Whoa straight razor, now that’s hardcore shaving

A new reader sent me a link today with the top 10 reasons you should try a straight razor—10 Reasons to Shave With a Straight Razor—I love shaving humour.  Seriously most of the tips are applicable to DE safety razors as well.
I’m still not up for trying and the biggest reason is that I’m a […]

Men’s grooming tools: Part 1 the No! No! yeah “No” is the right word for it

I’ve been testing a couple tools for “manscaping” of late.  One you’ve probably heard of and one probably not.  The Phillips Body Groom is pretty well known, the standard trimmer razor idea, the No! No! is new to North America and to men especially.  It does its thing with heat and that makes it pretty […]

Guys, Preparation H is for your butt, not your eyes

I’ve heard of this before, using Preparation H on your eyes to get rid of puffiness, but I hadn’t read anything about it.  Well, now I have.  Call me wussy, but yeah I’m not going to put it on my eyes.
Preparation H is, of course, a hemorrhoid cream. It contains phenylephrine, a powerful constrictor […]

Product Review: Gillette Fusion Power Phenom–I don’t need vibrations to have a great shave

I was given a couple Gillette Fusion Power Phenom razors recently to take on a test drive.  You know that I’ve been a Gillette man since college and my first Atra razor.  It’s only been recently that I’ve moved to the old school (and better) safety razor.
So, are five blades better than one?  Does a […]

Product review: Old Spice ProStrength antiperspirant-deodorant

In the past couple months there have been a raft of “clinical strength” and “pro strength” antiperspirants on the market.  I have to say that I’m more than a tad doubtful about them.  I tend to get antsy when stuff is cranked up to an 11 on the keep you from sweating scale of things.  […]

Product Review: Old Spice Red Zone Double Impact body wash

I received a sample of the new Old Spice Red Zone Double Impact body wash and gave it a try this weekend.  In short it looks different, smells good, and feels different.  Is it better and does it make a difference, that’s the key question.
I like the recent body wash for men trend.  I like […]

Men’s Grooming question: How much would you change for a woman?

We’ve all done it.  You start wooing or dating someone and she says “I really love guys in pink shirts…” and you go get one (or three).  The question then becomes, where would you draw the line?  What about your appearance? How much are you willing to change for someone?
How much is too much?
I was […]

Manscaping 101 Field Trial: Yes, I tried Three Custom Color makeup for men on my own

Even-though CJ is at a beauty blogging conference I decided, undaunted, to try the Three Custom Colour makeup for men that I received recently.
Yes, on my own.
Really.
Believe it or not … I didn’t do too badly and, no one could tell I was wearing makeup.  How do I know?  Because this was a true field […]
