Lock Stock & Barrel Volumatte Powder
If there’s one thing that always excites me about this blog, it’s when someone sends me volume powder. When I first realized this existed, I was blown away. Science! American Crew was the best in the biz for me, mainly because they were the first I tried. Well, gentlemen, Lock Stock & Barrel is setting all...

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”...
Lock Stock & Barrel Matte Clay
The good folks over at Lock Stock & Barrel recently sent over some goodies to try out, and the Disorder Ultra Matte Clay was included. I’ll be honest, I’ve never used clay in my hair so I had no idea what to expect. Naturally, it was the first thing I wanted to try out. On the outside...
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. However, sometimes I can’t help but want to see some of these big budget films. There...
Tuesday Tunesday: Merle Haggard
Merle Haggard “The Fightin Side of Me” In honor of listening to Merle for most of a 6 hour drive across the Texas plains today, I thought it was only fitting that I featured him in this week’s Tuesday Tunesday. Haggard is an extremely famous country singer who exemplifies the outlaw country genre, along with...
Summer Standbys: The Blazer
Despite the heat of summer days, there are times when you need (or want) to wear a blazer. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll turn into a bucket of sweat, provided you have the proper blazer for summer. Stick with fabrics that can breathe–like cotton, seersucker, or linen–and max out at a couple buttons (no three-piece...
Vegetables Threaten Manliness?
Move over nail polish for men, step aside Ikea man-daycare, and get lost insurgence of electronics; the real threat to manliness is here: vegetables. Yes, you read correctly. 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...
