a good shaving cream but have never tried something as unique as this. Even though it's meant for men - it works just as wonderfully on women! I have thick and unruly hair as a woman of Puerto Rican and Guyanese ethnicity, so I shave once a week and I love products that ease the process - especially now being almost 8 months pregnant. The Shave Glaze does everything and more - it feels nourishing and my skin feels so soft afterward. I do need a little bit of lotion after, but it's definitely a lot more moisturizing than most shaving products I've used. It's a pre-shave oil and shave gel that looks and feels just like both. It also smells delightful with a light vanilla-like scent. The pump top is a feature that's a lot more appealing to me rather than a flip top or aerosol foam dispersion method and I know the packaging won't rust out on me and leave marks on my tub or sink when wet since it's plastic. My husband hasn't tested this one out yet because he doesn't shave much, but I know he will love it when he does use it for cleaning up/precision touch-ups on his hairline and shape-ups on his beard. One pass with a good razor on the bottom half of my leg gets almost all the hair off and a quick rinse with warm water releases the hair from the blade fairly quickly. Another thing I love about this product is the ingredients that go into it like Aloe, Panthenol, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Moringa Seed Oil which all have their own super beneficial properties to the skin. I use the TCM In-Grown Hair Serum afterward in case of any in-growns that come up later on. So far, this product has made shaving an incredibly easy, quick, and simple process so I definitely will be using this in my routine every week. This is a product I can and will recommend to anyone looking for a close and easy shave - man or woman!- Desiree Singh (Professional Beauty &amp; UGC Content Creator, Influencer, &amp; Educator with 6 Years of Education &amp; Experience)

3N1 Shave Glaze

As a professional makeup artist in the entertainment industry, I love testing out new products that I can use myself as well as use in my kit on set and recommend to my clients. This was a very special and exciting product line that I was able to give to my husband to test, so the below review is based on his experience with the product. This was my favorite product from this brand hands down. It smelled really good and it really did everything it says it would. The hair didn't get greasy from it, but it soothed my scalp and stopped any itch immediately. My scalp feels better and healthier than ever before.It is nice to see a "male brand" (yes it can be used by all genders) to have a strong focus on clean sustainable beauty. As far as I can tell TCM does not test on animals. The bottles have the leaping bunny logo on them. They don't test on animals, however it isn't clarified if their suppliers or any third-parties do. They also don't specify if they sell their products where animal testing is required by law (China).
