New Year’s Grooming Is Easy to Maintain With Barrel and Oak

Once you figure out how to untwist the Black Oak All-In-One wash from Barrel and Oak, be careful — you’re not going to want to rinse the bergamot and black pepper soap off of your hands. The perfect mix of citrus perfume and piquant pepper is only the start of Barrel and Oak’s inspiring products to step into 2022 so fresh and so clean.

It’s an accepted fact that a well-groomed man enjoys and exhibits much more confidence. When you’re washed, shaved, and smelling of Bourbon Cedar, you radiate self-esteem and exude a magnetic aura. All you need is water and a brand like Barrel & Oak that brings the goods. The grooming products offer a full spectrum of exclusive body products with pared-down choices made with simple, time-honored practices, and premium ingredients “because we think our bodies deserve more,” Barrel and Oak says.

Rather than steamroll customers with an endless line of products, Barrel and Oak simplifies bathroom routines with easy-to-use products, classic aromatic combos, and clean ingredients. If the New Year is all about a new you, then the foundational place to start is in the bathroom.

This includes the fragrant 24-Hour Deodorant — aluminum-free for a healthy battle against armpit bacteria. Barrel and Oak’s proprietary formula releases fresh scents like Mountain Sage with a mix that is sensitive to skin and stain-proof. Certified organic, vegan, and gluten-free, it’s a deodorant that works with you instead of against you.

The brand’s Caffeinated Shampoo positively makes the head tingle with organic coffee extract and scalp reenergized with vitamin B-7 (biotin), vitamin B-5, organic bergamot oil, and quinoa protein. Striding out with a coffee and citrus pelt, there will be no stopping the positive lasting impressions.

Barrel and Oak’s All-In-One Wash does the universal job. Handcrafted with essential oils, it is a refreshing welcome to the day either in the shower or out in the open air. Organic white birch extract helps to purify the skin, and vitamin B-5 hydrates hair and beards.

Exfoliating bar soap, in Black Oak and Mountain Sage, help to wash away a hard day and give pores an exfoliating clean. Containing Kaolin clay and ground olive stone for a deep clean, Barrel and Oak’s bar soap is gentle on the skin. Certified organic, vegan, and gluten-free, the soap is also RSPO-certified for sustainable palm oil use.

Get the New Year going by leveling up your grooming regimen without doing damage to your wallet or to the planet. Prices range from $4 for lip balm to $35 for Barrel and Oak cologne. Check ‘em out now.

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.

Solid cologne is the companion you need this summer
Duke Cannon solves a problem with solid cologne
Body Part, Hand, Person

A man's cologne is a very personal selection. You know me; I am all about first impressions. I believe there are five senses to the first impression. You need to look good, you need to give the right feel (please don't touch people when you meet them), you need to have taste, you need to say the right things, and you need to smell memorable. That looks different for every man. Every summer, I look for that lighter scent that will keep me up all day. For me, I like citrus fragrances during the day in the warm weather. But I hate carrying cologne with me. Except for the solid. It is compact, convenient, and discreet. I discovered Duke Cannon's solid cologne, and it was the perfect choice for 2026. Personally, I like Seawolf. But I reached out to my friends at DC to get some insight on what it is about solid cologne that is taking off right now, and how Duke Cannon caught my attention in the overstuffed landscape of men's grooming products.

I think we just hit the tone. It started with a soap that was based on the soap issued to GIs in the Korean War. There was something so utilitarian yet iconic about this big block of soap that just solved the job better. We tell it how it is. It's a big ass block of soap that is going to get you clean. - Jason Genseske, VP of Product Experience
