Beauty Roadtest: Get Your Whish – Less Painful, Less Frequent Shaving

There is nothing about shaving that I don’t hate – from the nicks, dryness and bumps of razor burn to the inevitable re-growth of stubble just two short days later. The Whish line of products sets out to make shaving a little less annoying – and I couldn’t resist that. Whish Hair Inhibiting Gel ($26) actually slows the growth of hair and soothes irritated skin, which makes the upcoming bikini season a little less daunting. I tried the product immediately after shaving and was hooked; the gel is non-greasy and dries quickly while still delivering moisture to the skin. My hair follicles were noticeably less visible on the second and third day. The hypoallergenic, organic product is almond scented – great for health-nuts, or gals with sensitive skin like me. Finally, you can cross shaving off the season’s most annoying beauty routines.
