Beat The Bumps

Razor burn and ingrown hairs can lead you down a real bumpy road; thankfully The Manual has compiled some great products that can help you beat the bump.

AHAVA’s Time to Energize Soothing After-Shave Moisturizer is a calming, soothing and hydrating after-shave formula.

Anti-bacterial ingredients also disinfect minor nicks and cuts.

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.
