He bought it at Pasteur’s because he had read that it was formulated with lanolin and sheep’s milk for sensitive skin. Here is his review.

Help A Vendor Out?

Sharpologist sponsor Bullgoose Shaving got hit with a very sketchy lawsuit by what I call a "serial litigator" who specializes in suing websites over spurious disability compliance claims. I am aware of several other websites who have been hit by the same litigator over the years (he currently has almost 200 lawsuits pending).


Rather than pay a quick settlement to make the lawsuit go away (which is what the litigator wants) Bullgoose is going to fight it in court. If you're looking to buy some shaving products soon, consider purchasing from Bullgoose to help out their "legal defense fund."
