Paco Rabanne 1 Million Set

Paco Rabanne 1 Million Set

The Paco Rabanne 1 Million scent is one of those rare birds that works well with a cologne, aftershave, and body wash. The whole set works fantastic as a trio, but the major downside to all this is the price–it’s not cheap. Due to this downside, I’d generally recommend you just get the cologne and the...
Verb Volume Spray

Verb Volume Spray

I’m a big fan of the Verb line, but the Verb Volume Spray is a total bummer. But before I get into that, here’s what Verb did right. As with the rest of the Verb line, the Verb Volume Spray is basically entirely organic–no parabens, no strange overly-flammable ingredients, and still never tested on animals. Generally, products that...
Brut: Deodorant, Splash-on, and Cologne

Brut: Deodorant, Splash-on, and Cologne

For this review, I thought I’d cover three Brut products at once: the Brut deodorant, splash-on, and cologne. Mostly, I made this choice because they’re all pretty much the same thing. Additionally, I have pretty much the same opinion on them: grooming purgatory. Brut was founded in the 1960’s, and they’ve maintained a consistent presence in...
Dermalogica Daily Defense

Dermalogica Daily Defense

The Dermalogica Daily Defense is a moisturizer, sunscreen, and antioxidant cream in one. This stuff is a real workhorse. However, as I mentioned in the video, I’m concerned about a few ingredients in this, and I hope that this text review can explain it more eloquently than my off-the-cuff video. Before I get into all that,...
Grooming is Not About Grooming

Grooming is Not About Grooming

I’ve gotten a few emails this year asking why we’ve “shifted away from our roots,” and become an almost exclusively grooming website. While I understand that grooming articles have blown up in number and popularity, asking this question sort of misses the point of it all. That is: Grooming is not about grooming. It’s not...
Anthony Logistics Shave Cream

Anthony Logistics Shave Cream

I’ve reviewed a lot of stuff from Anthony Logistics over the past week or so, and for good reason. Not only did they send me a huge box of stuff, but they have a reputation of being one of the better grooming product companies on the market. The Anthony Logistics Shave Cream is no exception...
Are Parabens Bad for You?

Are Parabens Bad for You?

I’ve noticed a trend over the past few years where grooming companies advertise their products as “paraben-free.” The first few times I saw this, I honestly didn’t care. I didn’t know what parabens were, so the fact that something was paraben-free didn’t seem too compelling. However, as I saw more grooming companies following this trend,...
The Two Taun Test: Week Two

The Two Taun Test: Week Two

Alright guys, it’s a couple days past two weeks (sue me), so we’re in for an update on my progress with my obnoxiously-titled experiment: The Two Taun Test. If you’re new to The Two Taun Test, the basic premise is to determine what kind of results a guy in his mid-20s can get with two...
Verb Forming Fiber

Verb Forming Fiber

Verb is a really cool company, as I’ve mentioned before. The Verb Forming Fiber doesn’t make me think any differently: they’re still really cool. The more I use this hair product line, the more I come to love them. Perhaps my favorite thing about the company is their online demonstrations, which are more useful than...
Anthony Logistics Oil Free Facial Lotion

Anthony Logistics Oil Free Facial Lotion

As a companion to their Algae Facial Cleanser, the Anthony Logistics Oil Free Facial Lotion is a viable option for guys who want to combine their anti-aging solutions with a moisturizer. This lotion has silk amino acids which will make sure your skin’s collagen levels are up to snuff. It also has glycerin and aloe,...
Anthony Logistics Algae Facial Cleanser

Anthony Logistics Algae Facial Cleanser

The Anthony Logistics Algae Facial Cleanser may look like it came from a river of slime straight out of Ghostbusters 2, but never fear–it’s not. Phew, I know you’re relieved. Anthony Logistics sent this facial cleanser over to try out, and overall I was pretty impressed with it. As a guy with oily skin, it’s great...
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...
