Manscaping 101 Men\’s Grooming Tips from head to toe for looking and smelling great

May 20th, 2008

We’re hooked in by marketing, convenience, and the color orange–Gillette has us hooked

Gillette, I believe, is the most popular brand of razor in North America.  Chances are you check the bathrooms or dop kits, you’re going to fine a Gillette product.
I was skimming my feeds (using Snackr, actually) and saw a bit from Alec Saunders (Alec I didn’t know you were into men’s grooming–swing on by you […]

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 […]

Check out this great handlebar mustache–think you could do this?

Ever want one of those cool handlebar mustaches from days gone by?  Me, not so much.  Don’t think it would try it, after reading this post of one guy’s four month journey to grow one—Traditio in Radice: Tradify Your Manly Face—I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t.
I don’t have that kind of patience.
Heck, I sometimes trim my […]

Manscaping 101 field trials:Merkur safety razor first shave

I did it and lived.  I had my first shave with the Merkur Progress safety razor.  Really, it wasn’t bad.  Only minor bleeding.  One thing for sure is that I’m really glad I watched The Shaving Tutor’s video on how to shave with this bugger.  Before I get into my experience (with pictures), here is […]

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 Shaving Tips: The double edged razor–Can it make a comeback?

I’ve been doing a lot of reading about shaving since I started this blog.  Not only have I been trying lots of products (and believe it or not my skin is not the worse for wear, I think it might even be better looking now), but I’ve been paying attention to the whole process of […]

Men’s Grooming and Skincare–Makeup for men by Three Custom Color Specialists, first look and thoughts

Men’s grooming, skincare and, well, even what is socially acceptable for men to do with their appearance changes constantly. 
I’ve talked about a lot of topics here that I think are pretty normal for guys.  Shaving, washing your face, etc., but today well I got a package in the mail that changes all that.  Today […]

Manscaping 101 Shaving Tips: Organic shaving creams–help or hype?

Living on the West Coast of Canada, I can’t swing a stick without hitting some add or product that is “organic” (allow me my pet peeve.  In chemistry, something that has carbon is “organic”, so I’d like to see an apple without carbon, enough said).  You can buy and “organic” version of just about everything […]

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 […]
