I get sent a lot of different things to test, from wanking tools (HERE) to moisturisers and many other things that don’t get mentioned on these pages for various reasons, mostly due to the sheer amount of products I receive.

Yet I was quite pleased when Mantality.co.za sent me a tube of Fino Soothe After Shave, as I have always had the problem of very sensitive skin both from shaving and general weather conditions. The 50ml tube of Fino Soothe After Shave Balm could not have come at a better time as I have just started using a bladed razor again (Moving from electric) and was having a couple of problems with ingrown hairs (On my face, not from my back, crack and sack wax. What? Oh nothing to see here…moving on)

So my routine included taking pain killers before my appointment…

Wait, sorry I’m talking about getting my balls waxed again. Apologies.

So my routine comprised the regular shaving gel and I’ve been using the new Gillette M3 Power razor, which gives a close and comfortable shave. However with a close shave also comes some form of irritation for sensitive and non sensitive skin alike.

My first memories of anyone shaving was my dad, using a one bladed razor, then slapping on Old Spice that would burn and sting…but he was an old school man! These days we can get by with better products that don’t sting or dry out the skin.

Enter Fino Soothe After Shave Balm…

Alcohol free so it won’t dry your skin out and fragrance free so it won’t iritate your skin which has just had a blade pulled across it. Fino Soothe is a blend of Vitamin A (Excellent for the skin) and fruit extracts to gently exfoliate, purify and revitalise the skin. It’s ideal for wet shaving, dry shaving and waxing to prevent ingrown hairs, razor bumps  and razor burn.

But enough of what the label says, did it really work?

No ingrown hairs, no razor burn…no problem!

Like an absolute charm!

The texture is creamy, but it absorbs very easily and is not greasy at all. Yet it stll managed to moisturise my admittedly very dry skin, and kept it moisturised all day, even through these changing weather conditions in Cape Town.

The best thing of all is the all natural fragrance of it. You can apply it and have no problem with it interacting with your regular eau de toilette. And the result:

Smooth, protected and well moisturised skin free of any stinging, ingrown hairs or razor burn.

You simple shave, and apply the after shave balm after patting your skin dry (Never rub your skin dry) and you are protected all day long by the natural ingredients found in Fino Soothe. Moisturised and protected skin equals healthy skin which is much more apt at protecting your body from external aggressors. Healthy looking and feeling skin also boosts your self confidence and makes you put out quite a sick vibe.

At R90 for 50ml’s, Fino Soothe get’s an official SLXS Editor’s Choice stamp of approval. It’s a top quality locally made products that delivers top results at a fraction of the price of imported brands and works hard at protecting your skin while you’reout saving the world, just as I do, every day!

We always get these guides to using shit such as Facebook and Twitter, but Ashton Kutcher sums it up in a picture, because he knows the old saying that a picture speaks a thousand words.

It started off with him posting a message on Twitter:

“watching my wife steam my suit while wearing a bikini. I love God!”

Followed by:

“I’m not wearing the bikini she is that’s what makes it so glorious”

Followed by:

“shhh don’t tell wifey” and this:

Demi Moores very fine and perky ass

BOOM! That just happened! I love it when celebrities use netowrking sites like this in a clever way. Ashton Kutcher has not been heard from in ages, and one photo and he is on the front page of every single celebrity gossip website on the planet. On his Twitter page, as of now, that photo has been viewed 287819 times. That’s not to mention the views where the photo has been posted externally. Brilliant.

That’s smart usage of new media. Twitter is now seemingly taking over from the paparazzi in letting fans inside the lives of celebrities. Why go look for photos of celebrities when they are posting their personal photos? In a way if every celebrity did this on Twitter, they could let the public in on their personal lives in a controlled manner, and people would flock to their Twitter pages for news instead of the regular media.

And then…BOOM…Heat MAgazine and YOU magazine close down.

I’m working I’m working…I’m a celebrity magazine editor writing wanky articles…I’m getting paid lots…BANG…Twitter…I’m unemployed!…BOOM…I’m dead!

Game over. All gone. Nice knowing you.

So yeah, I’ve obviously known about this for a while but I thought it pertinent to mention now, as I sit here at SLXS Mission Control while Rod Stewart pumps out “Maggie May”

It’s almost as if he is singing it specifically for me. This will be followed up by Lionel Ritchies “Do it to me” which always amazes me when Lionel croons thew words “You’re my MoTown lover”

Guaranteed to give you a woody! It’s like word Viagra!

So as you know, Earl Spencer, Dianas brother, has children and funnily enough they have chosen to reside in the best city in the entire world. That’s right our city, Cape Town. Interestingly the Spencer family worth is reportedly a cool one hundred million pounds (HERE), mostly tied up in estates and antiques. But I hardly think that matters, because if I had 100 million pounds (I can’t find the pounds sign on my cocktop computer. Clever hey? It doesn’t sit on my lap, it sits on my cock. It makes my cock hot. Hot cock!) I’d be seriously maxing the chillaxing to an insane level of sickness.

