What a great few days....Robb, Eric and I (Daniel) are back from the ESI Spa Trade show that was in Montreal September 26th and the 27th. This is one of their larger shows the place was busy.
Robb and I are both teaching classes and gave a total of 4 seminars.
Robb teaches a class on how to give a proper MENS facial (skin care) and I gave a class on Male waxing from head to toe. we had a total of 13 students.
The fun part is wondering through the trade show and finding new products, developements etc....so wait and see what we might be bringing in over the next month or 2.
We will also be taking our Bode act to Edmonton next in October.
Over the next few days I will include some of the new items we found and some great information on developments.
Dont forget to pick up the newest edition of UM magazine as it has the ultimate guide to shaving....steps and instructions put together by Robb and myself.

Shaving and new Product trials
Men face alot when it comes to shaving...wether that is a full face shave, just the neck or a little shaping here and there. As well try being a guy with facial hair going in for a facial...most estheticians have no idea on what to do for a guy with a beard.
So what do we do at Bode...well we also teach and educated in the professional spa field, through out this year both Robb and myself (Daniel) have been spreading the word on Male spa care. One of the topics we cover ( a professional class) is mens skin care (facials) and how to deal with facial hair. Of course we need someone with facial hair and since im the one that can grow a beard in less then a week guess what..I know have a well maintained beard...or I used to...I have kept the beard I finally grew for several months now....and then I came across a new shave line that needed testing...yes thats right time for me to shave.
I never really had facial hair, I was always trying to get rid of it....so I have tried my fair share of shaving products...the one I have been most happy with has been E shave....then I have also tried the Dermalogica line ..also good.... and now the new line Bode has decided to give a whirl and see what it would do...we love the ingredients so far..which for us is the first step..as so many products out there have ingredients in their shaving lines that just have no purpose of being there...
ok I am in love with the shave oil..called "head master shave oil" by Grooming Lounge. WOW love it.. I started off with this on my skin (after a shower of course to open the pores and soften the hairs) followed up with the "beard destroyer shave cream" ..again WOW..after my final blows of the shave..my skin was amazing..so far the closest shave I have encountered...people even commented..and this being day 2 now...my face only feels like it would normally on the afternoon of the same day I shaved....love it
Ok..so now back to growing the facial hair....even my own Mother said she prefers me with my facial hair...thanks Mom...
At Bode we are always testing out new products for guys when it comes to personal care, so if you have a favourite or one you heard of let us know....and we will give it a try....
as for the Grooming Lounge...we are looking into it....we are also testing out their hair care products at the moment as well...
Hey if you are wondering how to shave or if you are doing it correctly.....pick up the new UM magazine (urban male magazine) Bode put together an article on how to properly shave ...so great tips..product suggestions...and what to look for from your products...
some of the Bode team will be in Montreal this coming weekend for the ESI spa Trade Show...I will make some fun entries on products we come across or fun services we hear about...so if you have any questions fire them off to me
already picking up a new product for bleaching...yes thats a new one...check that out on our website...
take care
happy grooming
