Some gifts we receive from our fathers are forgotten, while others stay with us forever. The latter is the case for Dion Nash, who, at age 13, received a framed copy of Rudyard Kipling’s poem, “If,” from his father. At the time, Nash was at the rebellious age of early adolescence, so he scrawled all over it and threw it in a drawer. The poem stuck with him for decades, and over 20 years later when he decided to establish a line of grooming products, Nash plucked the words “Triumph and Disaster” from the line, “If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster.”

Based in New Zealand, Triumph & Disaster lives by the mantra “Derived from nature, engineered with science,” making soap, moisturizer, shave cream, a scrub — and the all-in-one Stash Box, just so you can try out the whole line before committing. Derived from apothecary sets from back in the day, the set comes with all the essentials a guy needs for silky smooth skin: Old Fashioned Shave Cream, a Badger Hair Shave brush, Rock & Roll Suicide Face Cream and Gameface Moisturizer.

We know your girl will be happy after you’ve used Triumph & Disaster’s Stash Box. Best of all, after you’ve finished all the products, you can use the box to store baseball cards, coins, condoms, knives or anything else that you need to keep hidden away.

Dull skin? Here’s how to liven it up

Banish dull skin once and for all with these tips and insights

You wake up, look in the mirror, and find yourself doing a double-take—and not for good reasons. You may notice your skin looks rather blah and even gray — isn't hair what goes gray? While all the talk of achieving "radiant skin" often targets women, men may also want a glow, not merely during the summer months. However, dull skin may be standing in the way.

Having dull skin can also be about more than looking your best (though there's no shame if that's your primary pain point). Sometimes, dull skin includes side effects like patchiness, increased sensitivity, itchiness, and flakes. None of these symptoms will make you feel your best, either.

Now that the 1990s are back, we are starting to explore some of the fashion trends of the decade that brought us the rise of the flannel and the brightly colored neons and fluorescents. Of course, clothing is just the start. Accessories, shoes, and even entertainment are beginning to reach back into the 90s vault. Hair is another place where we as a society are looking backward to the 90s for inspiration. That means it is time to reexamine the crew cut and whether or not it is the right cut for you.

Like many things in men's style, the crew cut can be traced back to both the military and the Ivy League campuses. The name itself refers to the cut the members of a crew team received when they needed to keep their hair short and out of their faces to streamline their race through the water. It is also the cut that recruits receive when they sign over their lives to Uncle Sam and the United States military. Short, simple, and perfect for the summer, these are the best crew cuts for you to try in 2024.
