Refresh And Restore

Jono Goodwin, aka @taperedout, has been in the barbering industry for almost 9 years. He grew up going to the barbers with his dad like many young lads and was also in a 3 part barbershop quartet in Auckland, New Zealand. Since then Jono has become a Reuzel scumbassador, a title that is highly sought after by Reuzel enthusiasts in the barbering industry worldwide. “I’ve been a Reuzel Scumbassador for just over a year, and to say I love spreading the greasy gospel would be an understatement.”

Jono currently works as a head barber for Tommy Guns Barbershop. The Brisbane based barber shop is an 8-chair shop with up to 10 people working at a time. Although hectic at times, Jono is passionate about making sure everyone keeps to a high standard of service. We asked Jono to road test the recent new offering from Reuzel – R&R Skincare for men.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT REUZEL?

“we have seen real growth in male skin care in the past few years and its only set to grow bigger with time.”

Early on in my barbering career Reuzel dropped a razor faded pomp tutorial. It was one of the most well executed cuts I had ever seen and I made it my personal goal to be able to pull one of those bad boys off! Now that I have learnt more about Reuzel, I really love that their hair products are also good for your scalp and hair with ingredients such as aloe vera, vitamin e, and of course, Reuzel’s T4 tonic, including witch hazel, nettle leaf, rosemary extract and horsetail root extract.

WHAT DID YOU THINK WHEN YOU HEARD REUZEL WAS CREATING A SKINCARE RANGE?

I thought that it was an awesome idea.The male grooming industry is growing really quickly and is only set to grow bigger with time. I think it is a great time to jump on board!

TELL US WHAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THE RANGE?

The first thing I liked about the skincare range was how easy it was to use. I found putting it on my bathroom sink next to my tooth brush made it easy to become part of my everyday routine. I loved the Solid Face Wash stick, especially as my skin can be quite sensitive, I found it to work well and not make my face feel tingly. The Hydrating Face Moisturizer was really good as it didn’t make my oily skin any oilier and the Intensive Care Eye Cream was also great. In all the time that I have used the Refresh and Restore range, I have found my skin hasn’t felt oily and I have not had any dry uneven skin tone on my face. Since using, I have been recommending the R&R range and think that in a barbershop it could most definitely be used as part of a facial or as an add on to your beard services. This way the client gets to experience the feel and smell of the products. For a deluxe facial you could even use the Reuzel scrub shampoo as a facial scrub (depending on the skin) followed with a hot towel clean, fresh face wash, hydrating moisturizer, intensive care eye cream to finish. Prior to using R&R, I was using my wife’s skin care products, whenever she wasn’t looking mind you. After seeing the changes in my skin my wife has started using mine lol! I might have to hide it away from her.
