If you haven’t noticed, every woman you know is currently carrying around an orb of lip balm. Those are great if you’re a woman and can toss one in your purse, but if you’re a guy, that would be one funky bulge in your pocket. A better alternative is Hudsalve, the lip balm designed for the Swedish Military. Actually, to call this simply a lip balm is doing it a great disservice. It can be used to protect lips, your face, hands, elbows, and feet, and it can also grease weapons and condition boots. It’s far manlier than that “Gingerbread Kiss” ChapStick you got for the holidays.
