Save Money, Earth & Face with HYD Razor Shield

What do you look for in quality grooming products? Effectiveness? Value? Social responsibility? How about a product that covers all three bases and more? HYD For Men may be a new company, but its debut product Razor Shield has been causing a stir across the world. Developed to extend the life of all traditional and disposable razor blades, Razor Shield can prolong the life of your razor by up to four times, saving you money and minimizing waste.

“National studies have recently shown that men, on average, are replacing their razor blades every three to five shaves,” Adam Berk, HYD For Men CEO, said. “To put this into perspective, 11 million razor blades are sent to U.S. landfills every day.”

But HYD Razor Shield isn’t just great for your wallet and the environment, it also saves a lot of face. Its unique formula coats and protects the blade against dulling agents like oxidation and calcification, and essential oils reduce friction for a closer shave with less irritation. And with summer travel on the horizon, this 15 mL, TSA-friendly bottle is the perfect companion to keep you looking handsome on every excursion.

As we’re already big Razor Shield fans, we were delighted to hear HYD wasn’t stopping there. “After hearing about problems men are experiencing all around the world, we’ve decided to launch two exciting products,” Berk said. “Later in the year we’ll be launching our Buffer Stick, an exfoliator that fights ingrown hairs. HYD will also introduce its proprietary Shave Cream with revitalizing peptides that minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while offering a deep moisturizing cleanse that reduces skin irritation.”

Razor Shield is available online at hydformen.com and drugstore.com.

Polyglutamic acid is revolutionary when it comes to moisturizing
Polyglutamic Acid

The skincare world is full of hero ingredients that do yeoman’s duty in a variety of products, but there's always a "next big thing" ingredient waiting to work its wonders.  Hyaluronic acid has been the king of the hill for some time when it comes to moisturizing, but now there's a new contender for the throne.
It’s called polyglutamic acid — PGA for short, and it’s getting a lot of play for one major reason. It’s five times more hydrating than hydraluronic acid (HA), so it’s definitely got a lot to offer, and PGA is starting to turn up in an increasing number of products.
It is, new, though, so there’s a lot to unpack. Specifically, what benefits can you get from PGA? Where is it from, and how is it sourced? Is it easy to add to your skincare routine, or are there some hoops you need to jump through to do that?

Just what is polyglutamic acid?

Packing for a trip means making smart choices — especially when it comes to grooming. If cologne is part of your daily routine, hauling around a full-size bottle just isn’t practical. That’s where travel-size spray colognes come in: same great scent, just in a compact, easy-to-pack version.
