The Entire Old Spice Haircare Line
This is a sponsored post. I was compensated by Old Spice to write this article, but was given creative freedom to decide the manner in which to do it. All views and opinions are my own, and I was given total control, in typical Old Spice fashion. Hey y’all, did you know that there is an...
Star Wax Original Pomade
Star Wax has clay, as you know, so what about their pomade? The clay was pretty solid; not the greatest ever, but not bad at all. What about the pomade? The Star Wax Original Pomade, first and foremost, is red. Why? Don’t ask questions. I absolutely hate that it’s red, and there’s no rational reason to...
Star Wax Clay
There’s something kind of unsettling about photographing a vegan hair product on a leather ottoman, but what can I say? I’m a barbarian. The Star Wax clay is actually one of the better clays I’ve used, despite a few red flags: vegan, water-based, and “professional.” Vegan products are great for the environment, and if you’re into...
Giveaway: Hairbond Sculptor
This is the last installment of our 4-part Hairbond giveaway extravaganza. This time, we’re giving away 4 jars of Hairbond Sculptor. I’ve never used the Sculptor before, so I don’t have an opinion one way or the other with this stuff. So all I have to go on is the product description on the Hairbond...
Giveaway: Hairbond Moulder
Alright guys, this is the third of four giveaways in this Hairbond extravaganza. We’ve had 8 winners so far, and with two giveaways left we’re going to get 8 more. This time we’re going to give away four jars of the Hairbond Moulder. The jar says the hold is four dots of five, but I...
Giveaway: Hairbond Distorter
Yesterday we announced our upcoming Hairbond giveaway extravaganza, and today marks the first day of the first giveaway. Since it seemed to be a favorite, we’re going to start off strong with Hairbond Distorter. For more information, I suggest you go read my review of Distorter from last year. Long story short: this is a...
Hairbond Moulder
Hairbond has a cult following in the UK, but isn’t too well-known in the US…yet. Hairbond itself doesn’t deliver to the US, but I recently learned about one UK retailer who does: GroomU. In fact, they have a lot of really awesome stuff, some of which we’ve reviewed before, but that’s not the point here....
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...

Maria answers all types of questions related to men’s fashion, grooming, lifestyle, interests, and advice on maintaining the mantra: happy wife, happy life.

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...
Verb Sculpting Clay
Recently, I stumbled across Verb, an Austin-based grooming company. Now, if you know anything about Austinites, it’s that we stick together. As a former Austinite who went to undergrad there, I just had to talk with them. They were cool enough to send over some of their Verb Sculpting Clay (among other stuff), and I was...
Redken Rewind 06
Redken has been around for years, and people often speak very highly of the brand. However, my experience with the Redken Rewind was a total bust, despite many other people claiming they love it. Either I’m missing something, or I just don’t get it. The purpose of Redken Rewind (I think the “06” refers to the...
