Feel Good Friday – Tico Shave Oil

It’s a fact: as men, we use lots of shaving cream. Even we gents with beards still have to shave the neck and cheeks so as not to look like a crazed hillbilly. And if you have been reading this site for a while, you know we like our products to be as organic as possible. If you think about it, you are slapping this stuff on your face in a hot shower with open pores. Do you want ingredients seeping into your skin that you can’t pronounce? Enter Tico, the 100% USDA Organic all-in-one shaving solution.

Rayner Smith had the idea for Tico (which is what Costa Rican’s call themselves) when he spent some time living in Costa Rica without the daily electronic beat down. He realized he wanted to make something pure and simple but shake things up at the same time. So since he had recently been trying shave oils (opposed to shave creams), he saw this as his route and Tico was born. He and his business partner Travis McAshan focused on using the best organic ingredients, the primary one being hemp oil which is amazing for the skin because it has anti-aging properties, natural antioxidants, is non-greasy and helps skin disorders.

Now, for the wild part about Tico, you only need ONE pump for an entire shave. Trust us. Even after we read that we still pumped 2-3 times and it’s just overkill. Pump once, run it into your hands, slather on your face and shave. Reason being is that the organic oils soften your hair and offer your blades a smooth glide. It also moisturizes at the same time so your skin is left healthy and not red and dry. One bottle of this miracle oil will last 125 shaves.

If that doesn’t make your Friday feel good enough, the boys also donate 1% of each purchase to 1% for the Planet. Oh and added bonus- ladies love this stuff too so impress her when you have this in the shower and show her how the magic happens.

Ranked: The 11 best Bill Murray movies ever
He's starred in a lot of films, but if you're a fan, you must see these Murray movies
Bill Murray from Lost in Translation

A name that is and should be widely recognized in comedy, Bill Murray has been around to provide laughs for decades. Bringing his own unique qualities to the screen, Murray has carved for himself a niche based on his personality that simply cannot be copied. Between his masterful physical comedy to his perfectly timed and hysterical line deliveries, Bill is truly a one-of-a-kind talent. From his many roles over the years, the films he stars in are either because a certain director or repeat collaborator has a great bond with him, or simply because he is able to steal the spotlight no matter the assignment. Due to this, he has been given opportunities to play cameos in later films such as Dumb and Dumber To, Get Smart, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and a cameo as himself in Zombieland, which has got to be his best cameo.
All the way from wacky and zany to introspectively deep, Bill Murray portrays a lifetime of emotions in our list of films today. If you watch him closely enough, his performative nuances will make you laugh, cry, and think about what it truly means to be an actor. Murray is loved as a human being worldwide (for the most part), who has reportedly shown his face at random bars and parties just for a kick, becoming the owner of four minor league baseball teams, spontaneously studying philosophy and history in Paris, and starting his own golf apparel line. These and many other reasons are why we are here today to celebrate his accomplishments on screen, so sit back and scroll through the 10 best Bill Murray movies ever.

The 11 best Clint Eastwood movies (acted in and directed), ranked
Here's a good place to start if you want see Eastwood's best of the best
Clint Eastwood in Heartbreak Ridge

 

If one were to mention the greats from classic Hollywood cinema (especially Western movies), Clint Eastwood’s name would be one of the first to come up. A highly successful actor, producer, and director, Eastwood has developed his own unique style of film that follows a narrative format with a monumental ending every time.
Before his illustrious cinema career, Eastwood worked as a lumberjack, a firefighter, a swimming instructor, and a bouncer to get by. Kicking off his film career in 1955 as a few unnamed extras, Clint has since spent the following over 65 years committing his life to the practice of film and acting. As a director, and unlike David Fincher and his meticulous directing, Eastwood has been known to get what he wants in one take without storyboarding, rehearsing, or changing the script at all. Considering some of the great directorial works he has produced, this is impressive beyond belief but not exactly unexpected from a character like Clint.
Since there are so many Eastwood features to pick from (72 acting credits on IMDB), this list is about the films he has directed and acted in. This means that we will, unfortunately, have to omit some of his greatest performances to date (Dirty Harry, A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, Escape from Alcatraz, Hang ‘Em High, etc.), despite them being as great as they are.
