Niven Morgan Skincare Line
Niven Morgan is a guy based out of my hometown of Dallas who just so happens to be a jack-of-all-trades in the skincare world. Not only that, but is namesake company is dedicated to donating to charities of numerous goals, particularly the fight against cancer. I dig companies with a mission. That said, I wanted...
Old Spice Bar Soap: Ditch the Frilly Lily
This is a sponsored post written by us for Old Spice’s “Smell it Forward” campaign. We were paid to write this article, but Old Spice did not have any editorial say in the finished piece, and only gave minimal direction on form and theme. You there–reading this: I know what you do in the shower....

Crown Shaving Co. After Shave Tonic
Anyone who has followed this website for a while now will know that I’m a fan of Crown Shaving Co. They are a good family-owned company in Canada that consistently puts out solid, no-nonsense shaving goods (their shaving cream is a personal favorite). What makes Crown Shaving Co. so great is that they use their...
Proraso Shaving Cream
Getting to shave with Proraso shaving cream is a complete and total treat. Proraso was founded in 1930’s Italy, and their formula has remained largely unchanged over the past 80 years. While longevity doesn’t always mean superiority, in this case, it does. This shaving cream is the menthol experience to the extreme. For this reason,...
Silence the Irritation with Nivea for Men
This is a sponsored post written by us for Nivea for Men’s “Silence the Irritation” campaign. We were paid to write this article, but Nivea for Men did not have any editorial say in the finished piece, and only gave minimal direction on form and theme. One of the most common reasons men hate shaving,...
The Two Taun Test: Week Eight
Alright, I’m eight weeks in with this Taun anti-aging test. “But Andrew, the last time you checked in was week four. What happened to week six?” Yes, I know. I missed a bi-weekly check-in. I was pretty busy during that time finishing up law school, so I didn’t get a post up. I also missed...
Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set
This is the Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set, and it comes with everything shown in the image above. The word “premium” is probably just for branding, because I’m not quite sure this is the absolute best shaving setup I’ve used. However, this is a fantastic set for starters and at only $10 you can’t beat...
Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser
I’ve had pretty good luck with Anthony Logistics, and the Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser is no exception to this trend. Generally, when I’m testing out a sample, I give it a few uses (or as many as it takes to form a justified opinion) and then write a review. This is mostly because of the...
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....
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...
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...
