The Rakish Gent has trialed an awful lot of shaving products over the years. This is one of the best. Heath use a unique blend of 9 soft and hard soaps, Tasmanian Pepper and Tea Tree to calm the skin after shaving and provide the ultimate shaving experience.

Vichy LiftActiv Specialist Peptide-C ampules
The LiftActiv Specialist Peptide-C ampoules help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and delver radiance. Wrinkles appear as the elasticity of skin diminishes and when they start to appear, they can be influenced by aggressors like UV rays, pollution and stress. The new drop delivers a shot of targeted action to fine lines and wrinkles simultaneously working to deliver smoother skin and strengthen skin’s natural defences against early alterations in the skin’s barrier. Each ampoule contains a double dose of formula - for use morning and night. Using a tissue, crack the lid off the glass ampoule, and attach the specialist applicator. Twist off the applicator cap and squeeze the applicator to release half of the contents of the ampoule, before applying to clean skin. Use after cleansing in the morning and the rest in the evening. Wait 30 seconds before applying your normal skincare routine.
