How Intrinsic Shaving Redefines Grooming for Black Men by;MinNefer "Mjayi" Mernahkem

MinNefer "Mjayi" Mernahkem

When MinNefer "Mjayi" Mernahkem launched Intrinsic Shaving, he wasn’t just starting a brand, he was answering a deeply personal call. Like many Black men, he had struggled with razor bumps, dry skin, and a lack of grooming products that truly worked for his hair texture and skin type. Mainstream companies didn’t get it. So he set out to build something that did.

Rooted in Experience and Cultural Awareness

Intrinsic Shaving was born from MinNefer's frustration, and vision. He knew the unique shaving needs of Black men required more than a generic solution. Skin that’s more prone to irritation, hair that curls tightly, and a cultural connection to grooming rituals all called for products crafted with care and understanding.

Not Just Products—Purpose

The mission was clear: Create tailored grooming systems that respect both the science of skin and the soul of culture. Intrinsic blends old-school shaving with modern-day style, think Jack Purcells, Apple hats, and timeless values wrapped in sleek, effective kits designed specifically to combat razor bumps and nourish the skin.

Crafted for Results and Respect

From adjustable razors to nutrient-rich balms, every item is designed to deliver a smooth shave without the burn. The brand avoids white foams and plastic packaging, opting instead for clear creams and glass jars, intentional choices that reflect both function and form.

Intrinsic Shaving

More Than a Shave

Intrinsic Shaving isn’t just a product line. It’s a message: that Black men deserve excellence, visibility, and care in their grooming journey. It’s about celebrating heritage, style, and self-worth, one shave at a time.

Review Title: Finally, Something That Works Reviewer: Malik J., Atlanta, GA

Review: I’ve struggled with razor bumps for years, tried everything from drugstore razors to high-end brands. Nothing worked long term. Kenso changed that. The razor is smooth, the shave oil feels like silk. A game changer. My skin is clear, smooth, and bump-free. This is the first time I’ve actually looked forward to shaving. Intrinsic, you’ve earned a loyal customer.

2. YATTA BALD HEAD SHAVING KIT

Review Title: Smooth as Jazz, Sharp as a Fresh Fade Reviewer: Darius L., Detroit, MI

Rating: ★★★★★

Review: Yatta is the truth. I’ve been shaving my head for over a decade, and this kit gave me the closest, cleanest shave I’ve ever had, without irritation. The clear shave cream lets me see what I’m doing, and the balm keeps my dome moisturized all day. My wife even noticed how good my head feels. Five stars without question.

3. ZEN SHAVING KIT (FOR YOUNG MEN)

Review Title: My First Shave Was Legendary Reviewer: Jordan M., Inglewood,CA Rating: ★★★★★

Review: My uncle got me the Zen kit for my 18th birthday. He even booked a call with Mjayi, who walked me through the process like a big brother. The butterfly razor felt solid and easy to use, and I didn’t get any bumps. I’m proud of how I look now. This wasn’t just a shave, it was a rite of passage. Thanks Intrinsic.

4. AZUL CHOCOLATE SOAP + LIQUID LOTION

Review Title: Smells Like Confidence, Feels Like RoyaltyReviewer: Terrence B., Oakland, CA

Rating: ★★★★★

Review:The Azul chocolate soap is smooth, rich, and smells incredible. It lathers well and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. The liquid lotion seals the deal, lightweight but deeply moisturizing. I’ve had people ask me what cologne I’m wearing, it’s just the soap and lotion. This combo should be on every man’s shelf.