Naturally when your old family sits atop this sort of disgusting wealth, you’re pretty chilled. And pretty good looking. Because rick kids alway turn out good looking. The only reason for this is that if they are born ugly they are put down. Scientific  fact.

So Kitty has turned out all rather nice looking and finds herself gracing the cover of Tatler magazine this month. Not to be confused with our “Tatler” newspaper, that old people write to complaining of shit such as noisy neighbours and the disgusting youth of today. I imagine I’ll grace the cover of a magazine shortly, probably as “randiest blogger” or “most vain, superficial and shallow blogger” I’d dig that, if I didn’t hate the word “blog” so much. I’d like to be seen as a writer seeing as though it’s what I studied. I also hate the word “journalist” because it makes me sound like a freeloading, negative, alcohol and drug ravaging gimp.

Anyway enough about ME, let’s check out Kitty (How cool is that name?):

Fabulous wealth makes smiling a breeze

I…own…England

Economic recession? 

Crisis!

The best has to be in THIS article where she says “I don’t think I’d have been that happy growing up in England. Our way of life is so much more relaxed”

HA! Take that expats! If 100 million pounds and about a kazillion estates and access to the entire country can’t make a place decent, then I don’t know what can!

Sorry buggers but she does have a boyfriend. And that’s todays celeb news wrap!

Actually we never have a celeb news wrap, but whatever, that’s todays one.

After the current mess that the fires in Cape Town have left, The Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race will still kick off tomorrow on the blazed (Like I am now) slopes of Table Mountain, sick!

God, I have such a woodie right now. I haven’t taken my mountain bike (Kona Muni Mula — old school — Ithankyou!) out in ages and it’s going to be such a treat seeing these super fit riders kick off tomorrow from Cape Town on their few hundred kilometre mountain bike journey.

The Absa Cape Epic website is a treat as well, and for spectators they have downloadable spectator maps and guides for each day. So simply click HERE to get directed to the ABSA Cape Epic website and then you too can watch the riders kick off from Table Mountain tomorrow.

Sorry I’m busy right now, you know…launching businesses, taking over the world and still managing to keep my reputation of radness and excess.

You know it’s difficult being me, but it will pay off for you. I’m sure we’ll be seeing some new advertisers within the next week. I organise this stuff. ALL THE TIME! Crisis this job takes its toll on a man (I’m only a man after all. I can’t save the world) But that’s how I roll.

Because this is how we do it.

I’ve had my fair share of run ins with fat people (THIS Smarties article for example) and I posted this on Facebook as well as Twitter, and it seems on Facebook loads of people agree with me. I asked a simple question:

Why is it alright at the dinner table (Or anywhere for that matter) for fat people to ask me why I’m so skinny, yet rude for me to ask them why they’re so fat?

Remember folks, you can leave comments on these posts, simply click the heading of this article to be taken to the permalink, and comment away.

Or don’t.

Either way, it’s cool.

Crisis, I’ve been seeing everyone mentioning that they are on Twitter, but I honestly had no idea what it was. Well I didn’t realise that it was basically Facebook status updates, to the world!

For so long I’ve been posting the most hilarious Facebook status updates, but you can’t read them.

Well now you can!

I am on Twitter, and it will be good. So you can follow me if you like…vibes!

I was reminded to write this while taking a piss in my garden on Saturday afternoon because I found a 1964 South African 1c coin, which is now sort of my good luck charm. I think it’s Al Gores way of giving back to me for saving the planet…

So I realised that one of the easiest ways to save the planet, for guys at least, it to take a piss in the garden or yard. Now I do piss more than average at the moment in part thanks to a liver and kidney herbal formula I’m taking in order to reverse the damage done last year by totally abusing alcohol. Abusing is to put it mildly. I was DESTROYING alcohol.

This liver/kidney formula makes you piss like a racehorse.

Anyway, let’s say the average dude takes four pisses a day (Are we using “piss” a lot in this article?), and let’s say a flush of the toilet uses 5 litres of water (I’ve heard a flush is more like 15 litres). We could potentially save 20 litres of water per day by pissing in the garden. That’s at a conservative 5 litres per flush.

So at 5 litres per flush times four pisses a day that’s 7300 litres saved per year. PER PERSON!

Now if a flush is 15 litres and you take four pisses a day that’s a saving of 21900 litres per year. PER PERSON!

That’s damn amazing!

I can’t quite understand why I’m currently single. Surely not for long after chicks see this photo?

And the more you piss, the more you save. So for an alcoholic pissing ten times per day, he is basically an environmental champion if he pisses in the garden.

So you come to SLXS wanting entertainment, and you leave transformed into some sort of hippie tree hugging Al Gore.

In a cool, manly “I banged every cheerleader at the Herschel matric dance after party” type of way.

And that’s why SLXS flips your world upside down and turns it inside out. It’s that sexy. It’s that naked. And it’ll jizz in your eye and make it lazy.

Woes me, where did that last line come from?

Why are there 5 empty Red Bull cans next to me?

Why are my roofies finished?

And this eye drop bottle…*dos*
