Enter, Kyoku for Men’s Razor Repair Balm. Packed with aloe vera, chamomile, ancient Japanese oils and the age-old after shave splash – Witch [...]

From one barber to another this pomade is great! It’s “matted”, which means no shine, so it works for multiple styles (textured is no exception!). John Allan’s – Matte offers a great hold, which can be stronger or lighter, depending on the amount used. And the best part… it won’t look like you spent a lot of [...]

Every few months or so, men are reminded of how “busy” they are by companies selling products that are supposed to get the job done quicker.

The ingredients of Oat and Willow Bark extracts provide the moisturizing [...]

It’s labeled as a pre-shave solution that is designed to work the same as a pre-shave oil (See Post: Don’t be afraid of pre-shave oils!). However, the twist comes with the addition of  tea tree oil and a gel-like consistency. Resulting in [...]

The Bluebeards Revenge shaving cream may just be the answer for all of  those tough-beard sufferers out there! You know, the guys with the 5 o’clock shadow that appears at noon? Although it’s still fairly new to the shaving cream market, it has created a niche that easily separates it from the shaving cream pack. How you ask? Well [...]

Drug store shopping can be not only extremely convenient but also easy on the budget!

Because their line covers all areas of skincare while staying affordable and effective! My [...]

Product lines created by men and women in the grooming industry always peak my interest, and EvolutionMAN; created by Marco Berardini, a world-class hairstylist, groomer and make-up artist, is no exception .
