Guys,
Looking for opinions here, I know we have been discussing development of the site and I see that Neil has started contributing in they way of knowledge. Do we want to have reviews of products or does that just duplicate the B&B site?
If so do we need a formal review and scoring system? I would be happy to contribute at least one review every week (most weeks) I thing some content on the form of reviews for everything shave related would be useful but do feel it would end up duplicating the B&B review section so do we want to do something slightly different.
Let me know what you think and Boab if you have any technical input if it is possible that others can review my review and aggregate the score let me know.
I am interested in any comments on how we should move the site forward. Boab created this and I an very thankful to him for that but as I have seen discussed earlier we need content to attract people and I think how we could differentiate from B&B is within our links are evaluations os the retailer (with links) this would allow people to see where most have purchased from and report the experience with the retailer.
Here is an example, any thoughts
This is one of those products that many will pass by. I felt that this was unfair, this is one of the unsung heroes of the post shave world and therefore deserved a review in here. I think it is one of the nicest splashes around, and is decent value for money. It comes in a glass bottle and can be had from many vendors, Paul at Connaught has an offer on this product at the moment and I usually add two to most orders because I end up giving or swapping a bottle of it. Mostly everyone who has tried it has came back to say they liked it.
One of the best things about this splash is that is effective in action and it also has a nice mild smell; you could wear it on its own. However if you choose to wear a cologne or other A/S on top it won’t compete with the scent. Just leave it ten minutes after application of Proraso and then apply any scent of your choosing, Maybe someone will disagree with me but I have not found an outright clash between this and any other aftershave or cologne I own.
The splash has quite a bracing effect especially if applied shortly after shaving. I have to confess I look forward to that splash in the mornings and after a few weeks of using this you will regret the day you do not have it, it now has to travel with me in a decant container.
We have not developed a formal review system yet, this is my stab at it
All marks out of ten
Price 10 (Cheap and lasts ages)
Gets the job done 9 (very effective)
Scent 9 (Proraso – need I say more)
Moisturising 6 (not a moisturiser I usually use a light moisturiser after)
No burn 5 (burns at first but then becomes very cold)
Cooling 9 (Lovely cooling effect on the skin)
Retailer 10 (Fast shipping, well packed and good prices)
