Duke Cannon Added Buffalo Trace to Soap So You Can Have That ‘Bourbon-y’ Fresh Feeling

Here at The Manual, we love our bourbon. We’ll take it any way we can get it, whether it comes straight, in our shaving cream, or even soaked into our clothes. Another booze-soaked product has hit the market, this time made with one of our favorite bourbons: Buffalo Trace.

The team over at Duke Cannon collaborated with the Kentucky distilling veterans to create the Big American Bourbon Soap, a 10-oz wedge of cleanliness infused with the good stuff.

It features a wonderful oak barrel scent that’s pronounced enough to offer the good notes of whiskey while remaining subtle (because you wouldn’t want to smell too much like bourbon). We think it’s a great time of year for this kind of scent too – the leaves are changing, the air is a bit more brisk, and our drinks need to be just a little bit stronger to compensate for the colder weather.

This boozy edition is another in Duke’s line of “Big Ass Bricks,” which come in seven other equally fun fragrances with notes like “victory and accomplishment.” Duke’s soaps are the sort of no-frills grooming supplies geared for the everyman. They also remain authentic to the spirit of the spirit — the bourbon version has small bits of ground corn in the soap as a nod to the distillation process and as an extra exfoliant for the skin.

For the spirits enthusiast in your life who may already have enough whiskies in his/her collection, this would be a very interesting gift (or even a stocking stuffer). You could match it up with one of our other favorite bourbon grooming products or give it in tandem with coasters and a spirits book. And, speaking of bourbon, don’t forget to check out our new podcast, Beards, Booze, and Bacon.

The Big American Bourbon Soap comes in single or four-pack sets ($9.50 for one, $30 for four). Find it at select retailers and on Duke Cannon’s site.

When it comes to their skincare routines, some guys get a little lazy every now and then. (Sheepishly raises hand.) We’re always looking for shortcuts, and sometimes, our search takes us to potential men’s skincare hacks.
Time-saving options tend to be in short supply, though, so it’s always a pleasant surprise when we find one that works. That’s especially the case with Dream Mouth Tape Plus, which actually allows men to do skin care in their sleep.

SOL LABS claims its new sunscreen and anti-aging face serum is a game changer
SOL LABS LUMIBRONZE

If there was one product in the men’s skincare market that seemed stable and mature, it was sunscreen. Produce a quality product with an SPF of 30+, get the formulation right, and buyers will go for it, as long as the marketing is solid and the sunscreen isn't too greasy.
But now, there's a new kid on the block in the sunscreen world. It's called LUMIBRONZE SPF 30 Mineral Anti-Aging Bronzing Serum, and it's from SOL LABS. The company is calling it a category game-changer, and it's easy to see why.

At first glance, this sunscreen looks familiar

Skincare trends come and go, but for many men, assessing these different trends puts them in uncharted territory. The explosive growth of men’s skincare products and the concomitant advertising pitches, combined with the available array of social media platforms, has made it especially difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Few of these trends are genuinely dangerous, but there are exceptions to the rule. One is the ongoing skincare trend that has younger men shaving their eyelashes to appear more masculine. Eyelash trimming is truly bewildering in a variety of ways, so we decided to do a deeper dive into how it started, what the risks are, and how different experts feel about it.
