Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer

Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer

Jack Black has a cult following, and it’s for good reason. The Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer is a fantastic introduction to the brand many guys swear by, and I was happy to review some samples the brand sent over. This moisturizer is called “double-duty” because it is a moisturizer/toner in one, plus it has...
The Two Taun Test: Anti-aging in Your Twenties

The Two Taun Test: Anti-aging in Your Twenties

So, long-time readers will remember a review we wrote almost a year ago on Taun, an anti-aging formula developed by Tom and Andrew (not me, a different Andrew), a couple of swell guys. Well, my Taun review a year ago focused mainly on Taun as a moisturizer and skin repairing formula because, pff, I’m in my mid-twenties,...
Kyoku Pore Reducing Serum

Kyoku Pore Reducing Serum

The Kyoku Pore Reducing Serum is a really great way to reduce the size of your pores, which will prevent problems down the road. A big part of skincare is prevention, and as someone who struggled with really bad acne in teenage years (and still struggles a little bit), I know how important it is to...
Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub

Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch Face Scrub

First of all, the Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch face wash is a great companion to their White Knight face wash. I love it when companies make a line that piggy-backs off itself, and this is certainly true of Billy Jealousy.  What makes the Billy Jealousy Sucker Punch so effective, is that it has some really...
Kyoku Lava Masque

Kyoku Lava Masque

There are a few things that I never thought I’d do in life that I wound up doing. On that list is going full Mrs. Doubtfire and putting an exfoliating mask on my face. However, the other day I found myself doing just that–except it didn’t involve a pie, but the Kyoku Lava Masque. Since this was...
Billy Jealousy White Knight Facial Cleanser

Billy Jealousy White Knight Facial Cleanser

The Billy Jealousy White Knight Facial Cleanser is solid. There’s no ifs ands or buts about it. Face washes are essential for anyone, male or female, because they are the workhorse of a skincare routine. Therefore, you want to make sure that your cleanser is a good one, and the Billy Jealousy White Knight Facial Cleanser is...
Kyoku Facial Scrub

Kyoku Facial Scrub

Kyoku is a new brand for me, and I admittedly knew very little about them when they offered to send me some samples of their line. The first product I dove into was the Kyoku Facial Scrub, as I have used a great deal of facial scrubs in my time. The Kyoku Facial Scrub won a...
Portland General Store Deep Cleansing Bar

Portland General Store Deep Cleansing Bar

If there’s one general rule I have about my grooming routine, it’s that I never use bar soap. To me, bar soap is one of the most inconvenient, ineffective, and impractical ways to clean your body. You always drop it, it melts to your shower surface, it’s easy to miss spots on your body, and...
J.R. Liggett’s Foam Body Wash

J.R. Liggett’s Foam Body Wash

J.R. Liggett’s, the purveyor of the one and only bar shampoo, also have an equally-interesting body wash. For years now I’ve done away with the bar of soap for washing my body. I never feel as clean with bar soaps compared to foaming soaps, and I also think the foaming soaps wash off better. Knowing...
Rocky Mountain Shave Co. Hefeweissen Soap

Rocky Mountain Shave Co. Hefeweissen Soap

Rocky Mountain Shave Co. is known for its great products with bizarre ingredients, and this soap is no exception. Readers should already be familiar with RMSC’s IPA shave soap, so the fact that this soap is made from homebrew hefeweissen should come as no surprise. What makes it truly unique is the real pieces of...
Taun Small Batch Men's Skin Care

Taun Small Batch Men’s Skin Care

Taun Small Batch Men’s Skin Care is a new product from a new brand specially-formulated to fight wrinkles and age lines in men. While ‘fighting wrinkles’ may be low in priority on the list of many men, Taun has additional benefits as a moisturizer to make your skin brighter and fresher. As I’m only 25,...
Urth Skin Solutions Balm

Urth Skin Solutions Balm

Okay, so far we’ve scrubbed, washed, shaved, and undergone nighttime therapy. At this point, thanks to urth skin solutions for men, your face is pretty much rocking along. However, there’s one final step in the process that will help polish off the perfection: the balm. Let’s go ahead and move past the Jackie Chiles reference–just...
