FOR BALD MEN: Dome Shine-Absorber Anti-Aging Finishing Serum by DomeCare

So I took that to heart and made sure that I found an outstanding product in that category. This light-weight scalp moisturizer fights off the shine by providing a matted finish on the scalp. And it has a few key ingredients like- Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid that help to keep your “dome” looking young and healthy! –$35
COLOGNE – Private Blend ‘Tuscan Leather’ Eau de Parfum by Tom Ford
So I been wearing this cologne for almost a year and pretty much established it as one of my signature colognes. Yes it is a bit pricey, but if you make it your “signature scent” the price divided by 365 days a year ain’t bad. You’re welcome! –$210+
SHAVE CREAM – Trumpers GFT
Great scent. Great lather. Great performance.
This company has been around for ages and has remained relevant for the same reasons as my 3 above points. Give it a try! –$30
