Botox for Men: The Private Clinic Review

The-Private-Clinic-City-clinic-interior

If I’m really honest, I haven’t been very ‘clinic loyal’ since I started using Botox, but I am definitely signed up to The Private Clinic for the future. Of course I always research the clinic to make sure they are credible, but, as with many guys, its more about finding time in between meetings and feeling comfortable setting foot in the building – the more masculine... Read More

Barber x Tailor: Gentlemen’s Tonic at Gieves & Hawkes

Gentleman's-tonic-Grooming

What better way to spend a crisp Saturday morning then to take a wander down London’s top tailoring destination, Savile Row. Whether or not you’re in the market for a new suit or not the street has a tranquil atmosphere before the stores open at 10am, and with a fresh espresso in hand the windows make for some inspiring browsing. At 10am, make your way to Gieves & Hawkes,... Read More

Review: Trevor Sorbie, Floral Street

Trevor-Sorbie-Floral-Street

It’s said that the devil’s in the detail, and nowhere is that phrase more appropriate in male grooming then when it’s applied to a man’s haircut. You might argue that for the price salons charge now it’s not worth opting to have your hair cut in a more fashionable environment; for around £10 you can visit any independent barber shop for a quick snip at an easily affordable... Read More

Review: Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Electric Toothbrush

Philips-DiamondClean-Sonica

Conventionally a tooth brush is not the most exciting item in your grooming artillery; it’s something you use on a daily basis (I hope) more out of necessity than want. The tendency to treat brushing teeth as a chore has stuck with us since childhood, where the mere mention of brushing teeth alluded to something all the more terrible – bedtime. That said, as the mentality... Read More

Design x Skin care: Conran Bath & Body

Conran-1-HW-&-HL

With the growing of the skin care industry – particularly pertaining to men’s grooming – new brands face a struggle to break into the market and establish a sustainable presence.  It’s very rare to come across a brand that manages to combine both innovative product design, with a top quality product to ‘back it up’ – this is most certainly the case with... Read More

Review: Remington Touch Control vs Model E

Remington-Touch-Model-Main

Today we take a look at the latest in a new generation of beard trimmers, from Remington aptly entitled the Touch Control. I thought it would be good to see at just how far Remington have progressed in the last 65 years by comparing this latest ‘iPad generation’ model with the first ever Remington razor, the original weighty enamel-like electric razor, the Model E. Made in... Read More

Lucky Tiger Premium: The Growth of a Classic

Lucky-Tiger-Skincare-produc

Lucky Tiger‘s roots go back to 1927 when an amateur scientist, and popular barber named P.S. Harris, created a tonic for the hair and scalp in his basement. He called it Lucky Tiger Tonic. Harris then began to sell the tonic out of his shop, and a few years later, a business associate convinced him that his special tonic would be a big hit in barbershops across the country,... Read More

The Spa – The World’s First Social Network?

Good-Spa-Guide-Cross-Bath

When you think of a spa, what comes to mind? Ladies lounging in robes sipping herbal tea and getting their nails done? A hushed, feminine world of strewn rose petals and steamy saunas? Ok, so of course there’s an element of all these things in many spa experiences. But, there’s far more to the world of spa than you might think. Dating back as early as 500BC, spa-ing... Read More

D.R. Harris Lip Balm

Dr-Harris-London

The smell of D.R. Harris’s Lip Balm will always remind me of winter in Paris. It brings back memories of a blisteringly cold trip up the Eiffel tower, late night taxis along the Seine and a bottle of champagne every night before bed. Winter may sill be a long way off, although perhaps not as long as some would like, but the need to start stocking up on your essentials for the... Read More
