Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway: Week Two

Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway: Week Two

Well folks, we ended up in fourth place last week in the Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway contest (which was really two weeks). That’s pretty good, but not good enough for a prize for that week. However, remember that each week the points are adding up for the grand prize at the end of all this....
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...
Giveaway: Owen and Fred Custom Leather Luggage Tag

Giveaway: Owen and Fred Custom Leather Luggage Tag

We’re giving away an Owen and Fred Custom Leather Luggage Tag, which normally runs you $45. If you’re not familiar with Owen and Fred, here’s a mini interview I had with Mike, the founder of the male-oriented online retailer. Electrogent: What is Owen & Fred? Mike: Owen & Fred is men’s goods, made great. We design, manufacture and...
The "Things My Wife Makes Me Buy" Web Series is Genius

The “Things My Wife Makes Me Buy” Web Series is Genius

The internet never ceases to surprise me. I’m continually coming across things on the internet that offer an interesting glimpse into the life of someone else, for better or worse. A few months ago I found a web series on YouTube called “Things My Wife Makes Me Buy,” and it’s interesting in the way rubbernecking...
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...
The Two Taun Test: Week Four

The Two Taun Test: Week Four

After week two, there hadn’t been too much improvement on this experiment with Taun. Basically, I’m going to see what benefit I can derive from anti-aging creams as a guy in my mid-twenties. I was skeptical, so I decided to give it a solid and consistent effort. Week two was not surprising; week three was....
Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway: Week One

Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway: Week One

Alright guys. Remember that time I told you about the awesome giveaway we’re running–the Captain Morgan Perfect Getaway? Well, today is the first day of week one of the month-long contest where, if we’re the top website this week (out of 10) you can win some seriously awesome stuff (like iPad Mini levels of awesome…)....
Manly or Not Manly: Pet Names

Manly or Not Manly: Pet Names

Pet names: sweetie pie, sugar, baby, and even schmoopie. Creating a finite list of all the possible pet names guys have used for their significant other is a futile task. The range of names and variations are as extensive as a database of all the couples to ever exist, but one question underlies them all:...

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,...
