Smell Better: A 4-in-1 Shower Gel That Can Help

Maybe you’re a guy who wants to just wash and go, or maybe you’re one of those who likes to take pampering to another level…either way, here’s something you’ll both find of use. Molton Brown Sport is a body wash, face wash, hair and shave cream…but above all, it’s a multi-function sports wash that actually does the job (and more) of it’s promissory “4-in-1” subtitle and does so with some luxuriant charm.

One of the main ingredients, Cassia bark—commonly referred to as cinnamon, helps increase circulation in the body. This quality makes it a great scalp cleanser and also a great post-work out muscle soother (note: it’s not a major tingle, but just enough). It also adds a bit of shine to your hair for all you Jon Hamm’s out there. The non comedogenic formula is gentle enough for your face and, surprisingly— gives really good shave, even though the clear gel lathers more like a body soap than something intended for a shave. We can attribute the excellent razor gliding to something called guar gum, which does a great job at softening hair and, subsequently the skin on your face.

Molton Brown excels at scents, so it’s no surprise SPORT’s scent is unique and sophisticated (read: this is not AXE). The wash smells naturally zingy-lime fresh and while it’s no replacement for a follow up scent it lingers close to the skin to a pleasant deodorizing effect should anyone happen to get all up and close to you. We’ll go ahead and say here’s a soap you’ll want in your hands when you’re in a rush and off to an elegant affair.

When you realize all the clutter it obviates from your bathroom (face wash, shampoo, body wash, shave cream), is it worth the $24 price tag? Actually, yeah.

How to trim a beard the right way — from stubble to full-on lumberjack
Choose the right beard, get the right tools, and master these techniques for a great look
Beard trimming

At first glance, how to trim a beard seems like an easy problem to solve. I have first-hand experience with this, as my beard grew out evenly when I decided to sprout one. Even better, it came in with a reddish color that complemented my long face and Scotch-Irish ancestry on my father’s side. The basic color and uniformity made it easy to overlook the inevitable mistakes I made, so the toughest task was reminding myself to trim every other day. Otherwise, I would grow a small beard forest that was tough to handle.
For many men, though, it’s not so simple. That’s especially true for beard novices and for those men whose beards serve up some surprises. When that happens, trimming becomes a tougher task, so a brief tactical review is a solid idea.
