Coconut Shave Bowl: Breathe Deeply of Taylor of Old Bond Street’s Latest Offering
Where does that deep sigh of contentment come from the moment you first catch a whiff of the new Coconut shaving cream from Taylor of Old Bond Street? Starts down at your toes, strangely feeling a sandy bite, with a final exhale of pure relaxation and slow-paced peacefulness. As Marcel Proust knew well, this is not simply the anticipation of a fine lather drifting from the bowl of quality shaving cream, ready for your favorite badger or boar brush. Although…
Is Clubman Dab-On Nick Relief Worth the Price?
Clubman Dab-On Nick Relief is a product that rivals the Clubman Styptic Pencil. Both products share one common goal. They are formulated to stop the bleeding that often occurs with wet shaving. Many men have experienced the inconvenience of small nicks and cuts that appear on their faces no matter how slowly and carefully they shave. Clubman Dab-On Nick Relief is one alternative to hastily applied bits of toilet paper placed all over one’s face. Clubman Dab-On Nick Relief differs…
Does the Clubman Styptic Pencil Really Work?
The Clubman Styptic Pencil is one gentlemen’s shaving product that performs exactly as described. This small white stick in the distinctive green package contains alum, which is an astringent. This ingredient safely and effectively stops the bleeding associated with the nicks and cuts sometimes caused by shaving. The pencil is stored dry. The user moistens the tip slightly before pressing it against the skin at the site of the cut. It only takes one small application to constrict blood vessels…
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave Lotion Is Not for the Meek and Mild
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal was the very first after shave lotion made by Edouard Pinaud himself. He created the Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave Lotion in the 1800s, especially for the men in the Hungarian cavalry. The product was formulated to be refreshing enough to use as a full-body splash as well as an after shave lotion. The founder of the Pinaud family of men’s grooming products had the unique distinction of being the perfumer for the court of Napoleon III…

A Quality Leather Wallet: Required for the Man of Distinction
Often it’s the little things that can make the ordinary extraordinary. Every day we pull out our wallets to pay for a morning coffee, cover a late lunch with colleagues or buy a round of drinks after hours. Bulky and battered, the average man’s wallet bleeds change and scatters credit cards with each use. Stuffed full of receipts and business cards, it can make every transaction aggravating and sometimes even downright embarrassing. Why put up with the irritation of cheaply…
Feather Japan: A Modern Answer to an Age Old Problem
The technical superiority of a straight razor converts many men from the ranks of disposable razor users to the rich yet simple joy of straight-razor shaving. The pace of morning grooming slows a bit, all to the good, as the straight-razor man takes the time to truly know his face and develop his own shaving rhythm. But the quickened pulse of modern life sometimes intrudes on even this most intimate of personal moments, and the pleasurable communion between man and…
Ettinger Leather Products: The Key To Sophistication
Whether you’re getting ready for that long awaited date, stylish party or simply going to work, you always want to have that “wow” factor that sets you apart. You don’t really have to wear the most expensive suit to give yourself that sophisticated look you’re looking for; you can always focus on those small details that really define your style. I’m not sure why, but whenever we talk about male sophistication the word “leather” pops into our minds. We all…
The other citrus from Geo F. Trumper
We’ve been getting a lot of questions and requests for Geo F. Trumper’s Extract of Limes Shaving Cream. It’s been sold out for a while and Trumper won’t be able to fulfill any orders for it until December. But if you’re in the market for a well-balanced masculine fragrance with a citrus character, try GFT Shaving Cream. GFT has a lively lemon opening note with hints of mandarin and cedar.
A Skin-Soothing Duo
Shaving can be beneficial to your skin, as long as you know how to do it properly. Still, sometimes we look very closely at our shaving props and techniques and tend to forget that what happens after the shave is as important as the shave itself.
A historic range that has it all
Edouard Pinaud made his contribution to male grooming by inventing brilliantine and unveiling the perfumed, oil-infused liquid in the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. But the House of Edouard Pinaud dates back to 1810, the year the famed perfumer opened shop in Paris. Its popular Eau de Quinine was already part of this historic range, as well as a variety of grooming concoctions including shaving soaps, creams, colognes and complexion powders. He honored the Hungarian cavalry by creating the Lilac…
