Dapper Dan Superior Grooming Tonic

What the hell is Hair Tonic? It’s nothing short of a hair styling secret weapon. Really? – Tell me more! “Tonic” is an all-encompassing name that suggests “Treatment”. Obviously, not all hair tonics are the same, but generally speaking a hair tonic offers a light conditioning treatment along with very moderate styling capabilities. In NorthRead more

BLUE ALOHA After Shave Tonic Splash

Blue After Shaves is something that has been around forever. For the 70’s kid that I am, the iconic Aqua Velva is what I am picturing.

Salvatore Ferragamo – A Subtil Discovery

I often impulse purchase fragrances at my local “Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix” (Eastern Canada). They have a small section where they liquidate brand name fragrances for a flat at $20 / bottle.
