Achieve Next-Level Beardliness with Dollar Beard Club

We concede that a shorn face feels nice during the warm months. That said, winter — like the would-be whiskers lurking beneath your face — will inevitably return. As the days grow colder, you’ll find that beardly insulation is much preferable to shaving. Instead of plunging yourself deeper into a facial war of attrition, why not lower the drawbridge, raise the portcullis, and at long last end the siege of Beardylon?

If shaving is war in this metaphor, then growing a beard is peace. However, peacetime comes with its own set of challenges. As with a peaceful nation-state, you can either do nothing and allow your beard to descend into chaos, or you can enact measures to sustain it and help it achieve extraordinary, glorious heights.

Dollar Beard Club makes it easy to maintain your beard. Instead of spending hours scouring stores for beard oils and other beard care products, you can have said products delivered to your door for as little as $1/month.

For a slightly higher monthly payment, you can receive a larger bottle of beard oil, plus wax, balm, and shampoo, plus an optional one-time purchase of a special beard comb or brush. “You sure as hell won’t be receiving any f&%king razors from us,” says DBC founder Chris Stoikos in a promotional video.

If you have a beard, or plan to grow one in the near future, you would do well to sign up for the Dollar Beard Club. It’s cheap, it’s easy, and will help turn your beard into a weapon of mass seduction. Your membership is completely customizable, and doesn’t involve any commitments or contracts. If you like it, you do not have to put a ring on it.  
To conclude, we thought we’d share the recently discovered first draft of Hamlet’s famous soliloquy (thank God for rewrites):

To beard, or not to beard, that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler for the face to suffer
The sting and burn of outrageous razors,
Or to take up arms against a mug of lacerations,
And by opposing heal them: to shave, to bleed
No more, and thereby grow a badass beard
Free from the burn and thousand stinging nicks
That flesh is heir to?

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Hacks for the road from a celeb discovering skincare
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country's 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men's grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That's what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. - Dean Bell

Grooming is on its biggest stage with World Cup 2026
Unilever launched its largest activation focusing on grooming at the biggest sports event happening right now
Ball, Football, Soccer

We don't talk enough about men's grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health. Typically, we tend to put it on the back burner while we focus our time on things with a more measurable return on time investment. Sure, we used to get away with this because guys like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Paul Newman were regarded as examples of the rugged male aesthetic that didn't need the attention to moisturizing and conditioning. Nowadays, though, men like George Clooney and Brad Pitt are seen as sex symbols deep into their sixties, and it is largely thanks to skincare. Recently, if you have been watching the World Cup, you may have noticed a focus on the grooming marketing. That is because Unilever has launched its largest activation ever with a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the most socially connected and inclusive tournament in our history. Football today lives in real time, in culture and on social platforms – and this tournament is designed to be experienced, shaped and shared by fans wherever they are. - Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA

Your dad’s favorite gift may be smelling good
Olfactory NYC let's you build your own fragrance
Bottle, Cosmetics, Perfume

As Father's Day sneaks up on you (hopefully it isn't sneaking up on you since we have been putting Father's Day gift guides and articles with ideas for a few weeks here), there is a tendency to go for the old faithfuls dads seem to have always gotten. Ties. Mugs. Tools. And, of course, the always classic Old Spice cologne. The same cologne his dad got. The same cologne his grandfather got when your dad couldn't figure out what to get him. It is time to do something different. Sure, a man wants to smell good, and buying him a cologne is a great gift. But you can do it the regular way, or you can go above and beyond by letting him make his own choices (I'm not talking about a gift card). Olfactory NYC is the kind of gift your dad is looking for this year.

A deeply personal experience
