Disclosure: I was sent a package from  World Of Wingman to review to compensate for my time to write this post. All opinions expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.

Now where should I start. Its not everyday that a new brand comes out of the wood work to make such an impact in the world of men’s toiletries and wow has Wingman made a big bang. Male grooming has become such big business over the past decade with a plethora of new brands hitting our shelves and innovating the way in which we look after ourselves day to day.

A little bit about the brand;

“Founded in 2009 by Stu Jolley, the lightbulb moment came while camped on the beach on a surf trip to the south of France. Rifling through his wash bag, he realised how disillusioned he was with the total lack of male grooming products that aligned with his lifestyle. Wingman was born out of this frustration and he set out to create an authentic brand that genuinely serves the needs of the modern man.

Stu teamed up with Simon Maudsley, a like-minded individual who also believed there was an ever-increasing opportunity for a lifestyle brand offering high quality grooming products for men. From those first days the end goal with Wingman has deliberately been kept simple: to make life that little bit better.”

I thought i’d take the plunge and give Wingman a road test and I was happy I did.

Starting off with my usual routine I opened up the 3-in-1 ‘Mint Boom’ Multi-gel with some hesitation, not because of the brand but trust me, as a man, we all know what its like to use a mint product on our bodies and what the outcome can be, OUCH. I was in awe, the dark navy of the gel and incredible smell was a breathe of fresh air and unlike many others in the male grooming section, it lathered up pretty damn well with just a small amount..and left me squeaky clean.

Now on to the more intense part of my routine, being a man who shaves using a cut throat razor I was intrigued to see how the face wash and face scrub would handle my ever growing facial forest. First off we start with the ‘Purifying’ face scrub, The smell was incredible and the feel against my skin was soft, unlike most scrubs you can end up with raw skin and patches but this one left me with a evenly spread feel and cleanse across my face and neck which impressed me the most.

Cut, cut, cut and I was done.

Now, here comes the science bit.. I, Myself have sensitive skin, Eczema to be precise and was intrigued to see how the moisturiser could handle what I was about to throw at it and being clean shaven it was a risk, to say the least, to see if I was about to handle an all out burn on my neck..

I poured out some of the ‘sensitive’ moisturiser and bing bang boom its on.. nothing but a nice smell and seriously soft skin. I have to admit I’m very surprised I haven’t heard of Wingman before, as its a brand I would definitely be buying in the future and for a very long time.

Not only does Stu and Si at Wingman make such great products but they have an ethical and moral feel being the brand. Teaming up with the awesome guys at Help for Heroes to donate proceeds from every product sold. Its very rare you find a brand out there that takes their time to go out of their way to help others and promote work that help our loyal servicemen and women here in the United Kingdom..

The Help for Heroes (H4H) message is simple: they believe that any Serviceman or woman who suffers life changing injuries or illness in the line of duty deserves the very best support for life. Over the years, H4H has thrown itself into a long list of projects designed to meet the needs of the wounded and their families and, while the ethos has remained as simple as it ever was, providing the support needed has become increasingly complex.

All in all I’m excited and happy to see Wingman emerging from such a tough and ruthless market to make waves that can really change people lives. Wishing I could have an endless supply. High Five Stu & Si.. I’m impressed.
