Lucky Tiger Liquid Cream Shave
The Lucky Tiger liquid cream shave is a glycerin-based shave cream, but not your typical glycerin shaving cream. The Lucky Tiger liquid shaving cream is a lighter shaving cream that doesn’t produce a huge lather, but more of a soft (liquidlike) shave cream. The first time I tried this, I used my brush and bowl...
The Ankle-High: Rockport Castleton Desert Boots
I’m a big fan of ankle-high boots of all forms, due largely in part to the fact that I’m 6’6” and a lot of my pants hit higher than they would on other shorter fellows out there, and I’m not cool enough to pull off the sockless-with-suit-and-low-tops nonsense that is going around. I can appreciate keeping...
Heavy Leather: Hydrogen-1 Sulfur Shoes
Last year, I reviewed the Hydrogen-1 brogue lace-up boots, which were awesome then and remain awesome 10 months later. Those shoes’ brother model, the Sulfur, are a similar pair of shoes, but in low top as shown above.

It’s going to set the mood for this month’s playlist, because I’m feeling a bit...
Modern Dionysus: Three Famous Philosophers Explained 30 Seconds
Rule 2 is important, y’all. Not just for my unborn child, but for everyone. To that end, I recently wrote an article for Apothic Wine’s blog, Modern Dionysus, explaining three philosophers in 30 seconds. This is a wildly incomplete and simplified synopsis, and I’m certainly no well-respected scholar, but I did my best. Here’s a...
Giveaway: Old Spice Shampoo and Bruce Lee Collector’s Set
Not too long ago, I reviewed the entire Old Spice haircare line–some of which isn’t even released yet. Well, since that’s not really fair to those folks who might live in areas where they might not have access to the most recently-released shampoo, we decided to do a giveaway with Old Spice to help spread...
