You simply can’t function in this busy world without protection from body odor. One obvious reason… doing so, helps to build and maintain lasting relationships! So with that in mind, Speed Stick decided to “kick-it-up-a-notch” and create a stronger antiperspirant designed to give you 24hr protection in 4 masculine scents. If you’re like me, it’s [...]

A good friend of mine has been raving about this product for a long time. Two years to be exact. And for that same length of time he would ask if I’ve tried it, and sadly my response was an embarrassed “no”. But, I am happy to say that is no longer the case. This brand out of New [...]

ZIRH is back and for very good reason… they make good products. Their Alpha-hydroxy face wash, aptly titled- Clean is a cleaning machine! It gets your face clean and with very little product. Since Alpha-hydroxy is a derivative of glycolic acid, citric acid and lactic acid, it provides the benefits of exfoliation, reducing blemishes and [...]

Calvin Klein’s long awaited cologne, aptly named Encounter, hit the scene with an impressive video ad campaign featuring actor Alexander Skarsgard, best known as Eric on the TV series “True Blood”. It’s a seemingly softer “woodsy” cologne that has a collection of notes stemming from Mandarin  Cardamum, Egyptian Jasmine, Patchouli, and Cognac to name a few. Overall, the fragrance fits nicely into the category of a Fall/Winter evening cologne. [...]

It’s always great to try out new products that have entered the men’s grooming marketplace!

Using a very streamlined approach, Solo Noir offers 5 products that cover all aspects of men’s [...]

This new skin serum helps to reduce visible puffiness and redness that lack of sleep and the environment can inflict on skin. On the “outside”, it tightens surface contours [...]

Gillette’s newest invention is the Proglide Styler. I’m sure you’ve seen the commercial for it… you know, the Masters of Style with Andre 3000,  Adrien Brody and Gael Garcia Bernal. Anyway, I was pretty impressed with the concept of this new 3-in-1 trimmer/razor and was very curious to see if this trimmer could really accomplish the styles that the “Masters” were wearing. After all, as a barber I couldn’t help [...]

TwinLuxe is known for their high-end approach to design both inside and outside of their jars, so obviously their Smooth Shave Cream was one that I was eager to try out. The concept behind this shave cream is to offer a luxurious barbershop style shave at home but with less hassle. The “less hassle” part comes into [...]

Applying pre-shave oil is one of  my “must do” steps whenever I shave a client, and yes, it applies to me as well (except when I am product testing). With that being said, I am always on the hunt to try out as many as I can. This one called Smooth Shave Oil by Lab Series [...]
