Product of the Month

One of the ways that I go about testing products, is by selecting a few that I like, and then sampling them on my clients during their services. It’s essentially a win-win for me, because their feedback allows me to decide on my next P.O.T.M. (Product of the Month), and it also gives me an opportunity to [...]

You know, it wasn’t that long ago that women were the only ones that considered using a body wash.  Now with the boom in the men’s grooming market, they are showing up in department stores and local drugstores vying for the same attention from men! So I decided to try out a few, to see what makes [...]

Baxter of California just recently opened their very first barbershop in Los Angeles, CA.  So, I think that my selection of May 2010′s “Product of the Month” is coincidentally very timely.  Not only does their new barbershop bring back a bit of what has been lost in the barber business, it also provides their superior grooming [...]

Created by Ludovico Martelli over 70 years ago in Florence, Italy.  This shaving cream remains on the top of the list for the quality lather that it can produce.  It is also known for being ”the” shaving cream, that many other shaving creams try to imitate.

It’s cold, it’s dry and your skin’s trying to tell you something.  You know, sometimes you need something stronger, something you can trust that will give you all day moisture protection, without the worries of having to re-apply throughout the day.  Is there really a product out there that can give you this, and then [...]

We’ve all used, or at least heard of the company Vaseline… right?  For me, it was the first time I ever heard the words “Petroleum Jelly”.  I used this brand well into my teenage years, but as I got older I stopped.  I was in search of a better product, one that made my skin feel healthier and that [...]

  Another month has come and gone, but the one good thing I always seem to look forward to is the opportunity to review another great product!  This month I decided to stay with the theme of hair grooming, and found a great shampoo, conditioner and a daily hydrator all within the same line for your enjoyment. So without further [...]

September is here (boy…time is flying!), and it’s time for another “Product of the Month” post.  I decided to cover a hair product this month since my first three (POTM) posts have all been about shaving.  So I chose a product line that I have been very familiar with for quite some time…Bumble and Bumble. However, I did find this post to [...]

Black Ice Shave Cream by The Gentlemens Refinery, is quickly becoming the ”must shave”, in the lather shaving cream category.   I was introduced to this product by the owner and creator of The Gentlemens Refinery grooming line, Perry Gastis.  Perry, having worked as the Master Barber for the Art of Shaving and Executive Barber at Truefitt & Hill (North America),  I had to believe that [...]
