Bulldog Natural Skin Products
There’s a great line of skin care products from London specifically formulated and designed for men called Bulldog Natural Skincare. Founded by Simon Duffy and Rhodri Ferrier in 2006, Bulldog is a small company that boasts natural ingredients in their products with a very transparent ingredient outline that uses a minimum “low-risk synthetics.” I recently bought a tube of their Original Moisturizer, which has eight essential oils, green tea, green algae, konjac mannan, vitamin E and a mild, unobtrusive masculine … Continue reading

The Old School Barbershop
For years, I harbored a fantasy of opening a barbershop. But not just an average barbershop. I mean a barbershop of the old school, a real man’s place. It would have a storefront and an interior flavor of an establishment that’s been in business for decades, with tile, wood, Barbicide jars, the smell of Pinaud-Clubman product, shaving cream brushes, the hum of hair clippers and those great barber chairs that could survive the impact of a locomotive. Buzzy descriptives like … Continue reading

Maintaining Stubble
Back in the 80s, Don Johnson and George Michael showed us that a few days’ beard growth wasn’t just for dirtbags anymore. These days, more and more guys are flaunting their masculine whiskers on and off the job. A good well-known example of well-maintained stubble is actor Jason Statham. Statham is arguably one of the handsomest faces gracing screens today. His face, as you may have noticed, is often sporting a few days’ growth – the “five o’clock shadow” that … Continue reading
Body Hair Warfare: From Boy To Man, Then Boy Again
When I was a kid, and naturally hairless below the scalp, I couldn’t wait to grow up to be a man. The act of shaving one’s face was a rite of passage I was eager to reach as a pre-adolescent. The grown-up guys with hair on their chests, on their forearms and on their legs (and between them) were symbols of maturity and virility. I was a kid in the 70s, when the hairy-chested Burt Reynolds aesthetic was the ideal. … Continue reading
The Art of Facial Hair: How I Deal With It
One of my fondest memories of childhood was shaving with my dad. I wasn’t shaving for real, of course, but I would stand next to him at the bathroom sink as he shaved. I would pretend shave with dad’s Noxzema medicated foam on my face, using a pink plastic spoon from Baskin Robbins as a razor. When it came time for me to start shaving grown-up style, I quickly learned that mine was a very sensitive mug that required special attention. After years of trying this and that, I have a system that works pretty well. Continue reading
