Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are my playground, but I'm just as likely to share the messy side of it all, like the time I tested a "must-have" skincare gadget and ended up with glitter stuck in my hair. I love turning trends and everyday finds into something useful (and fun) for real people.

Right Shaving Cream

So many guys rush through their morning shave each day, leaving razor burn and stubble in its wake. Here’s the deal, guy. Your face is one of the first things somebody notices about you.

Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror

A great mirror in the shower is an absolutely essential item, in my opinion, as shaving at the end of a shower is the best way to get a barbershop-quality shave. The problem I’ve found with most shower mirrors is that they fog up, they’re too small, or the suction cups don’t hold well. I’ve conducted my review of the Toilet Tree Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror and have found the mirror solves all of these problems quite well. Features Large Mirror: Compared to others I have tried, the Toilet Tree Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror is huge. The mirror…

Preventing Common Shaving Problems

Shaving Advice – Preventing Common Shaving Problems I’ve got a client who shaves with nothing more than a cheap ten cent razor and plain old soap and his skin always looks great and free of irritation. I hate that guy. Seriously, very few of us are lucky enough to have the type of skin or beard that allow for a perfect shave without some sort of irritation. Many guys are plagued with at least one of the common men’s shaving problems. Razor Burn This is probably the most common shaving issue for men. Razor burn is a condition that pops…

Duke Cannon Beadsman's Clear Shaving Gel

I recently saw someone tweet the phrase “beards are the new abs.” While I don’t necessarily agree with that, I will concede that beards seem to be the hottest trend right now. Of course, to properly maintain a beard, you have to keep your beard trimmed and shave around it (or risk looking like you are homeless). With traditional shave creams, that can be cumbersome as the fluffy white cream makes it difficult to see what you are doing. The folks at Duke Cannon seem to have solved this problem. Read on for my review of Duke Cannon Beardman’s Clear…

Goatee Saver

When I originally saw an advertisement for The Goatee Saver, I thought it was a joke. After surfing over to their website (and having a great laugh at the cheesy promotional video), I immediately requested a unit to see if this thing worked. I really wanted to hate the product, but it actually works exactly as advertised. Pros Performs as advertised.Makes shaving around goatee easier.Well constructed.Fairly comfortable.Fairly priced. Cons Turnbuckles a bit difficult to manipulate.No way to use it without looking ridiculous.Doesn’t allow for creative goatee shapes. Description The Goatee Saver is an adjustable goatee shaving template which aids in…

Hair and Grooming for Older Men

Some of us decide to grow old gracefully, while others fight it tooth and nail. I think we can do both. We can age gracefully while still looking vibrant and stylish. Here’s how to do just that with these tips on hair and men’s grooming. What to Do When Your Hair Is Thinning First, you’ll want to avoid doing things that draw attention to the fact that your hair is thinning. Use products that add support and volume to the hair (such as American Crew Hair Recovery + Thickening Shampoo). You’ll also want to avoid heavy gels or products that…

Guys with Great Hair

We all know that guy — the one with the really great hair. That George Clooney kind of guy that we all secretly hate. So, yeah, part of having a great head of hair is genetic, but a lot of it has to do with what you do with your hair. For example, I’ve got a client who has a potentially amazing head of long, curly hair, but it’s normally a frizzy mess. He towel dries wrong and stretches it into a man bun on the top of his head. If not for those things, his hair would look amazing.…

What Causes Gray Hair

As many of us get older, we find ourselves having to deal with those pesky gray hairs and, unfortunately, there is no way to prevent them! I call my gray hair “metallic blonde,” but that doesn’t really make it any better. Sure, you can always use color to cover your gray hair, but that color will fade, and the hair will grow back. You may also wonder what causes gray hair and if there is a way to slow down the graying process. It’s important to know that whether you develop gray hair is all in the genes — just…

Caring For Men's Curly Hair

Curly hair for men certainly comes with challenges, especially when it is longer. Curly hair can often be coarse and dry and frizzy, so maintaining it the right way is crucial to keep it looking great and reduce frizz. Here is how to care for men’s curly hair. Shampoo and Conditioner Because curly hair can be done dry and brittle, I recommend not shampooing every day. In fact, it may be wise to ditch the shampoo altogether and simply replace shampoo with a conditioner. I really don’t think you can condition curly hair too much. For shampoo, I really love…
