You might have caught Cameraman Ray on his first You Tube début reviewing the men-u range of grooming products. As you can see if you watch the vid I stroked Ray’s face that day and my was it ever soft! If you like the idea of random people coming up to you and stroking you on the face then enter …
Over at Hippyshopper they’re raving about Male Organics, a website dedicated to providing you with organic and natural grooming products. If you know your methylparabens from your marjoram essential oil this site is perfect, and even the most grooming-phobic will be impressed by their recycled plastic toothbrushes (£2.99) made from yoghurt pots. Other picks include Spezia’s organic nourishing cream, the …
If I could grow a moustache, I would. And I imagine I’d become obsessed with it. I would nurture it like I would a pet.
This may be old news, but over the weekend I saw two adverts starring guys from Lost.
Basic skin care is something we can all aspire to as "blokes". We don’t have to be a "metrosexual" and we don’t have to spend hours in the bathroom to get a presentable mug. Having a blemish-free face makes all the difference in our everyday lives – it makes us feel more confident, looks more professional at work and can …
"Shaving? I don’t need no shaving lesson! My dad taught me how with the blunt side of a Bic and a load of imperial lather when I was eight years old! It shows. Go and look in the mirror. You probably haven’t shaved in at least a couple of days. If you have shaved within the last 24 hours, I …
As a guy, you know that there’s nothing like a wet-shave to keep you looking fresh and well groomed – electric shavers generally just leave you looking like Homer Simpson. But as a guy, you also know of the dreaded razor burn. It’s an evil affliction, and to me extremely unfair. I mean, as men we have to shave at …
Here it is, our first grooming video for Brandish where I talk to Shiny’s graphic designer, Sheldon about MD Formulations shaving cream which you can buy for £21.95.
Most people I know have got nightmare stories from their teen years about Clearasil or Oxy products bleaching their towels or pillowcases.
I remember squealing ‘Are you wearing blusher?!’ at my unusually radiant friend forcing him to sheepishly admit to a light dusting of MAC blush but it seems men’s make-up or manouflage is becoming more and more popular.
Over at See Jack Shop he is discussing eyebrow grooming, but I’m not so sure that UK men are that up for some magnifying mirror and tweezer action. I’ve seen Japanese men with shaved eyebrows but apart from a few averted monobrow massacres and uber-gay men who also wear foundation you don’t see many groomed eyebrows. I can understand some …
David Beckham has been reportedly offered a £10 million contract to be the face L’Oreal. Selling hair products will no doubt enhance his status in LA where he’s playing in Los Angeles Galaxy. It won’t be the first time David Beckham has lent his famous name to advertising, he has also been associated with Gillette and Brylcreem, and has appeared …
For those of you cool enough to have a bath as opposed to a shower, then you’ll be glad to know that you don’t have to whack the stereo up as loud as it will go to listen to tunes while you soak. The submarine bathtime radio (available in black and a nice yellow one for you Beatles’ fans) should …
This is the first-ever set of clippers designed specifically for self-haircuts, thanks to the unique 180° pivoting head. As someone who has cut his own hair for many years (I’m sad to say I’m slowly going bald, so no point shelling out £15 for a grade-four all over), this sounds too good to be true. But, having used these clippers, …
Sister site Kiss and Makeup brings us ill tidings of a new range of makeup for men. American cosmetics company 4VOO (‘for vous’ – ‘for you’, geddit!) does a nice, metrosexual line in men’s makeup. Why not try 4VOO’s ‘Confidence Corrector’, which, thrillingly, promises to ‘banish dark circles in an instant’. Or be the envy of all your mates by …
1 HUGO BOSS IN MOTION Hugo Boss make some of the most tasteful men’s scents. Boss’s In Motion is aimed at sporty, adrenaline-addicted types. Its top notes are Bergamot Oil, Basil Flower and Violet Leaves, meaning it smells fresh and energetic. Or something like that. BUY IT
I’ve heard about two-in-one, but this is ridiculous. BoysStuff is selling some Mullet Shampoo and Body Wash, that’s designed to be used for your hair AND your car. It promises to keep your mullet (or rat-tails) clean and bushy, while at the same time ensuring your motor stays sparkly-fresh. I can’t help thinking they’re missing the point though. What’s the …
There isn’t enough loo-related technology in this country, as opposed to Japan, where every public convenience is staffed by robots. Probably. But James Dyson isn’t settling for that. The Brit inventor has announced a new hand dryer that "pumps room-temperature air through a tiny slot at 400mph". He claims it’ll dry both your hands in ten seconds, freeing you from …
