David Beckham keeps busy. The 42-year old retired soccer — ahem, football — star is also a style icon, fashion collaborator, tattoo-sporter, record-holder, and active children’s charity supporter (not to mention the proud husband of Mrs. Victoria Beckham). And now we can add grooming mogul to his list of titles.

In January, Beckham announced the launch of his all-new grooming line in collaboration with L’Oréal Luxe: House 99, an England-based brand that will feature 21 products that will take care of your skin, body, hair, and tattoos. The products hit the shelves of Harvey Nichols across the United Kingdom on February 1, but the non-Brits had to wait — until now. House 99 is currently available online and on shelves at Ulta.

House 99 aims to blend “British barbershop culture and style with hair, skin, beard and tattoo creativity to build a home for every man’s next look,” according to a statement. “For me, grooming is not only about how you look, but how you feel. It’s about being comfortable, trying new things, and shaping your next look,” Beckham adds. And we couldn’t agree more.

All 21 products sound great, but there are a few that we’re most excited for. We’re big fans of beard oils and balms, and Beckham is bringing the masses a unique potion, Seriously Groomed Beard & Hair Balm, that promises to tame the unruly hair on your head and face.

We’re also big fans of tattoos (yes, even that regrettable one you got your freshman year of college — wear it proudly). Beckham has around 40 tattoos at last count, which is why his Bold Statement Tattoo Body Moisturizer SPF30  (pictured above) sounds promising.

While the football pitch has become a showcase of trendy haircuts in recent years, Beckham’s signature coif stands out as one of the best, even after he retired (for real this time) in 2013. House 99’s Smooth Back Shaping Pomade will help us mere mortals achieve his same look.

“I created House 99 to give people the inspiration as well as the right products to experiment and feel completely at home doing so. House 99 is here to support men, to give them the tools they need to create whatever look they are going for,” Beckham said.

You can hear Beckham himself describe the brand in more detail here:

Does beard growth oil work? What you should know
Man putting beard oil on his beard.

Growing the perfect beard is a lifelong quest for some, and though there are plenty of tips to help you grow a beard, sometimes you can benefit from a little outside intervention. You might have seen adverts for beard growth oil and wondered if that would help you grow a thicker and more lustrous beard, along with various other oils for softening or brushes and other tools to help maintain your skin.

There's a lot of options when it comes to the world of facial hair grooming, because for your beard to look full and well groomed, you need to not only trim it to the right shape but also make sure that both the hair and the skin of your face are well looked after and in good condition. You might also just need to be patient, as it can take some time for facial hair to grow in to the length that you want. The basic advice for growing in a beard that looks great are to give it time and make sure you're taking care of your health -- like getting enough sleep, eating a health diet, and taking exercise. But we all know we're supposed to do those things anyway, and there are some products that can help give your beard a nudge along the way.

How often should you change your razor blades?

It's a hassle and an annoyance, but when it comes to your daily shaving ritual something that you absolutely don't want to skip is changing out your razor blade. Trying to shave with a dull razor is bad for your skin and can cause razor bumps, plus creating a higher likelihood of problems like infections, and it will do a poor job of removing hair, resulting in a patchy shave. If you're not up for trying out a straight razor, then you'll need to get into the habit of regularly swapping out the replaceable blades on your razor or using fresh disposable razors instead. Knowing when to swap out your old blades for new ones will help keep your skin happy and your face looking its best, so our guide can help you work out how often you need to change your razor blades.

How often you should change your razor blades
According to the American Academy of Dermatologists, you should change your razor blades or throw away disposable razors after every five to seven shaves. High-quality razor blades should last five to seven shaves if you take care of them properly and keep them clean. However, cheaper disposable razors may wear out sooner.
Signs it’s time to change your razor blades include skin irritation after shaving, a less close shave, patchy areas or spots missed, skin that still feels rough after, dullness of the blades, feeling hairs are getting pulled instead of cut, and excessive friction of the blades across your skin that it feels like you have to drag it over your skin.
Moreover, a razor that has an accumulation of gunk that can’t be rinsed away should be immediately discarded, as this causes nicks and infections by dragging unevenly across your skin and introducing harbored bacteria into your pores.
