An Imperial Shave

By Stefan Doyno Published December 19, 2013

We love shaving and we love Made in America – so here is a great new shave set to keep that mug of yours smooth for the New Year.

Imperial Barber Products are made in America (specifically Los Angeles) and the team behind Imperial has worked for over 26 years to perfect the fine craft of shaving. The company has taken the basics every man needs to maintain a clean shave, and simply made them even better. Imperial decided to make their own products since they couldn’t find what they wanted. Their Classic Pomade is indeed now a classic (yeah they make hair stuff too, they are Barbers after all).

Which bring us to this…everything you will ever need for an all American shave. The Imperial Barber Field Shave Kit. And it’s also great for all your holiday travels – thanks to a convenient travel case.

The kit includes premium barber-grade products, and was designed for the world traveler. So what does it feature? A portable bag, pre-shave oil with lavender, bergamot after-shave, some glycerin shave soap, field shape soap, a boar hair travel shave brush and pocket size field notes. Basically everything you need for a nice clean shave and a note pad! Because you may just need to write down how amazing this shave kit is or simply keep track of your adventures.

MANSCAPED teams up with Testicular Cancer Society for bold promo

The Ball Hero Bundle and a NASCAR hook are the key elements in Year 5 of this partnership

MANSCAPED Hero Ball Bundle

For those who know MANSCAPED from a distance, the company has a reputation for outrageous marketing and for being a pioneer when it comes to down-under men’s grooming. (We’re not talking Australia here, either.)
But MANSCAPED also has a social conscience, and the company definitely knows how to stay in its lane when it comes to promos and pursuing worthy, relevant causes. Its latest promo, which dropped on April Fool’s Day, isn’t about testicular tomfoolery. Instead, it’s designed to promote awareness and prevent testicular cancer once again in the firm’s ongoing partnership with the Testicular Cancer Society (TCS).

The best beard styles for men, whether you’re a novice or a pro

Beards have been around since the dawn of mankind — here are the best styles

Chris Pine

Guys add beards for many different reasons. Some want to make a statement, and others want a new look. The novelty factor is key sometimes, and some of us have even been prodded into the bearded world by a significant other who expressed curiosity (while wondering what that really meant, of course).
I sported what I used to call an Amish beard for a long time — i.e., full beard, no mustache — because I thought it was a good look for me. (This is also now known as a whaling beard, I learned while doing this piece.) I have a long, narrow face, plus I’m part Scotch-Irish, so it made sense at the time.
As I got used to the commentary about the beard, though, I began to notice that there were certain distinct “types” when it comes to beards and the possibility of adding them, so I decided to use that conceit to get some advice from the pros.
