Baxter 45th Anniversary Razor

This is amazing. I’ve gotten pretty good with a doubled bladed safety razor so I’m considering making the jump to straight blade as there’s no way to get a closer shave. Baxter has created such an incredible piece. It’s made of black steel and 14k gold. At $345 it’s certainly not cheap but it’s an [...]

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 [...]

Men’s Grooming Product Of The Month (Vulfix Sandalwood Shave Cream)

If you pick up Vulfix sandalwood shaving cream specifically because you like the smell of sandalwood then you’re going to be really disappointed. It smells nothing like traditional sandalwood but instead more like gingerbread or apple pie spices. I don’t think that’s a bad thing and I love the smell of this cream, but it [...]

Purchase Of The Week Cologne (Sephora Sampler, Grey Flannel & Original Nautica)

So yes I have quite an obsession with cologne. I’m going to go through some bottles that I bought recently in sort of a two piece post. This one is going to feature sort of the lower end bottles of cologne that I bought in a nostalgic mood and a rare good buy from fragrance [...]

Men’s Grooming Product Of The Month (Tabac Shave Soap) (Max’s Pick)

So last month I got to write about my favorite shaving cream and this week I get to write about my favorite shaving soap, Tabac from Germany. First and foremost it can be hard to find. The only place that I know in Manhattan that carries it is Pasteur Pharmacy in midtown. They also carry [...]

Pharrell Williams X Kiehl’s Acai Damage Protecting Toning Mist

First they colloborated with KAWS now they’re teaming up with Skateboard P for these limited edition bottles of toning mist. These are scheduled for an April release in honor of Earth Day 2010. The mist will retail for $26 and if I hit up Kiehl’s and they’re still available I’ll probably pick up a bottle [...]

Men’s Grooming Product Of The Month (Taylor’s of Old Bond Street Avocado Shave Cream) (Max’s Pick)

I’m very excited to be doing a monthly men’s grooming product of the month and while I intend to only feature products that I like or would recommend I can’t promise that this will be the case. You should expect to see items like different shaving creams and soaps, toothpastes, after shave splashes and balms [...]

Simply The Best Post #29 (NYC Stores)

Obviously, living in New York City and specifically Manhattan has led me to explore some of the coolest stores in the world. I’ve made it my business to visit stores across the city and over 31 years have developed some clear favorites. While I happen to love chain stores like H&M, Whole Foods, Zara, Target [...]

Purchase Of The Week: Men’s Toiletries (Founder’s Reserve Pre-Shave Hot Towel Mask, Dr Harris’s Milk Of Cucumber & Roses, Farmaesthetic’s Rosehip & Clay Mint Mask And Anthony Sport’s Eye Cream)

Starting on the 15th of April I’m going to be doing a review of men’s toiletry products every month. In the meantime I want to highlight a few products that I’ve purchased over the last couple of months that I’ve really enjoyed. If you get a traditional wet shave at a barber shop the barber [...]

Purchase Of The Week Barney’s (Diptyque Galliano Room Spray, Le Labo Santal 26 Vintage Candle & Saint Parfum Pour Homme Reed Diffuser)

So we’ve all learned by now that I’m very much into fragrance and not only personally smelling good but making sure my surroundings smell good as well. I feel like a pleasant aroma makes a space a lot easier to be in and therefore contributes to productivity and happiness. Here are a few items that [...]
