Customized Gift Sets are the Best Way to Show You Care

By

While we have nothing against grooming gift sets (they are perfect for procrastinators and workaholics), there’s something about putting together your own bespoke set that shows you really care.

It takes determination and a few brain cells to get it together. And it’s verifiable proof that you didn’t wait until the very last minute to buy the present. Though you’re welcome to come up with a handful of products on your own, we went ahead and did some of the heavy lifting (You still get an A for effort for buying sold separately sets.) to offer a six-pack option for almost every type of dude in your life.

The best mustache styles every man should know about

Man waxing his mustache

For every man, there comes a pivotal moment that defines the way he’ll look for the rest of his life (or at least the next few weeks or months). It’s basically a style scenario, and it’s called the "mustache moment."
While the decision to "stache" or not to "stache" might look simple, it can get tricky in a hurry. Mustaches can be fickle beasts that are hard to get right, and they don’t always work the way we want. I tried one when I was in the military, and while it fell into the "good but not great" category, I hated constantly having it grow over my upper lip, so I ditched it for a full beard after I did my hitch.
This kind of experience isn’t uncommon, but there are plenty of ways to do it better. Breaking down the stylistic choices is one way, and consulting a pro can be incredibly helpful, so let’s go there.

When it comes to new soap releases and the role that marketing plays in the clean-up process, breaking down a Dr. Squatch promo is like entering a unique portal where some of the specifics take some very different twists and turns.
That’s definitely the case for this release, which features a pair of iconic monsters: Godzilla and King Kong. They’re inspired by last year’s Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which redefined this old-school sci fi rivalry by bringing in over $500 million at the box office.
