Rudy’s Barbershop Launches a 3-Step Hair and Body Wash System

For a proper trim or cut, Rudy’s Barbershop remains one of the premier grooming options along the West Coast — along with its New York City, Atlanta, and Nashville locations. While the popular parlor’s built its name on delivering slick fades, it’s now trying its hand at an exclusive line of hair and body products designed for both men and women. Better yet, the shampoo Rudy’s includes in the system is the same the shop uses to clean customers’ hair — unfortunately, the life-changing head massage which usually comes standard with a barbershop cut isn’t part of the package.

Dubbed the 1-2-3 Showering System, Rudy’s hair and body wash (according to the company) comes by way of countless haircuts and endless nights of trial and error. A finished product perfect for any hair or skin type, the 1-2-3 Showering System is a literal one-stop shop to getting clean each day. From its shampoo which retains moisture and adds body, to its companion conditioner that softens hair, reduces static, and proves wildly effective at de-tangling even the messiest of dos, the hair care aspect (something Rudy’s is an expert at) is stellar.

Backed by what Rudy’s calls its signature scent, each step features accents of cedar, citrus, and juniper. Though, what this really means is that at the end of a shower, users may step out of their bathroom smelling like a full-blown Rudy’s salon. As anyone who’s ever received a cut at Rudy’s could attest, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Rudy’s debut into the hair and body wash field is intriguing, no doubt, but it’s the brand’s partnership with the It Gets Better Project that’s particularly influential. For every purchase of its 1-2-3 Showering System, the company says it plans to donate the exact product to homeless shelters across the United States who serve LGBTQ youth. Furthermore, the brand also partners with the Human Rights Campaign and the LA LGBT Center.

An ability to make a positive impact and smell good? Few companies offer this kind of lasting impression but Rudy’s does so masterfully.

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.

How do you take care of your skin in the fall?

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.
