When Harry’s first introduced razors that looked and performed like upmarket varieties, but came with a price tag usually associated with the crappy kinds, they filled a middle-ground void in the expanding grooming market and gained an army of clean-shaven fans who wanted a cool alternative to the drugstore options. Since then, the brand has expanded to include a small collection of skincare and shaving accouterments (plus, a barbershop in N.Y.C.).

Now, Harry’s latest launch is going back to its razor roots and proving the devil is in the details. While the original models were far superior to most of the options on the market, customers helpfully pointed out weaknesses in the design that the brand decided need to be addressed with Harry’s new razors.

To this point, they improved the blade cartridge by adding a precision trimmer so guys can touch-up sideburns and access hard-to-reach spots (look for it at the very top of the razor!) And a flexible hinge was added to give the razor the ability to hug the face’s curves. Handles were also upgraded. The sporty Truman model now has a rubberized grip and grooves so there’s almost no chance you’ll drop it while it in slippery shaving situations. And the sleeker Winston has a new ergonomic shape and strategically placed rubberized grip “zones.” Even with all the enhancements, the new and improved razors retain the same wallet-friendly prices ($15 for the Truman set and $25 for the Winston set) that help make them so damn popular.

The winter holiday season seems to start earlier and earlier from a commercial standpoint. Now, it's not uncommon for Black Friday/Christmas ads to start before Halloween and to see Halloween candy in stores in August. However, it’s challenging to think about winter let alone winter skincare, when it’s still light out at 5 p.m. While putting gift shopping off to the last minute is perfectly acceptable — and may score you a sweet deal — early fall is the time to start thinking about skincare tips for colder weather.
Come winter, the dry air from the indoor heat and the freezing cold air can do a number on our skin. Think dryness, cracked feet, and chapped lips. A little advanced preparation can go a long way. These men’s fall skincare tips will season-proof your regimen.

If you like rain but hate getting wet, you can thank Burberry for the ability to spend time in the weather while still staying comfortable. In 1856, Thomas Burberry set out to protect people from the weather on the British Isles. He then revolutionized modern rainwear twenty years later with the invention of Gabardine. Before he stepped into the innovation space, rainwear was heavy and uncomfortable. Now, we can stroll to work and not worry too much about the rain or the cold. He didn't stop innovating, and now, nearly two centuries later, we have one of the powerhouse fashion brands in the world. His brand lives on today with some of the best Burberry colognes for men.

Making a great first impression is all about covering your bases. You can look amazing or say all the right things, but one wrong move will have you wondering why no one wants to be near you. Smelling great is a subconscious way to keep people thinking about you long after you are gone. They can often love the way you smell, and it does not even register in their memory. There was something about you they just can't put their finger on. It taps into their basic instincts. There are some fashion houses that excel in making you smell fantastic, and Prada is one of them. Here are the best Prada colognes for men.
