If you don’t know healthy hair starts with your scalp, it’s time to rethink your hair care routine. If you have an itchy scalp, notice your hair tends to break, or have never thought to show your scalp some love, the Act+Acre Daily Hydro Scalp Serum will take care of everything.

Sulfate, alcohol, fragrance, and silicone-free, this serum uses hyaluronic and amino acids to strengthen your scalp’s barrier and lock in moisture to stop the annoying itch. In a pinch, you could use this on your face if you run out of your normal serum.

When you get those red and irritating bumps after shaving, everything is ruined and miserable. It doesn’t matter if you shave your face, head, or anywhere else; no one wants those ingrown hairs or blotchiness popping up after. Eadem has your solution with the Smooth Slate Ingrown Relief Serum.

From hyperpigmentation to slowing down new hair growth, it’s a relief Eadem came out with this serum as their first body product. It even helps with scarring from previous shaving oopsies we’ve all fallen victim to. And before you sigh about another serum to add to your skincare routine, this is actually a body stick, so it is so simple to use anywhere on your body where you shave.

Philips is one of the go-to men’s grooming tool brands, so it’s no surprise the Norelco Compact Shaver is a must-have. It would be great if you travel a lot for work, are always on the go, or want something to fit in your car or desk for touch-ups after work before you go out.

For those that could never get on board with compact shavers that are always dead when you need them, one charge of this, and you are good for two months. With a wet and dry function and case it won’t fall out of, this compact shaver packs a big punch.

The Covenant

It is November yet again. And yes, while the most important cycle you may be preparing for is the defrosting of Mariah Carey and her All I Want for Christmas domination of the airwaves, there is another you are likely hitting right now.

Well, sit back and let me walk you through it so you know which one you are participating in and who exactly you are supporting when you do.

How The Beard Club Helped Me Grow a Beard
John Jones after beard growth

I was a failure … the facial hair equivalent of a 90-pound weakling. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t grow a beard; it was more that whatever facial hair I did grow felt like a Velcroed-on Brillo pad: super uncomfortable and leaving my skin itchy and broken out. As Movember and No-Shave November came and went, I made two separate attempts at beard growth … each ending with a sprint into the bathroom when I could stand it no more, trimmer in hand, welcoming back the clean-shaven face I know so well. It wasn’t the first time I’d given up on hirsute happiness. 

When December rolled around, I decided to pay attention to an email I’d gotten for something called The Beard Club, a subscription service for beard care products.
