These man-sized soaps are handcrafted in small batches. A base of vitamin rich essential oils work with natural vegetable glycerin to keep your derm hydrated with just the right amount of moisture. They lather up nice and each one has a hero ingredient. Brisk Peppermint contains peppermint extract that cools skin and kills bacteria. Charcoal Pine is a black bar infused with activated charcoal that naturally purges impurities and toxins. Forest Musk contains ground up juniper berries that act as a natural exfoliator. Sweet Cedarwood will scrub away dead skin cells and dirt utilizing Chia Seeds as a gritty exfoliator and Ultramarine’s recipe of sea salt, pumice and Litsea essential oil is inspired by the sea.

Body Wash

Avoid the mess of carting around a wet bar of soap and toss Kent & Bond’s organic Lime Herb Infusion or Peppermint Zest Body Wash into your overnight or gym bag. Lock in moisture and enjoy the spa like scents of peppermint, basil and lime.

Beard Oil

Five organic oils make up the base of the Basil Mint and Mandarin Cedar Organic Beard Oils. And while this will soften and make your beard smell great it also heals and nourishes the skin underneath. As will the soothing, all over organic Body Salve made with Shea butter, mango seed butter and beeswax.

Deodorant

Even if other all-natural deodorants have failed you, try this formulation. Kent & Bond’s Organic Deodorant is aluminum free and utilizes bentonite clay to kill bacteria and absorb moisture along with organic essential oils, including tea tree, which are detoxifying and stop odor. You’ll smell like a breath of fresh air!

The Manual’s Grooming Awards Are Open for Submissions
Head, Person, Face

For eight years, The Manual’s Grooming Awards have done one thing: told readers which products actually work. Not which ones arrived in the nicest box, not which brand bought the most media. Which ones survived months of daily use on our own faces, in our own showers, and were still worth reaching for at the end.

This year, we’re opening the awards to submissions.

Who says wearing a hat worsens hair loss? GroWell disagrees
Driving, Person, Transportation

A couple of years ago, I took a flight to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines to meet with a hair transplant expert. It wasn’t for my scalp; it was for my beard. Stress-induced alopecia had ravaged one side of my face, and I was horribly self-conscious about it. Even images I took for my articles here on The Manual I would limit to the right side of my face. Ultimately, I got the transplant on the left side and went home happy. Now my right side is following suit, and I am considering the same thing again.

But what if I didn’t have to do all of that? What if there was a better way to treat hair loss? The secret is to get out in front of it early. Don’t wait. That doesn’t mean book a ticket on “Turkish Hairlines” and start going under the knife (dramatic, but you get the point). Instead, there is a better way to start early. Red light therapy. But, guys don’t always have the time. So the fix is in GroWell’s red light therapy hat. Who said wearing a hat causes you to go bald? That old wives’ tale is a thing of the past.

Why ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky Is Dead Wrong About Pedicures — and the Late Kobe Bryant Would Agree 
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

If the name Dan Orlovsky rings a bell, you probably know him for two things. He’s the quarterback who infamously ran out of the back of the end zone in 2008 as a member of the Detroit Lions. The move is considered such a bone-headed move that when Cody Kessler did the same thing in 2016, pundits wrote that Kessler pulled a Dan Orlovsky. The name also might ring a bell because of his takes as an NFL analyst on ESPN.

It turns out that there’s now a third reason why the name rings a bell. Earlier this week, Orlovsky said he’s completely against men getting pedicures. The subject came up after football fans learned that Florida Gators football coach John Sumrall, a no-nonsense tough guy, loves getting pedicures. Orlovsky appeared on Mike Greenberg’s Get Up show and made his feelings known.
