The Schick folks want us to try their new razor, you know the one with the trimmer on one end and razor on the other.  All you have to […]

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 […]

Just don’t get me a tie! My Father’s Day gift ideas

Father’s Day is this weekend and while I know we like the stuff our kids make for us in school, a nice present is good too.  However, I think we’ve been getting the short end of the stick on Father’s Day gifts.  Shirts, ties, okay these are great and all, but I think we can […]

Product Review: Barbershop Lounge Travel kit

You have to love a men’s hair care line with product names like “get lucky” “3-way” and “sure thing”.  I’ve been trying the Barbershop Lounge travel set of products for a while now.  My verdict: I like them.
The grooming creme and hair gel, well they work as you’d expect and don’t have an over-powering […]

Getting ready for Father’s Day: What was your best or worst gift?

Soon I’m going to be posting a list of good Father’s Day gifts, but you know I’m sure we’ve all (all who are dads) have gotten some great gifts, and some not so great ones.
I think my favourite, of now, is a framed picture of my daughter for my first Father’s Day.  Worst?  I don’t […]

Father’s Day gift idea: Make him some shave soap, and the kids can help

Father’s Day is coming and if you’re looking for a last minute gift, how about making him some nice shave soap?
I got this in an email recently and saw these shave soap kits on this soap making site.  The kit is geared for kids to help/do and includes a shaving brush.  The kit lists for […]

Manscaping 101 Product Review: John Allan's face scrub and shave cream

I had the chance, before I bought my new Merkur razor, to give a couple of John Allan’s products a try. I received the Face Scrub ($17 on the website) and the Shave Cream ($14.50 on the website) to try. Both products I thought were good. Yes, they are pricey, but of course these also […]

Manscaping 101 Shaving Tips: My first safety razor Merkur Progress adjustable razor

I finally did it.  I went out and bought my first double-blade safety razor, a Merkur Progress adjustable.  Hefty little bugger.  Took me a bit to figure out the whole putting the blade in thing.  Not to mention I didn’t know that the blade bends!
I got it at Simply the Best on Broad St. in […]

Manscaping 101 Product Review: Espa shaving mud and skin tonic

Last week I briefly mentioned Espa’s shaving mud and skin tonic spray in my shaving post and the whole “shaving mud” thing caught people’s attention.  Funny a skin tonic face spritz/spray didn’t get as many comments.
Regardless let’s start with the shave mud.  The Espa site describes it as:
A unique concept combining an effective shaving […]
