men’s grooming

Besides honoring the actual Oscar winners, the Academy Awards is primarily a big fashion show. And compared to the women of the evening, most of the men tend to fly under the radar-fashion and style wise. Well, unless their name was Sasha Baron Cohen… (but, you’ll have to check another site for that news). All joking aside, [...]

This year I thought I’d try something different… I decided to solicit the help of a few of my barber and men’s grooming colleagues to critique hairstyles that stood out to them  at the Oscars. The goal is to show you (my readers) today’s more popular styles, and how to achieve them at home. So keep an [...]

Viktor & Rolf, known mostly for their prowess in the fashion world, have added another cologne to their repertoire - Spicebomb. This amazing mixture of notes include bergamot, pink pepper, cinnamon, vetiver, red pepper and tobacco accord. I’ve worn this cologne off and on for the past few weeks and I must say that it definitely lives [...]

I get asked a lot of questions about grooming. So much so that a lot of what you read on this site is inspired by those very questions. One that I am asked more often than any other is… “Can I even use a razor?”. Now, most of the time this question is coming from men that [...]

There are good aftershave balms and there are not so good ones. There are also effective aftershave balms and then there are others that aren’t so much… This one – êShave’s Orange Sandalwood After Shave Soother, fits the good in both categories, good & effective. Mixed with common essential oils as it’s other partners in the [...]

êShave further complements it’s new Orange Sandalwood line with a pre-shave oil. Being a huge fan of pre-shave oils, I was very eager to try out the combination. Made of a highly refined extra-virgin formula, this oil adds the extra glide to further help its shave cream partner deliver a close and comfortable shave, while also adding an extra layer of [...]

êShave has always been known for good lather shaving creams and great smelling products. And they certainly didn’t disappoint with their newest fragrance – Orange Sandalwood. At first I was skeptical, considering Orange and Sandalwood are independently very strong fragrances, but somehow êShave found the right blend to merge both scents without them being overbearing. The following [...]

Dandruff and dry scalp both cause annoying flaking, but they aren’t the same problem. The main difference between the two is the type of flakes produced. With dandruff, you’ll see large, greasy flakes fall onto your shoulders, and your scalp could be red and itchy. It can be treated with either an anti-dandruff or prescription-strength [...]

Well, I wouldn’t give up on shaving so quickly. I’ve personally noticed that once someone has learned the proper way to shave his face with a razor, all irritations typically subside. Depilatories (i.e. Magic Shave, Nair…) can be a great hair-removal alternative for some, but I’ve consulted with men who have experienced nightmares with their use, [...]
