I received this e-mail this week:

Question or Comment: Dear Brotherhood,

Your website is on the forefront of fashion for balding men and creating waves in the world of hip. As a result, we’d like to entice you with a sample of a smooth new product entering the men’s grooming market.

What is it?
Citizen Smooth offers men’s grooming products specifically formulated to provide an excellent head shave. The all-natural ingredients provide a gentle, nourishing shaving experience supported by a pre-shave cleanser and post-shave cooling balm.

We believe in no more bad hair days and the end of comb-overs. Too many men are keeping their fabulous heads hidden under messy or fading hairlines. We have a slick solution to the problem.

Why is it special?
Citizen Smooth’s shaving cream is dense and non-foaming. Foaming formulas are merely a marketing gimmick. When air is added, these products create the impression of more volume, but actually provide less lubrication on the skin, and more chances to cut yourself with your razor. Also, the chemicals that create foaming action, surfactants, are known to dry your skin. Our denser, non-foaming product has much better protection from nicks and irritation than the foaming alternatives. Since it’s free from harsh sulfates and surfactants, it won’t dry out your head or face.

The moisturizing natural botanicals used in all the products are blended in the San Francisco Bay Area with select ingredients from locally grown crops such as lavender, peppermint, and rosemary. Other ingredients, unavailable locally, are carefully chosen for their therapeutic value and to support the sustainable harvesting of indigenous crops in countries as remote as Madagascar and Uganda. The suppliers of these ingredients are mostly family owned farms and distilleries.

Where can I get it?
You don’t have to travel to Madagascar to be a smooth citizen; all products are available online at www.citizensmooth.com.

Who makes it?
The product line was created by a San Francisco native unhappy with the head shaving products available on the market. The company is independently owned.

Who would use it?
While the products are specially designed for head shavers they also work well on other body regions. The gentle formula provides a nick-free, fresh shave that everyone can appreciate. We recommend you keep your product close; girlfriends have been known to steal it for themselves.

Citizen Smooth wants to end the era of comb-overs and artificial hairpieces. Hair restoration procedures are often unhealthy, unsustainable, and unnatural. Head shaving provides freedom. Will you join us?

If you are interested in a free sample please email your mailing address and I will get that out to you immediately. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.


Whatcha think? Should we do it? Y'all want to try this one?

With that being said. We have an image to up hold. We should accept their offer.

I just gave their website the once-over, and they are definitely on our wavelength.

Check this out:
https://citizensmooth.com/blog/2009/06/top-10-reasons-to-shave-your-head/

They've already been reviewed on SlyBaldGuys:
https://citizensmooth.com/blog/2009/03/a-smooth-launch-week-review-on-slybaldguyscom/

While I was over there, I even learned that Pat Sajak is really bald:

Seriously, though, I would be interested in testing their Shave Cream. We just did the HeadSlick review, so I'm thinking that if the same people did a review of the CitizenSmooth Shave Cream, we could turn it into a heads-up comparison. A Shave Cream Showdown, as it were.

It would be interesting to see if their Head Cleanser could clean my super-oily scalp. I'd be curious to see how their Cooling Head Balm compares to BaldGuyz Moisture Gel too.

Yep, I still think we should go for it. Has anyone been to their website? $15.95 for a 4 oz. bottle? Wow! I think that is a little on the high end of the scale. IMHO

I have tried their free samples and I will say that their product is good, but a little out of my budget. I will just stick with the Headslick products. I can buy a bottle of headslick and it will last me about 2 months, and it only cost me about half of what citizensmooth wants to charge for a months worth..

I say try it, just to say you did.
