Purchase Of The Week (Soaps From Paradise Body Shop)

I so dropped that ball on doing a post on these soaps that I bought awhile back from Paradise Body Shop. I found the shop on Etsy when I did a simple search for shaving soaps. I was intrigued by the variety offered which included Cool Water ($4.50), one of my favorite cologne types from high [...]

Grooming Product Of The Month (Kiehl’s Damage Protecting Toning Mist “Pharrell Williams Edition”)

I copped this as more of a keepsake than anything I really feel like I need or plan to use. Four different celebrities/artists got to design their own labels and when I saw the Pharrell one, I decided to pick it up. At $18, it’s a pretty big rip off. It’s supposed to tone the [...]

Purchase Of The Week (A Bunch Of Shit From C.O. Bigelow Apothecary)

Bigelow carries a huge selection of men’s grooming products, including their own line, highlighted by a shaving cream made in Italy by Proraso. The house brand includes lots of excellent men’s toiletries including aftershave, classic cologne, body spray, soap, shower gel and shampoo. Most products do not cost more than $10 and are 100x better [...]

Purchase Of The Week “Shaving Goods” (Merkur 23C Double Edged Razor, Edwin Jagger Best Badger Shaving Brush and Gillette Pro-Glide Razor)

Readers of my blog know that it wasn’t too long ago that I decided to put away my Gillette Fusion razor and shaving “goo” cans loaded with chemicals for an old fashioned double edged razor, classic natural English and Italian shaving creams and soaps in tubs and a shaving brush. A lot of people make [...]

Simply The Best # 20 (Cologne)

Cologne, home fragrances, reed diffusers and candles have been interests of mine for a long time. Since I was in middle school (circa 1992) I have owned over 100 different types of cologne, I now own about fifty fragrances (samples included) and thought for this edition of “simply the best” I would write about my all time [...]

Purchase Of The Week From MiN In Soho (Santa Maria Novella Russian Cologne Soap Bar & Linari Room Spray Sample Set)

I found out about MiN last week on Racked dot com’s website and being the shave gear and fragrance fiend that I am, immediately decided that I needed to visit their Crosby street store. If you’re a dude who is sick of Sephora and the cookie cutter skin products and cologne most major department stores carry than [...]

Purchase Of The Week (Jack Black Men’s Limited Edition Lip Balm Set)

If you read my “simply the best” post about male grooming products then you know that I hold Jack Black’s lip balms (originally made for professional skiers) in quite high esteem. Therefore I cannot highly enough recommend their limited edition, lip balm sampler that includes three full size tubes of  ”Natural Mint and Shea Butter”, [...]

Porter For Baxter Of California Dopp Bag Kit

I haven’t tried out Baxter’s men’s grooming product  but I’ve heard good things and know that Barney’s carries the entire line. But the more I learn about shaving as well as skin and hair care the more I feel like going with products exclusively made by the big three London “T” companies and less with [...]

Art Of War (KAWS X Kiehl’s)

I love the artwork of KAWS and I love Kiehl’s as well and that’s why I was so disappointed when I found out that the only product with the KAWS label is the Creme de Corps which is a body moisturizer and a product that I don’t use, I thought about purchasing a bottle as [...]

Simply The Best Post # 13 (Men’s Toiletries) 2009 Awards

This is part of a series that I plan on doing regarding “Simply The Best” posts for men’s grooming products. Areas I plan on tackling in the future will include the best cheap toiletries, my favorite types of cologne both of all time and bottles that I currently own, the best men’s grooming tools (shave [...]
