The Fino brand was unknown to me, so the thought of using a new shaving product range (and one with such inviting packaging) was a bit exciting.

I started off using the face wash, bump cream and soothing cream together for two weeks and, after skipping a weekend, I developed a skin irritation and some form of rash that I’d never had before.

It was recommended that the products be used together for the best results for continued protection against bumps and itchiness, as well as to condition the beard area.

Like my typical self, I quit using the products together and used them separately instead.

First, it was the face wash that I used for five days. I had no bad reactions and because of the fresh feel, I really recommend it.

Second was the Fino bump cream, which is supposed to reduce the appearance of razor bump and burn. I love the fact that it is fragrance-free, but, unfortunately, five days later, the only difference I felt was more irritation and an unbearable itch.

Up next was Fino Soothe, which is an aftershave balm. I didn’t feel any difference when using this product – I might as well have been using a regular lotion.

Although the results were impressive and visible after I started using the products together, the reversed gains left a bitter taste in my mouth (and a bad rash on my face).

For the well-groomed and loyal folks who don’t mind more time in front of a mirror, it might serve them well – but for the rest, try something else.
