Review- Ace Nail Brush for Men

Man-sized, rubberized grip. Durable, short, slanted bristles & long, dense bristles.

"Hand it to ACE to think up the all-new nail brush, designed with an extra large, rubberized grip for man-sized hands, short, slanted bristles to scrub away grit under nails and long, dense bristles for cleaning outer nails and cuticles." $6.99

Dermot says:

Ace thought of everything a man could need with this brush. It's got a sturdy, full-sized handle, which is oval shaped for comfort. It has both the traditional placement of bristles across the bottom and a layer of slanted bristles on top. The bottom bristles are hard enough to do the job & the slanted bristles really "get right in there". It may not be as decorative as the unisex brush I usually use, but it makes up for that with effectiveness. My wife suggested it would make a great stocking stuffer & she's right.

It was a little odd testing hair and skin products for men . . . but what the heck. Volume did as promised; each of the shampoos really did leave my hair feeling clean; and they really are scented for men. I think because my hair is color-treated, the products were a bit drying for my hair. Honestly, I think any man would enjoy using them, would like how his hair and skin feels, and enjoy the fragrances. I used them enough to test them, but I’m about to give them to my friend’s husband and request he test them for me. I'll add his comments once I get them. **My friend's husband really loved the tingly, clean feeling when he used Refresh Active Body Wash. He liked the shampoos, didn't use the hair conditioner, and his wife said his hair wasn't quite as "poofy" as when we uses baby shampoo. She also used the hair products. At first, she didn't think they were working because they don't lather (this is the new "breed" of healthy shampoo: no lathering detergents, just good stuff). She also didn't feel the conditioner was doing anything (because it didn't feel like drug-store conditioners on her hair). However, once her (uncolored) hair air-dried, it was a different story. The texture was amazing, and her naturally loose curls were gorgeous. We were both impressed.
