Floral and grounded, like sunlight settling on skin. Rose geranium, myrtle, and broom flower meet rosemary, honeybush, and sun-warmed trees. Familiar but elusive. Rooted in warmth.

Smells like an Italian barber shop. Lathers like fluffy summer clouds. This is my favorite summer shave soap because it's fresh and gentlemanly. You'll understand the second you use it.

I use the same Proraso after-shave in the summer, too. With Eucalyptus and a hint of Menthol, it offers a nice cooling, tingling sensation.

Birding is having a moment. And I've joined the bandwagon. It's a fun way to connect with nature, and let's be honest, if birds ever decide to take over the world... Know thy enemy.
Buy $109.99
Sony PS-LX5BT Full Auto Playback Premium Turntable with Bluetooth
My wife and I love a Sunday binge, just like everyone else. But on summer weeknights, it's nice to stay off the screens. Throw on a record, listen, chat, play cards, do a puzzle, whatever.
