Why More Men Should Own Cats

Why More Men Should Own Cats

Dogs are a man’s best friend. While this may certainly be true, men shouldn’t limit their furry companion options with dogs. More men should own cats; there are plenty of reasons why cats are both entertaining and interesting, and there are plenty of man-heroes out there who had a great time with their feline buds....
5 Adventure Tips for Going Out of your Comfort Zone

5 Adventure Tips for Going Out of your Comfort Zone

This is a sponsored post. I was compensated by the Ford Fiesta Movement 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. See the introduction to this post here. It might sound weird...
Cleverfit Collar Stays: Adjustable Stays for Any Shirt

Cleverfit Collar Stays: Adjustable Stays for Any Shirt

Collar stays are like cufflinks and button studs: small, subtle accessories that a man can use to take his look from good to great. I recently tried the Cleverfit adjustable collar stays, a recent Kickstarter project that successfully raised over $48,000. That’s not too shabby for some collar stays. The Cleverfit PR team reached out to...

Drink a Pumpkin, or Just a Jack-O Traveler Shandy

It’s no surprise that we here at Electrogent love Halloween. It’s basically the best–costumes, nice weather, creepy stuff, and just all-round good times. Who doesn’t love halloween? It may only be mid-September, but we’re ready for this Halloween train to leave the station already. One fun way to get that engine chugging is to check out this...
Booker's Bourbon: A Link in the Beam Family Chain

Booker’s Bourbon: A Link in the Beam Family Chain

Booker’s Bourbon is another link in the chain of the Beam distillery’s small batch offerings. We recently looked at the 7-year Baker’s Bourbon, the grand-nephew of Jim Beam himself. Booker’s Bourbon is the choice of Jim Beam’s grandson, Booker Noe, who once was the master distiller for the entire Jim Beam outfit. This bourbon is...

The Alton Lane Dallas Launch Party

The Alton Lane Dallas Launch Party

If you don’t follow us on Twitter (it’s ok, I forgive you), you probably weren’t exposed to my summer-long complaints of studying for the Texas bar exam and lack of content creation as a result. You also are probably unaware that we went a month after that without access to the internet after we moved from...
Urth Post Shave Elixir

Urth Post Shave Elixir

Some guys use aftershave, some guys go for balms. Both methods have their pros and cons, but all guys should one of them. Post-shave skin treatment is crucial to preventing razor burn, and it’s often my favorite part of the shave. Recently, I tested out the new Urth Post Shave Elixir, and it definitely proved itself...
Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Review

Kinivo BTC450 Bluetooth Review

Yes, I’m aware that the image is upside-down; actually, it’s right-side up…or that’s how it actually looks. The Kinivo BTC450 is my first real foray into the bluetooth-in-your-car world, because I live in Texas where we value freedoms to talk on the phone while we drive and read the newspaper in traffic. Get on our...
The September 2013 Playlist

The September 2013 Playlist

September marks the end of the beast of summer and the gradual transition into autumn, in theory at least (not quite there in Texas, yet). However, that doesn’t mean we can’t stay optimistic and think cool thoughts. This September 2013 playlist is geared to help you do just that–be cool even if the weather’s not....

Looking nice is all about feeling good, and well-fitting clothing...
