Boardwalk – What a pomade should be!

This morning I tried a new pomade; Boardwalk original.  WOW this stuff is nice!  I love everything about it.  The container, the labeling, the colour of the pomade, its fragrance, its texture and the results!  This is exactly what I have been looking for and I am thrilled to have tried it. I got myRead more

Jack Dean Finishing Pomade – A light oil based pomade

Jack Dean is a British brand that caught my eye some months back.  Beautiful and original packaging along with an interesting product line.  The brand image conveys a sense of cool nostalgia of the 30’s. World travel and adventure at a time where new technologies made things possible for more than just the upper socialRead more

You never know where and when you might find something of interest.  During my last visit at my local Winner’s I took a peek in the beauty section.  On that day I found a number of things, the ZIRH pre-shave oil and shaving cream as well as a little jar of pomade;  La Coupe ForRead more

ZIRH Pre-Shave Oil and Aloe Vera Shaving Cream – Yes ZIRH!

For the longest time I have wanted to try the ZIRH brand.  Years ago, I remember seeing it in the fancy isle at Shoppers Drug Mart but in the past years it has entirely disappeared from the shelves in Canada. Of course, it can be found on-line, but I was appalled by the shipping costsRead more

Redken Clean Spice Shampoo

During my last visit at Hair Junkie, I inherited a new shampoo to try out: Redken 2 in 1 Clean Spice. I use to think that shampoo was just shampoo.  For sure there were a few basic distinctions; fine hair, oily hair, normal hair, but nothing life altering.  Over time I realized that some shampoosRead more

Sexy Hair Rough & Ready

This morning was testing time for a hair product I had high hopes for:  Sexy Hair – Rough & Ready. I initially ordered it from Amazon as they had the best price at $12 a jar, but ended up canceling my order a few days later since the shipping was going to take 1-2 months. Read more

Cock Grease – Rooster Rocking Results

I know!  Hilarious name, right?!  This pomades comes to us from Japan.  The brand name just made me laugh and the slogans on the lid sold me.  I told myself that even if the pomade didn’t turn out the jar alone would be a talking piece. Something to note, there are two different pomades outRead more

Pinaud-Clubman Shaving Cream

On Monday, I dropped in at OBSCO for some old-school Pinaud-Clubman products.  The Pinaud Talc and a can of Pinaud shaving cream is what I was after.  The green containers and classic presentation are unmistakable.  Simplicity and elegance from another time. As you can see in the picture below, this a fairly large bottle atRead more

Clinique Shaving Products For Men

At Christmas I received a gift card for the Bay and still had a few dollars left on it.  I was recently notified by the Bay that they were having their Clinique sale.  Perfect, I said to myself, I will get the Clinique shave cream and after-shave along with the free makeup pouch for myRead more
