Unlike ballpoints that will work at pretty much any angle when writing, fountain pens require a little more precision since they involve a gentler hand. Even if you’re a lefty who simply struggles with everything except pencil lead and you’re prone to smudges and an ink-smeared palm, there are a few tricks to writing the…
Harry’s vs Dollar Shave Club, and More: Which Shaving Club Subscription is Best?

How to Choose the Right Wallet for Your Lifestyle
So you’ve decided you need something other than a money clip – something to house your dollar bills, credit cards, a handful of loose change, maybe a small stack of business cards too.

Let’s face it – as men, we stuff a lot of important things into…

Train Travel – Plan Your Next Trip
Unless you grew up or live beside a noisy train track, to some people, a train whistle is the loneliest sound in the world. Someone even wrote a song about it. On a loosely related musical note, “One is the loneliest number” according to the lyrics of Three Dog Night, but let’s not concern ourselves with that. We think train whistles signify adventure, speed, and excitement – possibly sleep, even. Station to station; check out these possible train trips across…
5 Essential Factors for an Awesome Summer Beard

Summer Scents: Men’s Colognes and Aftershaves for the Summer
Summer is all about lightness and it brings to mind ideas of a little more freedom and breadth. The same goes for the scents you use. Put the traditional musk, patchouli and heavier sandalwoods aside and think about using fresh, lighter fragrances for sunnier days. Instead of going through the summer months smelling like you just rolled in a campfire, stepped in a puddle of malt vinegar, or were doused in some kind of hot dog water bucket challenge, start…
