We consider ourselves to be level headed people, but even we want to put a fist through a wall every once in a while. Something happens and it's just one of those days feelin' like [...]

Duke Cannon is the man Santa Clause wishes he could be. The man that James Bond signals for assistance when his Aston Martin breaks down and his abs are feeling a little flabby. He'd applaud [...]

Our whole idea of soap making got turned on its head after we saw Fight Club. Maybe the craft isn't just for the Martha Stewart's of the world, maybe a dude who isn't afraid of [...]

At first glance this looks like a chunk ripped out of the Aggro Crag on Global Guts. If you didn't watch that show, basically it looks weird. Despite appearing to be some sort of meteoric debris, the [...]

Describing traveling with toiletries as a pain in the ass is like describing being in a car accident as inconvenient. If you're incapable of escaping from things like hair product, moisturizer and your favorite razor, [...]

Vintage men's grooming accessories immediately bring to mind things like barbershops, hot shaves and straight razors. You know, the tatted up guy in the rolled up sleeves with the sweet mustache you wish you could [...]

We were aware that washing your hair with beer was a good thing and it conditions it nicely. We've even tried it on occasion, albeit by accident while we were in a mosh pit (please we're [...]

There are certain rules of life that as men we learn as we get older – fishing is fun as long as you have beer, no one goes to Amsterdam to “see the sights” and [...]

When was the last time you "decorated" a bathroom? College? First apartment? The simple truth is that we could probably survive with just a towel bar and a shower curtain, and those are for totally [...]

Don’t you hate it when you’ve had a platter of bacon and as much as you want to let the taste linger in your mouth for days on end proper “hygiene” says you need to [...]

The only remnants of the barbershop era are the occasional barbershop poles on hip side street in NYC and the blue tonic your comb sits in at the salon.  Yup, the salon - that’s where [...]

The art of removing (or perfectly "stubbling") the hair on your face is one you probably have a system for. Equipment for the process has gotten to the point now that it's more out of [...]
