Gift Guide: Brooklyn Grooming Shave Oil

By Amanda Gabriele Published December 18, 2019

Dry winter skin is something that plagues us all, and running a razor across your face doesn’t necessarily help to make the situation better. Enter Brooklyn Grooming’s Commando Shave Oil, a mineral-rich, classic formula that moisturizes and nourishes the skin while you shave.

Not only will this oil give you a smooth shave without cuts or scrapes, but it acts as a post-shave moisturizer, saving you a step in your regular grooming routine. But what about the foam? Many formulas made to lather contain synthetic ingredients that will further dry out the skin. Containing only natural oils, Brooklyn Grooming’s blend naturally softens the hair follicles, making for a smooth and pleasant shave. The brand’s line of products includes some rad fragrances, but we love the unscented Commando for its ultra minimalistic feel.

Men with curls: Here’s how to finally get the haircut that works for you

Embrace your curls, and you'll enter a whole new world of styles

For the most part, we live in a straight-hair world. Personally, this has never been an issue for me — while I am follicly challenged, my hair has always been reasonably well-behaved. The occasional stray curl pops up at the end of a strand when I grow it out, but I never faced the challenges that men with curls often have to confront.
These challenges can feel formidable. Curls can be unruly and hard to tame, and that might seem like a limitation. But the reality is very much the opposite — there are plenty of great-looking choices, provided you know what you want, get a great barber or stylist, and arm yourself with a little knowledge.

This stylist-approved trick is helping men fight gray hair fast

Men are adding this tactic that women have known about for years

As men’s grooming standards continue to change, attitudes toward hair coloring are quickly shifting as well. Younger men are more open to experimenting with coloring, and their elders are making some intriguing changes, too.
For older men, though, it’s not exactly about coloring. The quest to ward off gray hair is a never-ending battle, and they’re learning a new trick in the coloring game that women have known about for years — roots touch-ups.

Looking to up your skincare game? MasterClass has you covered with this new series

This top-notch MasterClass series will help you up your skincare game

If you’re looking to establish or enhance your skincare routine, relevant information isn’t hard to find. Dozens of companies are incorporating it into their approach, and a significant portion of what they present and cover has value, even if it’s mostly product-oriented and biased.
But getting comprehensive skin health info is an entirely different matter. As someone who’s constantly on the hunt for accurate information that’s easy to access, digest, and absorb, I can testify firsthand that it’s a lot harder than it looks.
Which is why the new MasterClass series on skin health should definitely be on your watchlist. It’s a “must-see” series that will increase your skin health knowledge and improve your skincare routine.
