Shoe Saturday: Nice at Nordstrom
Every now and then, you have those special occasions where you need to dress up your look and some tennis shoes or brogues just won’t fly. For these occasions, you need some “nice” shoes. Everyone has a pair–those shoes you only wear for the most important of occasions: graduations, job interviews, weddings, etc. I say “a”...

Three (Seemingly) Great Upcoming Movies in 2012
Hollywood is known for making a whole lot of junk, at least in my opinion. I often prefer the independent films (as opposed to huge movie houses like MGM) because they usually don’t dumb things down to the audiences.

That naturally unnatural green plague that flows forth from the ground serves no purpose but to steal your manliness away from you. Well, all this according to a recent...

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...

Shoe Saturday: Stacy Adams Brogues
To borrow from the highly quotable George Hahn, I’ve noticed an increasing sneakerization among men (and all people, generally) to the point where anyone wearing non-sneaker shoes in casual situations are deemed “dressed up.” This needs to change. The absolute best alternative to the sneaker in casual situations (I don’t suggest wearing them while running...
