A Visit at Hair Junkie

Over the past year I have visited and written about a good number of Barber Shop as well as hair and shaving products.  But I realized that I had not written about my very own “go-to” and favorite hair place; Hair Junkie on Laurier Street in downtown Ottawa.  If it wasn’t for this place theRead more

Suavecito Talcum Powder

This morning I am testing another product from Suavecito, their new talcum powder.  Loving all things Suavecito, it was just a question of time before I got my testing hands on a bottle of this stuff. To purchase a bottle of this talc, I turned to my local Suavecito supplier, Not your Father’s Barber.  TheRead more

AXE Denim Talc

As of late I have tried a good number of products for which I have not had time to write posts for.  This is a bit of a catching up phase. Some months ago when I tried the Pinaud-Clubman talc I was so impressed that I started looking for more brands making talc.  Most ofRead more

REUZEL Grooming Tonic – A Slightly Sticky Preparation Tonic

As mentioned in my last post, I am catching up on weeks/months of products accumulation and testing.  This post is about the new REUZEL Grooming Tonic.

Marc Anthony Argan Oil Hairspray

This post is somewhat after the fact.  I have been using the Marc Anthony argan oil hairspray on and off for a number of months now and realized that I had not given it a place on the site.  This hairspray deserves a post for two reasons: First, of the hairspray I have tried outRead more

Free Sample – Think Again

  This post is somewhat outside of the normal Style4Men activities, but since allot of what we do is review and refers on-line vendors, it would also makes sense to warn you of the nasty scams surrounding something as benign as requesting a free sample. There used to be a time when product makers handedRead more

Barbier So Gentleman – Stunningly Slick Barber Shop

This afternoon I paid a visit to a Barber Shop that was more-or-less hidden away in a residential neighborhood; Barbier So Gentleman.  Actually, I would have never known about this place if it wasn’t for some networking with the Manager of my local Ernest Men’s Boutique. Presentation wise this place looks absolutely stunning.  Every angle,Read more

Pinaud-Clubman Talc – Still a great solution

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 is unmistakable.  Simplicity and elegance from another time. This post will be about the Pinaud talc.  Yes, talc!  The same kind ofRead more

Clubman-Pinaud Eau de Portugal Hair Tonic

To date the only hair tonic I had explored was the one from Reuzel.  After a period of unclarity as to what a hair tonic is used for, its purpose painted itself as a fantastic hair style revival solution. Hair Tonics claim a number of things: adds more shine, removes or kills dandruff, as aRead more

Another cool comb from the Rocky Mountain Barber Co.

The Rocky Mountain Barber Company has done it again by producing another lovely comb.  As you can see in the above picture, the packaging and presentation are elegant and perfect for a small gift. The comb itself is quite sturdy and feel like it will last a number of years.  The construction material is plastic,Read more
